Services

I offer both a birth and post-natal service.


Birth support

As it’s important for us to get to know each other we will meet twice prior to your delivery date. These ante-natal meetings are important for us to explore your pregnancy and hopes for labour. I can help you to prepare a birth plan, giving you the information you need to make your own choices. We can discuss any fears you have of labour, especially if you have experienced a difficult labour previously. I will explain my supporting role and what you can expect of me ‘on the night’. It’s helpful if your partner of husband can be present at these meetings as their role is of crucial importance. Although we will only aim to meet twice, you will be able to contact me with any questions or concerns by telephone or email.
When your labour starts you can call me when needed and I will be present throughout. I can join you at the hospital or at your home.
My aim is to enable you and your partner to have a positive birthing experience.
After the birth of their child women can sometimes feel they have a great need to discuss what’s happened to them only to find that no-one will truly listen. As part of my birth doula package I can meet with you and your partner once after the birth, giving you the opportunity to tell your story.

Currently, I am only able to offer a limited post-natal Service. Please contact me for further information.
