As a Birth Doula…

I will be there to support you on your wonderful journey into parenthood, taking tiny steps together to make this process as stress free as possible. I will do this by:

1. Visiting you twice before your birth to discuss what you can expect to happen during your labour and then listening without judgement to your birth wishes. I will help you to create a plan to fulfill these desires to make your birth the magical experience that you wish for. Each one of these visits will last approximately 2 hours.

2. Providing continual telephone and email support for any challenges or issues that may arise.

3. Being on call from two weeks before until two weeks after your due date. If your baby arrives earlier than this, I will do everything I can to still be there to support you.

4. Being present at your birth from the moment you call me, and staying with you until your beautiful baby is born and you have had your glorious ‘golden hour’.

5. Visiting you once more at home, where we can debrief on your birth, discuss any issues that you might have and ensure that you feel confident and comfortable with your transition into parenthood (your new family dynamic).

6. Being available by telephone and email for up to 6 weeks after your birth.
