Care and Consultancy Packages:
Booking Considerations:
Consultancy packages can usually be booked fairly rapidily and I also offer (where possible) a special "trouble-shoot" service for instances where immediate assitance is needed. Unfortunately however my availability cannot be guaranteed. I may be already working with a client or have a prior booking.
With this in mind, should you require to book me as either your Doula or Maternity Nurse (or both), please remember to book well in advance of your due date as I can often be booked-up for many months ahead.
If I am unable to accommodate your dates, I have a contact list of qualified and personally interviewed associates with excellent references, that I can put forward to you for your specific requirements.
Care and Consultancy Packages:
I can be booked as a Birth Partner / Doula and/or as a live-in/out Maternity Nurse.
Maternity Nurse- This can either be a live in or live out position. I offer one-to-one coaching and support on all aspects of babycare and Mum's post-natal care. My role is to help ease the strain on Mum's after a baby is born and assist in setting the best foundations and routines for baby in both sleep and feeds. Other aspects include helping with posssible initial lactation problems and advice on baby's development and health as they progress through their next stages of growth.
Birth partner/Doula -A Doula is often described as mothering the mother.
As your birth partner I will prepare a birth plan with you and accompany you throughout your birth. I assist with all preparations and help you during Labour, birth and the bonding stages.
I will offer you practical and emotional support throughout offering suggestions such as breathing methods, relaxation and different positions. I will work with you to ensure you experience the birth that you want.
These are just a few of the many benefits:
Research has shown that by having a Doula Present at your birth can possibly decrease the need for c sect by up to 50%
Decrease need for medication
