Services & Pricing

1. The Birth Package

My most comprehensive service - complete support from pregnancy through birth to your first weeks as a new family.

Before Birth - Building Trust & Preparation

We'll meet three times before your due date. These sessions allow us to:

• Build a strong, trusting relationship
• Understand your hopes, fears, and expectations for birth
• Learn your birth preferences and create your birth plan
• Practice relaxation and breathing techniques
• Discuss your partner's role and how to work as a team
• Address any questions or concerns you have

Between meetings, I'm available 24/7 by phone, text, or email for any questions or worries. I'm on call for you two weeks before and two weeks after your due date, ready to join you within 60 minutes of your call when labour begins.

During Labour - Continuous Support

When you contact me that labour has started, I'll be with you as soon as possible. I will:

• Stay with you throughout your entire labour, regardless of duration
• Provide continuous physical, emotional, and informational support
• Help create a calm, safe, and nurturing environment
• Use comfort measures like massage, positioning, breathing techniques
• Encourage and support your birth partner to participate meaningfully
• Advocate for your wishes and help you communicate with medical staff
• Remain with you until after birth to ensure you're settled with your baby

Whether you're birthing at home, in a birthing centre, or in hospital, I adapt my support to your environment and needs.

After Birth - Postnatal Care

After your baby arrives, I make two postnatal visits to:

• Debrief your birth experience and process your emotions
• Provide practical support with baby care
• Offer breastfeeding support and encouragement
• Be a listening ear during this life-changing transition
• Take photographs of you and your new baby (if you wish)
• Prepare a placenta smoothie (if requested)

2. Birth Pool Hire

If you're planning a home water birth, I can provide a professional inflatable birth pool. Water birth can provide excellent pain relief and is a gentle way for your baby to enter the world.

The birth pool is clean, safe, and specifically designed for labour and birth. It's easy to set up and provides a comfortable, spacious environment for you to labour in water.

Note: Birth pool hire can be combined with the Birth Package for comprehensive home birth support.

3. One-to-One Birth Preparation Sessions

Perhaps you don't want a doula present at your birth, but would still like professional, personalised birth preparation in the comfort of your own home. These sessions are perfect for couples who:

• Couldn't attend antenatal classes due to scheduling
• Want more personalised attention than group classes provide
• Are planning a second baby and want to debrief a previous birth
• Feel anxious and want extra support and information
• Have specific questions or concerns about their upcoming birth

As an experienced mother and specially trained birth supporter, I tailor these sessions entirely to your needs. We can cover any combination of the following topics:

4. Postnatal Emotional Support

Are you experiencing distressing feelings or unwanted emotions following a difficult pregnancy, traumatic birth, or challenging postnatal period? You don't have to struggle alone—I can help.

Through gentle, guided sessions in a safe and supportive environment, I'll help you:

• Process difficult emotions from your birth experience
• Develop tools to manage intrusive thoughts
• Replace negative emotions with positive perspectives
• Heal from birth trauma at your own pace
• Build confidence in your parenting journey

The goal is to catch difficult feelings early and provide you with practical strategies to move forward with hope and positivity about your future as a parent.

Format: Sessions can be conducted in-person or remotely via Zoom, whichever feels most comfortable for you.

Special offer: £50 if purchased alongside the Birth Package (discounted rate of £125)
