Postnatal
Doula
The first consultation/appointment is free - so we can discuss your needs and, allows you to ask any questions you
may have.
I offer emotional
and practical support to the new parents, in your home, following the birth of your baby.
Postnatal Doula services depend on the family and their
needs, which changes from day to day.
As a Postnatal Doula I do whatever a mother
needs to best enjoy and care for her new baby. A large part of this role is all about empowering your family to take care
of itself and I facilitate this by offering encouragement and suggestions as well as providing a supportive home environment
to enable you as a mother to develop your own mothering skills in a relaxed, stress-free manner.
I provide suggestions and help around infant
feeding, including breast feeding support, give you space to discuss any concerns and issues and I generally offer a source of information and companionship.
I may also help take care of older children, do some food shopping, cooking and occasional light housework, should it be required.
I am flexible and can fit in with you and your family’s needs.
As
I am a mother myself, I am unable to work nights – for postnatal work, although I am always at the end of a phone to
offer support.
I
am a non-smoker, fully insured and have a full clean UK
driving licence.
As
I am a Trainee Doula, I only charge £10 per hour. In addition to this I normally charge 40p per mile
for my travel expenses.
