Postnatal Doula Support - £45 per hour
These can be booked as short term or one off visits and can be offered in morning or afternoon slots. I work for a minimum of 2 hours and you can book as you feel you need. I can take care of baby whilst you rest, work or practise self care. I can prepare your dinner or lunch, do some light housework, support your breastfeeding journey or offer a listening ear.
Overnight Support - Hospital - £40 per hour
Should you have a c-section or need to stay in hospital overnight post birth, your birth partner may need to return home for rest or to take care of siblings leaving you alone on a busy postnatal ward. I can take over your care and make sure you have one to one support throughout the night, to pass you baby to feed, support with breastfeeding, changing and settling baby, making sure you are nourished hydrated and able to rest.
Night Doula - £40 per hour
I have supported many clients as a night doula and offer a bespoke service for you. I offer a free video call for us to meet and for you to ask any questions you may have and to talk through how you would like your overnight support to look. I am fully approved with carrot insurance. My hours of availability are from 19.00 until 05.00 and my minimum booking is for 4 hours.
Antenatal Session - £100
A 2 hour session in your home or online where we will talk through labour and birth and prepare you by thinking about your birth plan, talk through any questions you may have and discuss comfort measures. You may like to add a postnatal planning session to this where we can talk about those early days and feeding / breastfeeding to help you feel more prepared for your new arrival. This includes any further information that you would like me to share with you following our meeting.
An hour to ask me anything! £60.00
Do you want to talk through an intervention that you have been offered, would you like to talk through your birth plan? - sometimes your birth plan can change before birth and you might want to talk it through with me. I offer in-partial support with up to date information to help you feel informed and empowered with your decision making. This can be via video call or telephone call, whichever you prefer.
Postnatal Planning Session - £200.00
A 3 hour session in the comfort of your own home, we will talk through everything from the 3rd stage of birth all the way through to the end of the 4th trimester. This will include how you want to birth your placenta, delayed cord clamping and the benefits, the golden hour, feeding your baby in whichever way you choose and talking through all the options. How you can best prepare antenatally to feed your baby. Normal newborn behaviour. How your hormones and your partners hormones change once your baby is born and lots more!. This is a real deep dive into the 4th trimester and a chance for you to really prepare for bringing your newborn home. I can talk you through the benefits of sling wearing, how to bathe baby, washing bottles, how pumps and sterlisers work, even helping you to set up your sleeping area with baby and packing your birth bag. I offer a free 30 min video call prior to our booking so that I can make sure that we cover everything that you want to learn and understand in our 3 hour session. This is still a useful session if you have already attended antenatal classes as this is really bespoke to your needs and in the comfort of your own home.
Shared Care Package - £2650.00
I also offer doula support as a shared care package if you would like me to be your doula but I am not fully available for the on-call period. This means that you will have two doulas looking after you and have the advantage of calling on both of our expertise from the moment you decide to work with us. My shared care doulas are Lyddie & Andrea who I personally know and have worked with. You get to know both of us as we share the antenatal sessions and we share the on-call period giving you complete peace of mind that one of us will be with you when you call us to your birth.

4 sessions (8 hours) covering antenatal education, personalised hypnobirthing and birth mindset work as we build our relationship and prepare for your birth and postpartum.
