Birth and Postpartum Doula Offerings
-
To be held throughout your pregnancy, birth and postpartum. To feel empowered, nurtured, and prepared for the transitions ahead.
Inclusions:
TWO x ANTENATAL SESSIONS - 2 hours each
We spend time getting to know each other over a basket of organic produce which I bring with me to each session. As I sit with you and your birth partner/s, we build the connection and trust needed for me to join you on this journey. We discuss evidence-based birth and postpartum educational resources and where to find them. We set clear expectations for your birth and postpartum planning, design custom birth plans, practice relaxation techniques, birth positioning, address any potential fears you or your partner may have, and importantly your intentions for birth. The topics are endless, but the ultimate goal of these sessions is to create connection, and leave you empowered and confident through your pregnancy, birth and fourth trimester.
FULL BIRTH SUPPORT & ATTENDANCE - no time limit, on call for your labour and birth
I work with your birth team in all birthing environments (home birth or hospital birth) to empower you through the birth as it unfolds. I work with clients to birth how they wish to, including physiological vaginal births, inductions, and planned and unplanned cesareans. I assist you and your birth partner to implement the relaxation techniques we practiced in the antenatal sessions, guide you through breath-work, positioning, provide massage, counter pressure, acupressure, relieve your birth partner for breaks, assist you with staying well nourished and hydrated, and be a source of unwavering belief and reassurance in your ability to birth your baby. I am with you from the onset of labour, through to the first couple of hours with your newborn, uninterrupted.
TWO x POSTPARTUM SESSIONS - 2 hours each
I come to you in the comfort of your home while you settle into your new role. I bring two organic, warm and nourishing meals to each visit. In these sessions we can debrief your birth, I hold space for you and your newborn to rest which might include taking care of your newborn whilst you shower, sleep, or take time for self-care. I assist you with newborn settling, provide gentle breastfeeding and bottle feeding support, provide light relief from household duties such as making beds, grocery shopping or cleaning up after guests, discuss the need for any specialised services and connect you with local resources, accompany you to any appointments, and ensure you are nurtured, nourished, and supported in your fourth trimester.
Text, phone, and email support in-between visits.

Birthing your baby can be empowering, exciting, and also extremely healing if you’ve experienced trauma or adversity along your journey to this moment. Creating a birth plan, or in fact a couple of different birth plans to address the different paths a birth may take, will enable you to uncover the elements of birth you may not know, research and educate yourself on these areas, and discuss them with your care providers. This process will reaffirm your birth preferences, and leave you feeling prepared for all the paths your upcoming birth may take you. As Lael Stone once said, turning up to your birth with a ‘go with the flow, good girl’ attitude, removes you from your power to be the most important and respected person in the room. At the end of our session you will receive a PDF copy of your birth plan/s.

It all begins with connection, so I honour the importance of you feeling comfortable with who you include in your village. Prior to committing to one of my offerings, I welcome you to book in for a free 20 minute face to face meeting, phone call or virtual session where we can discuss your unique journey, and how I can assist you.
