Postpartum
Doula Services
The first weeks postpartum are filled with wonder and recovery, which can be both magical and extremely challenging for new families. My goal as your postpartum doula is to nurture you and your family gently and confidently into parenthood.
Getting to know you!
Discussing your expectations as well as any fears or concerns you may have about your pregnancy, upcoming birth or postpartum is an important part of this dynamic service. I can provide individualised, evidence-based information tailored to your needs to balance with your intuition for making empowering and informed decisions. You will save time and energy navigating the birth and early parenting world through my network and skills in a range of complimentary therapies such as massage, yoga nidra, self-hypnosis, Spinning Babies and infant care.
Every journey is unique, every parent is unique and every baby is unique. You deserve to feel nurtured, confident and strong!

*Covid-19 restrictions have made it challenging for doulas, friends and family to provide continuous support. To reflect this my services are even more flexible, allowing for quick changes in accordance to official health guidelines as well as virtual assistance when needed.
I was so fortunate and grateful to be able to have my doula for a month following my daughters birth. She helped so much in my postpartum that I was able to focus on transitioning mentally and physically to becoming a new mom again. Breastfeeding was easier and I felt reassured and confident attending to my newborn's needs.
