Sacred Birth Doula
There is a doula for everyone. I work deeply to enable you to release fears, touch base with your inner self connecting deeply with you, your baby and your journey. My aim is to be there for you through your journey to motherhood, we will have an opportunity to discuss YOUR birth preference and your expectations.
My service includes the following:
- An initial meeting (free of charge) to get to know you (I prefer face to face and not video call or skype), as this allow for us to attune our energies to see if we are a good fit for each other
- At least 2 antenatal visits to discuss previous births, covering birth and labour essentials and planning for the immediate postpartum and honouring your placenta.

Sacred Postnatal doula
As your postnatal Doula my aim is to support you 100% in order to build your confidence in your new role providing you with the knowledge of postnatal recovery from an Ayurvedic perspective through healing foods, tonics and sacred mother warming practices, We can discuss the length of support required when we have our initial meeting.
It is my job to primarily to provide support and reassurance to you, whilst you look after and get to know your new baby. If you just require postnatal doula support, my service includes an initial meeting to understand what your needs are in the postnatal period and to get to know you
I provide support for a minimum of 3-4 hours, the hours are really guided by your needs. I support a family for the first 6-8 weeks, usually longer with twins, with my hours reducing towards the end of this period, where I hope you will be able to confidently cope without the support of a doula.
Fees: Please contact me (mileage will be charge if out of my home area).
