The Village Doula

05/12/2025

With my own children turning 18 and 16 this year I know only too well how fast those years go by.

Those early days and weeks of being new parents can be tough and a real rollercoaster of a ride!
Anxiety, worry, concern, happiness, joy and love - physically and emotionally it can be so overwhelming.

Preparation is key - planning for your postpartum really can make all the difference.

Postnatal planning is included in all of my birth support packages; I also offer stand alone postnatal planning sessions in your home or a doula ‘power hour’ via video call.

If you are in the midst of newborn life and are feeling overwhelmed, please reach out- family, friends, myself or other doulas - there is always someone that can help ease the load - even if it’s just a meal left on the doorstep!

If you would like to know more about the ways in which I can support you through pregnancy, birth or those early days and weeks get in touch I would love to chat with you.

A lovely review received from one of my summer clients 🤍
For various reasons this lovely family needed lots of support in advocating for their wishes- together with sheer grit and determination, trusting in her body, her baby and instinct and the fantastic unwavering support of her partner they welcomed their baby to the world in just the way they wanted.

Advocacy and navigating the maternity system is often a huge part of a doulas role, knowing your options and rights is invaluable.

If you would like to know more about a doula supported birth please do get in touch 🤍
