Birth Doula Support
If you want to understand your options, trust your instincts, and make choices that feel right for you and your baby...
If you want to feel calm, confident and deeply supported throughout your pregnancy and birth...
If you want to look back on your birth knowing you felt heard, respected and empowered...
This is exactly the kind of support I offer.
I provide birth doula support across Norfolk and parts of Suffolk, supporting births at home, in birth centres and in hospital.
However your birth unfolds, whatever your circumstances, I'll be there to support you every step of the way.
Birth Package
Designed to support and nurture you through every stage of pregnancy and birth, helping you feel empowered, confident, and deeply connected to your own strength and intuition.
Every family's journey is unique, but here's how our time together typically unfolds:
- Initial connection meeting
- 3 antenatal sessions (2 hours per session)
- Virtual support throughout your pregnancy
- Monthly cuppa catch-ups
- 24/7 on-call support from 38 weeks
- Attendance during your labour and birth
- 1 postnatal session (3 hours)
Once you've hired me as your birth doula, we'll arrange an initial connection meeting. We will meet in person to start building a trusting relationship and begin shaping your personalised support.
In your three antenatal sessions, I will visit you at home. We will talk through your hopes for birth, any concerns you may have and explore your birth rights and choices. We will build your confidence by exploring different birth scenarios, writing your birth preferences, practising comfort techniques and planning for your postpartum. I can also incorporate gentle pregnancy massage and comfort touch techniques to help you feel more relaxed and connected to your body as your pregnancy progresses. Every session we have is tailored to you, reflecting your unique birth journey. These sessions are also a wonderful opportunity for your birth partner (if you have one) to feel informed, involved, and confident about their role in supporting you during labour and beyond.
Between visits, I am also available for virtual support via messages and voice-notes.
Throughout your pregnancy, we'll also stay connected with relaxed monthly cuppa catch-ups or gentle walks. These informal check-ins give us space to chat about how you're feeling, answer any questions that have come up and help you feel consistently supported between our antenatal sessions.
From 38 weeks of your pregnancy, I will be on-call for you. This means I am available day and night, ready to answers your questions and be there when labour begins. When you are ready, I will join you in whichever setting your journey takes you, to provide continuous in-person support throughout your labour and birth.
After your baby arrives, you have one postnatal session (normally at your home) included in your birth package. This session includes practical help around the house, emotional reassurance and support with newborn feeding. We will gently reflect on your birth and celebrate your journey.
