Looking for a pOSTNATAL DOULA?

Why would you need a postnatal doula?

Welcoming a new baby into your home is a time of great joy and magic, but it can also feel daunting and overwhelming, particularly if you do not have a wide support circle.

As a postnatal doula, I can help you to transition into this new chapter of your life, whether you are having your first baby or your fourth.

What does a Postnatal Doula like me actually do?

I offer bespoke support for new parents in Central and West London - no two families are the same, and everyone’s needs are unique. Here’s what I’m good at:

• Breastfeeding support. The first few weeks can be some of the toughest, but we can try some different positions and work on getting breastfeeding comfortable in a way that works for you.

• Baby wearing. Soft slings are a lifesaver but they can feel daunting! I’ll help you get confident with putting the sling on, and make sure your baby is safe when they’re in there.

• Newborn support. Having a brand new baby in the house can be a shock to the system especially if it’s your first! Let me help with anything that worries you. From the first bath, to checking nappy output, to tips for the witching hour. That’s what postnatal doulas are for!

• Support for you. We can chat through your birth. Mull over your expectations and how it’s been going so far. Probably shed a few tears. A problem shared is a problem halved.

• Nurturing for you. Maybe you just need half an hour in a hot Epsom salt filled bath. Or to get a kip in between your baby’s feeds. Or to take a walk with your partner and breathe some fresh air. Your baby will be safe and sound with me while you fill your cup.

• House help. I’m great at getting the laundry going, sprucing up the living room, refilling your caddy and getting the dishes done! Light housework to get you feeling calmer and more relaxed in your home.

• Some simple, nourishing meal preparation. Making sure you’re well fed and hydrated is a priority for me!
