Care Packages

​Caring support

I am passionate about supporting women and families through pregnancy, birth and postnatal care.

What do you need? A listening ear, someone to share relevant information and provide gentle, calm, reassuring support? I can help with all of these. Together we can discuss the issues that are on your mind, the support you feel you need and the information that will help empower you to have the most positive experience you can, regardless of how the birth of your child unfolds.

 

​Birthing Doula

As a birthing doula I have an understanding of the many things that aid birth, including the important role of hormones for pain relief. I can help you feel comfortable and gain confidence to embrace your labour, feeling positive and with a great trust in your body. I believe having a positive birth experience encourages a good foundation for the ongoing relationship with your newborn babe.

​

Antenatals

We meet generally for three antenatals and one social visit leading up to the birth to prepare and to build a relationship. We can involve your partner if you wish during part of our time together as this can be beneficial as we plan for the birth.

​

On Call

I will be on call from 38 weeks, day and night and will provide caring support during labour through to the birth of your baby and a few hours after whilst you settle in together, while giving you plenty of space to enjoy this special bonding time. I will visit you at least once following the birth over the next few days and will most likely bring something tasty and nourishing to eat.

​

Postnatal

I also offer post natal support for as little or as long as you need, helping you to enjoy the baby moon period, (early few weeks) and the forth trimester, (3 months following birth) and beyond if required. I will offer calm and loving support to help you manage the responsibilities within the home so that you can have as much time as possible to cherish and bond with your little one. I offer practical help, a listening ear and will help make sure you are well nourished with rest, good food and kind words of encouragement.

​

Remote Support

For those you who are not local I also offer remote support. Im happy to do this for anyone looking for a UK Doula, within or without the UK.

More about Me…

​​​As a dedicated birth doula, my path into this work grew naturally from life experience—raising my family, caring for loved ones, and answering the call to support women and families through pregnancy, labour, and birth. I have had the privilege of attending home births, birth centre births, and hospital births, offering calm, compassionate, and continuous care. Alongside my doula work, I’m an artist who loves drawing portraits of babies, and I practice yoga, qigong, cold-water swimming, and drumming to stay grounded. Wherever you are planning to birth, my role is to walk beside you—providing reassurance, encouragement, and informed support so you feel empowered, safe, and nurtured on your unique birth journey.
