Postnatal Doula Support
Gentle support for you, your baby and your new beginning
The early days and weeks with a new baby can be beautiful, overwhelming, exhausting and everything in between. You don't have to do it all alone. Postnatal doula care offers nurturing, practical and emotional support during the transition into life with your baby.
My role is to care for you, while you get to know and care for your baby. Whether you need a helping hand, someone to listen, practical support around the home, or simply reassurance that you're doing okay, I'm here to support you without judgement.
What postnatal doula support can look like
Every family is different, so your support is tailored around what you need on the day.
Support may include:
-
Emotional and practical support after birth
-
Helping you rest, eat and stay hydrated
-
Newborn care and reassurance
-
Feeding support and signposting, whether you're breastfeeding, bottle feeding or combination feeding
-
Supporting you as you learn your baby's cues and rhythms
-
Light household tasks to help make your day easier
-
Preparing simple nourishing meals and snacks
-
Helping you feel more confident in your parenting choices
-
Creating space for you to talk, process and be heard
-
Support with establishing gentle routines
-
Practical preparation for your recovery and wellbeing
-
Support for partners and the wider family
-
Signposting to appropriate healthcare and specialist services when needed
A safe space to find your feet
There can be so much pressure to know what you're doing straight away. But becoming a parent is a huge transition. It's okay to need support. It's okay to ask questions. And it's okay if things don't look the way you imagined.
Postnatal doula care provides a calm, reassuring presence while you find your own way. There is no judgement, no expectations and no one-size-fits-all approach. You and your baby are at the heart of everything we do.
Supporting the whole family
A well-supported parent is better able to rest, recover and respond to their baby's needs. Sometimes the most valuable support isn't another person telling you what to do — it's having someone alongside you who listens, reassures and helps you find what works for your family. Your partner can also benefit from having someone to turn to, particularly during those early days when everyone is learning together.
You don't need to wait until you're struggling
Postnatal support isn't only for when things become difficult. Having support in place before your baby arrives can give you peace of mind and create a stronger foundation for those first precious weeks. Whether you're planning ahead or have already welcomed your baby, you're welcome.
Your postnatal journey is your own
There is no perfect way to recover from birth, feed a baby, establish routines or become a parent.
My role is to meet you where you are, listen to what you need and provide practical and emotional support that helps you feel held, supported and more confident.

30 hours of one to one support over 6 weeks - £1250
40 hours of one to one support over 8 weeks - £1600
60 hours of one to one support over 12 weeks - £2300
Overnight Doula Support
Rest, reassurance and gentle support through the night
Those early nights with a newborn can feel long and exhausting. Overnight doula support gives you the opportunity to rest while having a calm, experienced presence alongside you.
I can support with newborn care, settling, feeding support, nappy changes and keeping baby close by while you get some much-needed sleep.
Whether you need occasional overnight help or regular support, the aim is simple: to help you feel rested, reassured and supported as you navigate life with your new baby. Gentle support for you. Loving care for your baby.
9 hours of one to one support from 21:00pm - 6:00am - £360
