Antenatal

After our free introductory call, I will meet with you between your 24 and 37 week of pregnancy. We will have at least 2 antenatal sessions, during these meetings we will know each other and confirm that I’m the best fit for you. I believe that knowledge is power, so we will discuss physiology of birth and postpartum, methods of pain relief, maternity system and types of intervention. We will discuss how I can help you to achieve the type of childbirth that you are looking for. I can help you to prepare a birth plan, or to be with you for antenatal appointments if you would like to. I will be available for any questions you have. If you have any medical questions I can signpost you in the right direction. I can also offer reiki healing and meditation scripts. I will be available over the phone, by email or text in between our meetings.​

LABOUR​

I can support you during labour, it doesn't matter if you choose a homebirth, a midwife-led unit or a labour ward. I’ll be on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from 38 weeks gestation until your baby is born. I will support you during the birth as you and your partner indicate. I’ll stay with you until your baby’s first feed is initiated. I will meet you again in the first weeks during postpartum, to discuss the birth experience and answer any questions if you have some.

AS a doula I do not

• Perform any clinical task. My role is to support you and your partner in an emotional and practical way. The role of the doula is non-medical.

• Make decitions for you. I will support you in every decision you make and we can walk together on this journey but I will never make decisions on your behalf.

• Project any of my personal experiences onto your journey. This is YOUR moment , your baby, your choices and your own and unique experience.
