Birth support

With you every step of the way providing continuity of education, support and care

Why hire a doula to support you through pregnancy and birth?

Every birth is unique as you are. Whether this is your first pregnancy, or you ninth, having a doula will enable you to feel truly informed and supported in your decisions and have continuity of care.

Please contact me to discuss building your package of support and your investment. I offer pricing plans.

Wrap around birth and postnatal support

This is the ideal level of support I like to provide for all new parents. If you would like something slightly different to what is listed please get in touch to have a chat.

  • 5 antenatal meetings which will include antenatal education to help you prepare for your birth by ensuring you understand the physiological birth process and are comfortable with your choices, creating your birth plan, use of movement, breath work, aromatherapy, rebozo and massage to aid you throughout labour, biomechanics and optimal birth positioning. Sessions will include planning for your postpartum including support with breastfeeding (if you feel this is something you would like to do).

  • An on-call period of 8 days before your due date until your baby is born

  • Access to my library of resources, TENS machine, birth balls, birth pool hire (included it you’d like one)

  • Support via Whats App or email within standard working hours (8am-8pm)

  • Support for the duration of your labour and birth and remaining with you after the birth to ensure you’re settled and comfortable with your baby

  • A postnatal session within a week of your birth to de-brief the birth, meet your lovely baby again. I can bring a hot meal and offer postnatal wrapping if you would like. I am a Breastfeeding Peer Supporter and can support you with your feeding journey.

  • A second postnatal session to catch up and support you in any way you feel is helpful.

““Alex was such a gift to us during the birthing of our fourth son, at home in a pool. In the months before the birth she was there to meet up with and talk through any concerns, which was a great comfort, and she was an invaluable member of our support team during it, working seamlessly with the midwifery team. It was an amazing birth, made the smoother because of Alex’s lovely presence and assistance..””
