These visits are for us to get to know each other, and to chat and discuss your labour and birth. Here is what we typically cover…

Session 1:

• The mind & body connection

• What is hypnobirthing and how does it relate to your birth

• Understanding your nervous system and working with your hormones

• Realising and releasing any anxiety held around birth

• Learning to trust your body and your baby

• Writing and creating personal affirmations

Session 2:

• The role of your birth partner

• Reviewing your options and preferences for birth

• Choosing the right birth environment for you

• Working on confidence and communication with your birth team

• Preparing for the unknown and the unexpected in the best way

Each visit is typically around 2.5 hours

This session is for you and your birth partner to learn and practice techniques that will support you through your labour and birth. You’ll learn the significance of the connection of your body and mind and how you can nurture this throughout your pregnancy to support your labour and birth.

We explore

• Movement, breath and sound

• Rebozo and massage techniques

• Hurdles you may encounter and ways to overcome them

• How movement, positioning and listening in can really change your experience of labour and birth

• Your birth partner’s role in your journey, how to support and advocate for you, and the power of your connection

This session is around 2 hours.

I will be on call for you 10 days before your estimated due date, until your baby’s arrival.

My phone is on, my bag is packed, and I am there for you when you need me.

During your labour I can come to your home or the hospital. I will stay with you until your baby is born, and usually for a couple of hours afterwards.

These visits are to support you through your recovery after birth. As a traditional postpartum doula and yoga teacher, my offerings are wide and very dependent on your needs. The aim is to ensure you feel feel held, supported and looked after through offerings including:

Nourishing teas and herbs

Abdominal and foot massage using specific oils

Belly wrapping

Recipes for nourishing postpartum meals and snacks

Birth debrief 

Education on your physical experiences and ways to support your recovery

Techniques to support your pelvic floor, abdominal separation and breathing 

And perhaps most importantly, a space where you are listened to and heard.

Each visit is around 90 minutes
