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.

Online / Remote Postnatal Support

 

If you’re not based in London or simply need guidance without in-home visits, I offer remote postnatal support.

 

Through online sessions, I provide a listening ear, evidence-based advice, and personalised guidance to help you navigate the emotional rollercoaster of early parenthood.

 

Topics We Can Explore Together: 

​

  • Your birth experience: reflecting on and processing your journey.

​

  • Becoming a parent: emotional and practical adjustments for both mothers and fathers.

​

  • Newborn development: understanding what’s normal and what to expect.

​

  • Basic baby care: feeding, sleeping, soothing techniques, and co-sleeping.

​

  • Attachment & bonding: learning to read your baby’s cues and supporting responsive parenting.

​

  • Family relationships: navigating changes in your relationship with your partner and extended family.

​

  • Sibling support: helping older children adjust to a new baby.

​

  • Daily organisation: finding a new rhythm and structuring your days with a newborn.

​

  • Emotional wellbeing:  self-care, baby blues, and coping with the ups and downs of postpartum life.

 

No matter where you are on your parenting journey, I am here to support and empower you every step of the way.​​​​

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.
