Postnatal Doula Support that Fully Supports You

Imagine the early hours, days and weeks with your brand new baby. You’re leaking from most places and your body feels tender and bruised from birth.

Imagine having a rough night with baby, you’ve been up most of the night, you're trying to establish feeding, you’re knackered and all you want to do is sleep. 

​

Then in walks me, your postnatal doula. I greet you with a warm smile and an understanding of “I’ve been there, I’ve got you”. I make you a brew and give you time and space to offload on recent events, worries, frustrations, and also reflect on the micro wins (they’re there, I promise!)

I ask you "what's going to make you feel good today?" and you tell me your priorities for the time we have together; cleaning (yourself, your house or the seemingly endless laundry), infant feeding support, sleeping, eating, spending 30 consecutive minutes without your baby surgically attached to you, or spending some quality time with any older children - helping lessen that feeling of guilt mum's often (unnecessarily) carry.

Then off you go to serve your needs, knowing your baby is looked after and safe. They might be sleeping in the sling, or in my arms, but what’s most important is you have time to rest and nourish your needs. 

While you rest, and serve your needs, magic happens, things get tidied, put away, hung up and folded. 

Allowing you to return felling refreshed, less overwhelmed and more able to breathe. You might feel more confident with feeding your baby, understanding what is normal, and what might need a bit of extra support.

That’s my aim, because yes baby snuggles are lovely, but really, I’m here to hold you, metaphorically and physically, through this wild ride of life with a newborn. 

​

Sound dreamy? It can be, let’s chat about making your postnatal reality just a little bit easier. 

I’m here, ready to support you, when you’re ready to receive it.

​

Every family’s needs are unique and my Postnatal Doula Support is tailored to provide the nurturing care that works best for you. Whether you need emotional reassurance, practical assistance or support with newborn care, I’m here to help.

This list isn’t exhaustive, during our sessions we can focus on what matters most to you. Together, we’ll create a personalised support plan to help you feel confident, calm and cared for in your postpartum journey.

​

Birth Experience Debriefing: I offer you a safe space to reflect on your birth experience. I’ll listen, validate your feelings and help you process your experience, supporting emotional healing.

​

Emotional Support: Providing reassurance, encouragement and compassionate care during the vulnerable early weeks. I’m here to support you and your partner (if you have one) as you navigate the joys and challenges of new parenthood.

​

Newborn Care and Feeding Support: Practical guidance and emotional support around newborn care including understanding your baby’s cues, sleep patterns and behaviour. I also offer encouragement and assistance with feeding choices, whether breastfeeding / nursing, bottle feeding or a combination.

Practical Help: Preparing light meals, snacks and drinks to nourish your body as you recover. I also offer assistance with light household tasks such as tidying, laundry and ironing, giving you more time to rest and bond with your baby.

​

Rest and Recharge: I can care for your baby while you enjoy a well-deserved nap, take a relaxing bath or simply have some time for yourself.

​

Sibling Support: Offering gentle care for older siblings, giving you one-on-one time with your baby, or vice versa, ensuring your other children feel supported and included.

​

Signposting to Trusted Resources: Providing access to evidence-based information on feeding, sleep, baby care and postpartum recovery.
