Postnatal Doula Support

The early days of parenthood can be joyful, overwhelming and everything in between. As your postnatal doula, I provide calm, practical and emotional postnatal doula support to help you rest, recover and grow in confidence. Whether you need time to sleep, help with feeding, someone to listen over a cup of tea or simply someone to hold your baby, I'm here for you.

Every family is different, so I tailor my support to your individual needs.

Depending on what's most helpful, I can support you with:

  • Light housework

  • Caring for older children

  • Dog walking

  • Shopping

  • Preparing simple meals

  • Making sure you have time to sleep, shower or simply take care of yourself

  • Listening as you process your birth experience, without judgment

  • Giving you time to with your other children

  • Supporting feeding and connecting you with trusted local services when needed

Some families need just a few visits, while others appreciate ongoing support over several weeks. I'll work alongside you for as long as you need, offering reassurance, practical help and encouragement as your confidence grows and you learn to trust your own instincts.

  • Postnatal support is £40 per hour, with a minimum booking of three hours. Many families choose regular visits during the first four to six weeks, but every family is different and I'm always happy to tailor support to your needs.
