Postnatal & Night Doula
​
The early weeks after birth can be overwhelming. As your postnatal doula my role is to "mother the mother". I will be there to offer support, companionship, and assist with newborn care. I am there to take away some of the day to day pressures allowing you to bond with your new baby.
​
Support might include (these will vary depending on the needs of the family):
-
Support with feeding, bath time, nappy changes, calming baby
-
Light housework, meal preparation, shopping, errands
-
Signposting local groups and services
​
My aim as a postnatal doula is to build your confidence as you navigate the first few months as a parent and facilitate a smooth transition. I will be there as a friend to sit with you and listen.
​
My standard ad hoc rate starts from £35 per hour, depending on your requirements.
For a minimum of three hours at a time
Overnight services
As a night doula I look after your baby whilst you get some rest.
Each overnight plan is tailored to meet the needs of the family.
Support from 10pm until 6am
