POSTNATAL DOULA

As a postnatal doula, my role is guided by the mother and her needs as she settles in to life at home with her baby. I watch her baby whilst she has time for herself, I give support early on with feeding, play with toddlers, prepare meals and bring cake. I can get the hoover out, water the plants and make a great cup of tea! Together we go on shopping trips and walks in the park. I provide information and signpost extra support as needed. I find out where she can meet other mums, or where the best cafes are with comfy sofas and the yummiest cake! I listen and hear her birth story.
Postnatal Care Package
We can discuss how best I can support you, which may vary from one visit to the next. Below is an example of the type of support I can offer:
15 hours pack: £210 (£14 p/h)
The pack is paid in one instalment and hours can be used as your wish over several days, weeks or months.
Visits are usually between 3 and 5 hours.
Please note that prices may vary, including travel costs depending on where you live.
If booked as your postnatal doula, I offer a 10% discount on a Postnatal Recovery Massage.
We can discuss how best I can support you, which may vary from one visit to the next. Below is an example of the type of support I can offer:
- Discuss and share your feelings on the birth
- Provide information, answer questions you or your partner may have and support your partner also at this time
- Help you in your transition to motherhood; the physiological and physical changes and navigating your new family dynamic
- If you are intending to breastfeed, it would be preferable for us to have a discussion about this before the birth of your baby, giving you information to prepare for breastfeeding. It would be good to then have our first visit or at least a chat over the phone, within the first three days after the birth when you and your baby are establishing a good latch and we can spot any potential challenges. This will enable me to ensure you get the right support early on
- Give you the opportunity and time for your own self care, whether it’s to sleep, take a shower, exercise, bake or whatever it is you like to do to relax, whilst I look after your baby
- Attend appointments with you
- Signpost further support or groups and help you to connect with your local mums network if you would like this
- Help with other children
- Practical help such as light housework, preparing meals, baking, day to day household maintenance and sorting out paperwork
- Grocery shopping or going on shopping trips with you and your baby
- Night time support can be arranged
