Postnatal Doula Support
Welcoming a baby into your family is a life-changing experience. Whether you’re a first-time parent or growing your family, the early days and weeks with a newborn can feel both joyful and overwhelming. As your Postnatal Doula, I provide compassionate, personalised support to help you navigate this precious time with confidence and ease.
My role is to “mother the mother”, offering nurturing emotional, practical and informational support. From providing reassurance to helping you feel physically and emotionally well, I’ll be by your side as you adjust to life with your baby. My goal is simple, to make your transition into parenthood smoother, leaving you feeling empowered, supported and cared for so you can thrive with your newborn.
What Postnatal Doula Support Can Look Like:
Every family’s needs are unique and my Postnatal Doula Support is tailored to provide the nurturing care that works best for you. Whether you need emotional reassurance, practical assistance or support with newborn care, I’m here to help.
This list isn’t exhaustive, during our sessions we can focus on what matters most to you. Together, we’ll create a personalised support plan to help you feel confident, calm and cared for in your postpartum journey.
​
Birth Experience Debriefing: I offer you a safe space to reflect on your birth experience. I’ll listen, validate your feelings and help you process your experience, supporting emotional healing.
​
Emotional Support: Providing reassurance, encouragement and compassionate care during the vulnerable early weeks. I’m here to support you and your partner (if you have one) as you navigate the joys and challenges of new parenthood.
​
Newborn Care Support: Practical guidance and emotional support around newborn care including understanding your baby’s cues, sleep patterns and behaviour. I also offer encouragement and assistance with feeding choices, whether breastfeeding / nursing, bottle feeding or a combination.
Practical Help: Preparing light meals, snacks and drinks to nourish your body as you recover. I also offer assistance with light household tasks such as tidying, laundry and ironing, giving you more time to rest and bond with your baby.
​
Rest and Recharge: I can care for your baby while you enjoy a well-deserved nap, take a relaxing bath or simply have some time for yourself.
​
Sibling Support: Offering gentle care for older siblings, giving you one-on-one time with your baby, or vice versa, while ensuring your other children feel supported and included.
​
Signposting to Trusted Resources: Providing access to evidence-based information on feeding, sleep, baby care and postpartum recovery. Connecting you with local professionals and support networks, including breastfeeding counsellors, mental health services, baby massage classes and parent and baby groups.
