POSTNATAL doula
“If a doula were a drug, it would be unethical to use it.”
When I arrive at your house, I’ll be the one to make you a cup of tea. Pyjamas are encouraged and unlike other visitors, you won’t be hosting me.
You can offload how you are feeling and I am there to listen and answer questions.
I can support with guidance around feeding, baby care and can signpost additional information and support as needed.
As a mother myself, I understand how important and comforting it is to have the support of someone who is not emotionally involved.
Whilst you hold your baby, I am there to hold you.
ABOUT EACH element OF MY SUPPORT
Emotional support
I will hold a safe space for you to debrief your birth, offload your feelings, share concerns and be there to celebrate successes with you.
Supporting you to acknowledge and understand the physical, emotional and physiological changes you are going through, as well as what’s normal newborn behaviour will help you navigate this transformative time.
Informational support
Ask me any questions! I will provide information (always evidence based and the very best sources) around feeding, baby care, physical recovery and anything that is on your mind.
If you’d like me to help you connect with other parents and local groups, I can share these details and help you build your village.
There is an option to do a pre-birth postnatal preparation session as well so that you are as prepared as you can be before you meet your baby.
Practical support
My practical support is tailored around what you need on the day.
Practical support may include:
Watching / holding / sling wearing your baby so that you have time for yourself. I can also take your baby out for a walk.
Ensure you have a hot drink in hand and something to eat
Prepare a meal or batch cook so that you are one step ahead
Put on a washing load, fold and put away laundry
Help make the environment around you feel calm by putting the vacuum around, doing the dishes, or tidying away baby things or sorting baby clothes
Some people find it helpful for me to run errands or attend appointments, giving them confidence on those first outings out with a little one.

when and where i support
Most people get the maximum benefit from having a doula in the fourth trimester (first three months), but please get in touch if your baby is older and let's have a conversation about how I might be able to support you.
I cover homes in Falmouth and surrounding areas. I may be able to support further afield but will charge mileage for this
