💚 Being a Holistic Doula 💚

☀️Supporting families through pregnancy and birth as they tread that winding path with its twists and turns, moments of elation and sometimes deep challenges is an absolute privilege. Each family I have supported on my journey as a birth doula and holistic birthkeeper has been a joy and unique in their own ways.

💚 To hear the kind words of how this support resonated with parents is just the icing on the cake. As doula's and birthkeepers we aren't usually in it for the praise but it certainly feels wonderful to hear the impact holistic support and continuity of care can make for families navigating pregnancy and birth.

☀️ If you're interested in working with a doula drop me a message and let's chat.

☀️ 3 Step Rewind ☀️

🌱 A form of neuro linguistic programming that uses deep guided relaxation to help clients release unwanted emotional or physical responses to past memories and traumatic experiences. I trained in offering this process when looking for a way to help my doula and breastfeeding clients to have tools to move forward from a previous birth or breastfeeding trauma or negative experience.

☀️ Offered via video call or in person in Deal, Kent

🌱 £100 for the full 3 sessions - payment plans available

☀️ Every 8 weeks I will also be offering one 'Pay What You Can' space. If you'd like enquire just drop me a DM

Are you wondering if a hypnobirthing course is just a load of scented candles, whale music and woo-woo? 🕯🐋👀

⭐️My course covers a wide range of topics, based on the foundations of physiological birth and including other options you may be offered or come across on your journey.

⭐️As a doula and birthkeeper that's passionate about physiological birth, this is the foundation of the two day course, but I also come with no agenda or judgement as it is YOUR BIRTH and YOUR DECISIONS to make.

💜 Hypnobirthing and the power of the brain in the birth space is something we explore. It is one potential tool to help manage anxiety and pain during pregnancy and birth but there are no rigid rules as to how you must use this.

🤯 Still feeling a little unsure and have any questions - my DMs are always open.

💙Next course 22/23 Nov
📍St. Margarets-at-cliffe - 9.15am - 1pm
☀️ £120/£150/£180 self directed sliding scale

C L U S T E R F E E D I N G 🤱🏽

⭐️ What is it?
Usually when talking about cluster feeding we are describing a period of time (often a good few hours) where a baby will want to feed frequently at the breast. It often happens in the evening. Gaps between feeds are much shorter than average and the baby may root frequently to be put back to the breast.

⭐️ Why is it happening?
Healthy, well babies are excellent at knowing their own hunger cues and nutritional needs. Going back to the breast frequently when the breast is emptier helps keep prolactin levels high and stimulates your milk supply. Milk during this period may also be more fatty - but again we don't really need to worry about this if our baby is growing well - they've got it under control.

⭐️ What it doesn't mean
Cluster feeding for a period of the day does not mean your milk has run out, or your supply is too low, or you can't satisfy your baby.

TIPS
💜 resource yourself up - who can you ask for help to do any other tasks at that time of day such as helping with older children or making you dinner
💜 get some easy quick meals in that you can eat one handed
💜 set up a snack station and make sure you've got a drink to hand at all times
💜 know that it's temporary and as your baby gets older cluster feeding will ease

If you feel your baby is frequently feeding constantly all round the clock please do reach out for specialist breastfeeding support from either myself or another IBCLC or Breastfeeding Counsellor.

💙A birth pool is one of a number of tools my clients have access to for their labour and birth.
🩵Like with any tool, it's about feeling into what's right for you and having options there for using your instinct in the moment.

💙If you're interested in doula support through your labour and birth, I have some limited availability for September/October/November and full availability for December/January/February.
