Pregnancy, Birth & Postnatal Support
It takes a village to raise a child...
We were never meant to do this on our own.
If you are pregnant and would like to feel as prepared as possible for when life changes once your baby arrives, or if your baby is already here and you are feeling overwhelmed and in need of some help:
We are here for you.
We want to change the way people experience the transition to parenthood. Adapting to life with your baby really can be challenging. Your newest family member may be tiny (and the cutest thing you've ever seen) but they are also extremely demanding, time consuming, and sometimes exhausting. Facing this challenge on your own is a daunting task, but with the right support it can be a time overflowing with joy as you fall in love with your new baby.
The secret to feeling rested, nurtured, and content as you recover from birth?
Great Support
It might sound simple, but compassionate, patient and thoughtful help can be hard to find. Many parents are so focussed on preparing for the birth of their baby, that preparing for what comes next is often forgotten.
We offer a unique package of support to families that combines:
Nutrition
Eating well and finding time for nourishing and balanced meals is vital for your recovery, and feeling energised as you care for your baby. Following birth, your body will benefit from restoring your levels of iron, and including plenty of protein and fibre to aid healing. Home visits can involve preparing meals to enjoy later, restocking the fridge, making lunch, and giving you time to eat a proper meal without rushing.
Emotional support
There's a lot to process after giving birth, and reflecting on your experience can help to make sense of it all. With a new baby, and becoming a parent, things are changing all the time and it can be good to have someone to talk to. No judgement, no pushy advice, just your doula listening to you and respecting the magnitude of the changes that are happening.
Practical help
Hands-on assistance with your baby; we have never turned down the chance to cuddle a baby! You can count on us to take a turn, so that you gain time to shower, rest, eat, or do whatever makes you feel good. But if the most useful thing we can do to lighten the load is to hang up and fold laundry, entertain a sibling, or empty the dishwasher, your doula will gladly be your extra pair of hands.
​
Guidance
When you are looking for some advice, your doula will be there to help you navigate the unknowns of a newborn. Our goal is to unlock your parenting confidence and help you tune into your intuition.
We can share with you great sources of quality information, and local classes and services that can extend their expertise and help you to build your village, creating a network of ongoing support.
Whether you are currently pregnant, or have recently welcomed a new baby to your family, we would love to offer our help. Postnatal planning begins in pregnancy, so it's not too early to think about how to achieve the fourth trimester that you are hoping for.
