Postnatal Support
Why Postnatal Support Matters?
​​
Welcoming a baby is a magical and transformative experience, but the early weeks can also be filled with unexpected challenges.
A postnatal doula is like a fairy godmother - nurturing your family, offering guidance, and helping you transition softly into parenthood.​
​​

Postnatal Support In Your Home (London)
As your postnatal doula, my focus is on helping you recover, recharge, and settle into your new life with confidence. I will assist you in defining what works best for your family, strengthening your parenting skills, and providing practical, hands-on support.
​
How I can support you:
​
-
Emotional support: a compassionate, non-judgmental presence, giving you space to debrief your birth experience and navigate your emotions.
-
Newborn care guidance: support with bathing, nappy changes, soothing, and babywearing.
​​
-
Feeding support: exploring feeding options, understanding feeding cues and positions, and addressing any challenges.
​​
-
Responsive routines: learning to read your baby’s cues and understanding their natural needs and development.
​​
-
Holistic sleep support: guidance on newborn sleep patterns, safe sleep practices, bedtime routines, and optimising sleep for both you and your baby.
​​
-
First outings together: accompanying you on walks, medical appointments, or errands to offer reassurance and a helping hand.
-
Time for you: light housekeeping, meal preparation, and errands so you can focus on rest and recovery.
​
-
Building Your Support Network: helping you create a strong circle of support, including care for siblings.
​​
-
Ongoing phone & text support: all packages include a basic level of phone, text, and email support between visits for any questions or reassurance you may need.

3 Step Rewind To Help With Birth Trauma Recovery
​
The 3-Step Rewind Method is a safe, gentle, and effective guided meditation technique designed to help release lingering feelings of fear, anxiety, or distress following a difficult birth, postnatal experience, breastfeeding challenges, or any other perinatal trauma.

If you feel that past experiences are still weighing on you, this method can help you move forward with greater ease and confidence. I would be happy to share more about how it works and offer sessions as part of an antenatal or postnatal support package.
