My Services
Birth Doula
In order to see if I’m the right fit to support you through pregnancy and childbirth, the first step is arranging a call to talk through your needs.
My services would provide two Antenatal Sessions which include detailed birth planning, and getting to know you. Depending on your arrangements, I will endeavour to be at either your home or hospital birth.
To support you, I will be available on call 24/7 two weeks before and two weeks after your estimated due date. Additionally, you can contact me via message support throughout your pregnancy and two weeks postpartum.
My services also include two Postnatal sessions which aim to provide flexible support, assisting with areas such as breastfeeding support and baby care.
Postnatal Doula Support
When I first became a mum, I soon realised a reality of what having a baby with colic meant to my mental health. The challenges of being sleep deprived and trying to look after myself and baby was far too much. I was fortunate to have nearby parents along with supporting neighbours to lend some supporting arms.
Now with my children grown up and now supporting my new grandson, I would like to offer my support to other mums who would love a “Wingmum” to assist with any requirements they may have.
These could include: cuddling baby whilst mum rests or has sibling time, help with going out/appointments, prepping a meal as well as any basic household duties.
Night Support
It is important that you are feeling rested following the birth of your baby, as good sleep can help you both mentally and physically.
I can provide you with night support by caring for your baby while you sleep, helping with the feeding, changing and settling of your baby during the night hours.
There are many reasons for parents wanting and needing night support, so please don’t hesitate to get in contact so we can discuss your needs.
Pre / Post Natal Massage
In 2007 I qualified as a Sports Massage Therapist with London School of Sports Massage (LSSM) and worked from my home along with being a match day rugby physio.
After moving to West Sussex in 2010, I was unable to work from home so continued training to add on Pregnancy and Post Natal Massage in 2013 with Burrell Education. After a couple of years, I decided to take a break to focus on other work opportunities. Now qualifying as a Doula, I am extremely excited to be able to add this type of massage to my services.
Anti Natal Massages can be carried out after 12 weeks pregnancy and anytime after birth.
Massages will be tailored to suit your requirements and will be carried out on a fully supported massage bed with cushions and pillows.
Upon request, I can provide a massage during the early stages of labour, to help you with any pains and tension as well as to get your oxytocin flowing.
