Mother of Three

I would love to meet up for a free, no obligation chat and cuppa. Then we can see if my support will be a good fit for you and your bubs. We can meet as early as you'd like in your pregnancy - this is your journey.

​

  • cared for 

  • listened to

  • understood

  • empowered

  • valued

  • less alone

  • that you can be honest without judgement

  • you will trust yourself more

 

​​As your Doula, you receive all of my services when I visit your home with your very own:

​~ doula,

~ matrescence coach and 

~ early childhood educator.

I am happy to help you in any way that assists you the most during my visit each time. ​

Package One:

Package ONE
Pregnancy, Birth and 8 Weeks of Postnatal Care
+
 monthly visits up to 12 months.

NO OBLIGATION MEET UP: 

  • I'd love to meet so you can ask questions and we can have a chat about how you'd like your labour and birth to feel and how I can support that. 

  • Get to know me to see if you think I would be a good fit as your very own doula. 

  • This is one of the most important times of your life, so feel free to ask as much as you need (approx one hour). 

​

PRENATAL: 

  • We will meet regularly in the third trimester to chat about your birth plans and preferences, comfort techniques we can use, tips for your birthing partner and birth education. I can also attend appointments with you if you would like. The number of visits throughout your pregnancy is discussed with individual families to make sure you are feeling comfortable and your needs are met.

  • 24 hour on-call care throughout your pregnancy, calls, messages and emails welcome.     

​

LABOUR & BIRTH: 

  • By your side from your labour starting, throughout your entire birth and the first hour or two after. You will continue to feel supported while you get comfortable and establish feeding your bubs. 

  • We will chat about all your options of what can be offered and utilised during your labour / birth at your prenatal visits. 

  • Assisting and offering reassurance to your birthing partner and guidance of how they can assist you at each stage of your labour and birth.   

  • I am also happy to take a few photos (I am not a professional photographer) if you would like, we can discuss this at your prenatal visits. You may also have chosen to have a birth photographer.

​

POSTPARTUM CARE: 

  • 1-2 home visits in the first week (your choice of one or two), followed by weekly visits until bubs is eight weeks old. 

  • Throughout these home visits I am there to help you feel supported, heard and also empowered.

  • This may be with feeding, bathing bubs, learning some baby massage techniques, mental health conversations, chatting about vaginal or caesarean healing, tips for your partner that can be helpful for you both, light house duties like helping with dishes, washing, meal prep or interacting with the siblings to give you some time with bubs. 

  • If you have other children, we will look at ways to help the sibling/s be included and offer ways they can help out. This will help their transition to being a big sister / brother be positive and will help you ease into daily life with bubs and siblings more smoothly. 

  • You may want to take a shower, eat a full meal or have a nap. You will feel nurtured and respected while I am in your home. 

​

DEBRIEFING YOUR LABOUR & BABY'S BIRTH: 

  • We will also debrief your birth experience so you have a chance to process your labour and birth while you have emotional support as needed. You can feel safe and cared for knowing I am there to help you and your baby, I am part of your village. 

  • You can also organise me to be there when the health nurse visits for the extra set of ears. 

  • All home visits will be at least 2 hours.
