Birth support services
As a doula, I provide physical and emotional support, guidance towards accurate and up-to-date information, and advocacy for your choices whilst you navigate the perinatal period and make decisions about how you will meet and nurture your baby. However this looks for you, I will be there to support you with what you need, feeling nurtured, confident, and capable. At the heart of being a doula is the act of 'holding space', centring you completely in this journey, with unwavering faith in your innate ability to grow and birth your baby, and respect for your intuition in this process.
​
* if the packages below do not cover what you are looking for, please get in touch and we can discuss your individual needs.
Birth package
- 8 hours of antenatal support, covering important considerations during pregnancy, birth planning and preparing for the postpartum period;
- on-call from 38 weeks up to your baby's arrival;
- 9 hours postpartum support within the first 3 weeks.
Postnatal package
Bookable in 3 hour blocks, either as an add-on to the postnatal support provided in the birth package or as standalone postnatal support, use this service to mother you in whatever way you need while you mother and bond with your baby.
Individualised Birth Planning
What would the version of you that exists when no-one else is around, when you are living a life that is easeful and effortless, choose for your birth? Let this be the blueprint for your birth planning and let's have a conversation about what really makes you, you, and what is important in the moment that you meet your baby.
Birth Reflection
An opportunity to talk and share unapologetically, at whatever stage of postpartum life you are in (3 months, 3 years or 30), to process what has happened.
​
It will not be a time to fix, but a judgement-free space to be heard and emotionally held, whatever feelings come up. This is not a therapy offering, although the time together may highlight a role for/benefit to this, and I can support you with signposting or discuss other ways I can help.
Client Testimonial
"Alex is a rare, special person and was my guide on the journey to motherhood. I could depend on her in my darkest hour and she leaned into my needs: mental, emotional and practical. My son and I are indebted to her for a birth and start to life that were unrecognisably better for having her as my doula."
