Postnatal Services
As your postnatal doula I will offer practical and emotional support to help you find your own way during the days, weeks and months following the birth of your baby. Here are some examples of how I might be able to support you:
- An initial free consultation
- Being present to listen and offer a completely non-judgmental ear
- Providing practical support in the home, so that you can rest with your baby and get to know one another as a family
- Feeding support. As a breastfeeding counsellor I will be there with my skills and knowledge to support through your feeding journey
- Take care of your baby so that you can rest
- Support you and your partner in getting to know your baby and understand normal newborn behaviour
- Signposting you to fantastic evidence based resources that will enable you to make informed choices and navigate the information out there for new parents
- Attend appointments with you, if you wish
- Taking care of visitors in any way that is helpful
- Complete light housework tasks
- Meal preparation. As a veggie, I am happy to cook meat dinners for you, but won’t be able to check for seasoning
- Unlimited text and email support
Hourly rate: £30
