My Services

A postnatal doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical, and practical support to a new parent and their family during the postnatal period. This includes helping with newborn care, breastfeeding/chestfeeding support, and household tasks.

Postnatal doula prices in the UK vary based on the level of support required and the doula's experience. Contact me to discuss your needs and receive a personalised quote.

Matrescence is the process of becoming a parent, encompassing the physical, emotional, and psychological changes that occur during this period. It's similar to adolescence in its transformative nature.

Preparing for parenthood involves educating yourself, building a support network, and seeking services that cater to your well-being. My postnatal doula care and matrescence coaching are excellent resources to help you prepare.

Postnatal and postpartum are terms often used interchangeably to refer to the period after childbirth. "Postnatal" typically refers to the mother or birthing person, while "postpartum" refers to the period after the baby is born. Both terms encompass the physical and emotional adjustments after birth.

A postnatal doula offers comprehensive support that includes assisting with breastfeeding/chestfeeding, caring for the newborn, providing emotional support, and helping with household tasks. This support helps the new parent recover and adjust to life with a new baby.

Dealing with postnatal depression involves seeking professional help, such as therapy, and building a support network. My services include providing emotional support and practical advice to help you navigate this challenging time. It's important to reach out and not face this alone.

Postnatal depression can be caused by a combination of hormonal changes, sleep deprivation, and the emotional adjustment to parenthood. It's a common condition that can be effectively managed with the right support and treatment.

Supporting someone with postnatal depression involves listening without judgment, offering practical help, and encouraging them to seek professional support. Small acts of kindness and understanding can make a significant difference.

Matrescence doesn’t have a fixed duration as it varies from parent to parent. It's a continuous process of evolving into the role of a parent, and it can last for months or even years as you adjust to the different stages of your child's growth.

When interviewing a postnatal doula, consider asking about their experience, the types of support they offer, their availability, and their approach to postnatal care. It's important to find someone who aligns with your needs and values.

Preventing postnatal depression involves taking care of your mental health during pregnancy, building a strong support network, and preparing for the postpartum period. Seeking early support if you notice symptoms can also make a big difference.

A healing session offers a sanctuary for relaxation, rejuvenation, and deep connection with yourself. It can help new parents by providing a calming space to reconnect with themselves and support their overall well-being.

Coping with single parenthood involves seeking support from family, friends, and community resources. Building a routine, taking time for self-care, and connecting with other single parents can also provide much-needed support and encouragement.

There are many resources available for single parents, including support groups, counselling services, the Universal Credit scheme, and online communities. I also offer personalised support to help single parents navigate the challenges they face.

From birth to support with recovery and establishing breastfeeding/chestfeeding, typically up to 4 months.

Yes. I offer my matrescence coaching services, postnatal planning workshops and Traumatic Birth Recovery 3 Step Rewind online. I also offer distance healing, that you may receive at any time.

We begin with a clarity and chemistry call to decide which service you would like to progress with. Then, an agreement is made and the work commences.

I love to support to find ways to cook nourishing and easy meals for the whole family to enjoy. I help to prepare and cook basic meals during the visit. This typically is a meal for you during the visit and either preparation or discussion for the next meal. The greatest benefit is that I ensure you have nourishing meals and snacks which is important for your postnatal recovery.

I am not trained in childcare; however, I do support you and your family with older children during the visit if this will help you, as the parent, to seek the necessary rest and recovery in your postnatal period.

I do aim to make a pleasant environment with light tidying and cleaning, for the comfort of the new parent and baby. I encourage clients to seek out a cleaner beyond this, if they feel they are in need of a regular deeper clean for their houses.

This depends on location and is a premium service.
