Postnatal Support

I offer postnatal doula support which can come in a variety of ways from supporting you with basic newborn support like supporting you to bath the baby for the first time to undertaking light household tasks and most importantly being there for you after birth to talk to and listen. I can provide signposting to other support you made need or simply hold the baby so you can take a shower.

Everyones postnatal period is unique and what you may need or want from me will differ for each individual.

What can I offer?

As your postnatal doula I want to support you to become the best parent you can, this can come in a variety of different ways:

Emotional support: I am there to listen, talk or debrief and be a nonjudgmental ear for you to talk to. I can signpost you to the right services, products or support networks you may need and just be someone to hold your hand and listen in those first few weeks and months.

Physical support: After giving birth it may be that you need some physical support around the house, that can be baby wearing for you so you can go and have a nap or a bath or just take ten minutes outside for yourself, make you nourishing snacks for the day ahead to helping fold and put away all the laundry tiny babies can make!

Adjustment support: Adjusting to life with a new baby can be a minefield, no matter if it's your first or fifth baby adjusting to having a new life in your home takes time. I can support you with looking at baby wearing, feeding, sleeping and looking at yourself and what support you may need both physically and mentally to adjust to this new life phase.
