Everyone deserves postnatal support.

Support in the weeks after birth makes a real difference. Research on continuous doula care across birth and the early postpartum period has shown links with more positive feelings about their early parenting experience and a higher likelihood of establishing and continuing breastfeeding.

​

I provide calm, flexible, non‑judgmental support, guided by what you need in the moment.

 

How a visit looks can really vary depending on your family's needs and how you're feeling on the day. But to help build a picture of what to expect, here are some things that will likely come up during a postnatal visit from me: 

​​​​​​

• Baby feeding support and encouragement - Breastfeeding or bottle

       I am a NHS trained breastfeeding peer supporter ​

• Baby care support gentle guidance and reassurance with everyday care

• Caring for your baby so you can rest, shower, or eat

• Emotional support and reassurance time to chat through how you are feeling 

• Confidence building and encouragement as you adjust to life with a new baby

• Preparing nutritious, tasty meals to support your recovery

• Light household tasks, such as washing up, vacuuming, or putting a load of laundry on

• Sibling care where needed

• Sharing information about local baby groups and support networks

• Providing evidence-based information to support informed decision-making when needed

• Signposting to relevant services or specialists, and sharing resources where requested
