Post Partum
Doula Support
Here from day 1
to help you navigate the tender early days with your newborn baby.
My intention as your Postpartum Doula is to help create the conditions for you and your baby to thrive, and ensure you always feel supported and nourished - from preparing homecooked meals and supporting your nervous system to rest and recover, to offering evidence-based information and holistic support to strengthen the mother/parent-baby dyad.

A blend of practical, emotional, and holistic support tailored to your needs, that may include:

Types of support
First 40 days Package
A gently structured 6-week container created to hold you through the tender, transformative early postpartum period. This package offers high-touch support at the start, gradually easing as your confidence and energy grow. You’ll receive up to 60 hours of 1:1 support, scheduled to meet your needs throughout the first six weeks, including all of the care outlined above.
I do also provide ad-hoc support for babies up to 3 months old, minimum 3 hours.
