A postpartum doula is much more than a nanny, housekeeper or cook (but yes, I do all that too!)

I am here to help you recover from your pregnancy and birth in practical ways such as caring for baby, tidying up and making you delicious snacks and meals. I am also here with you to listen to your thoughts and feelings during this incredible time and provide you with information so that you can make choices right for you. I am here to validate your concerns and worries.

I am with you without judgement, with you without agenda or bias and with you for you.

When I join your support team, we will meet during your pregnancy to plan your postpartum desires. We chat through what to expect and start you thinking about what support you may want (and if you don’t know, we plan what this could look like too!). I offer the families I work with bespoke doula support for their needs on the day I visit.  The needs, preferences, and circumstances of the women I support are as unique as the women and babies themselves. I tailor my support so that you can have the most restful, rejuvenating and empowered postpartum possible.

I will visit you in your home and provide support to you so that you can get the rest and support you deserve and need. A supported Mum is a Mum who can fill her own cup before pouring to others.

Examples of the supports I offer you are on my offerings page.

When I explain to people what I do for my paid work I often hear:

"Oh so a doula is for a first-time mum who doesn't have family?"

The short answer I have learned to reply is: I am for everyone.

First time Mums, fourth time Mums. Home-birth Mums, hospital birth Mums. Ex-pat Mums, Mums with extended family living around the corner. Mums with a strong desire of what they would like in their pregnancy and postpartum and Mums who are less certain. Mums expecting one baby, and Mums expecting multiples. I can go on and on… I hope you get the picture!

I am here to support everyone.

Would you believe me if I told you that most of my clients have experienced postpartum before? These women most often come to me because they had such difficult experiences navigating this journey alone their first or previous times and now know the power that doula support can offer them.

I hear time and time again from my clients, ‘I wish I had you for my first postpartum!’.

The hormone shifts, the physical recovery from growing and birthing your baby, the exhaustion and the around the clock feeding cycle for your little one is really challenging. Don’t worry; I know you are grateful to have your baby; I know you would do anything for your little one; I know you wouldn’t change it for the world, but I also know as amazing and soul filling as this time is, it is also hard.

A lighthouse illuminates the space, it does not control the sea, it does not steer the ship.

Contact me today to get the support to help you get the rest you need, the information to help you be confident in your decisions, the listening ear to help calm your racing mind and genuine care for you and getting your needs met.
