Post Natal Doula Support

I am passionate about nurturing new parents. In so many societies around the world there are traditions and systems to support birthing people in the days, weeks, months after birth - having witnessed this in the communities I have lived with, I believe that it is essential to incorporate this into modern lifestyles.

I offer various kinds of support to families in those crucial early days after birth, tailored to you and your baby’s individual needs. This can be ‘traditional’ post natal doula support, or in the form of restorative Ayurvedic post natal packages.

Post natal doula support can include light housework, preparing nourishing, nutritious meals (inspired by Ayurvedic post natal restorative recipes), tending to baby while you get a well deserved rest, going out for a walk together, or simply holding space for you. I can support you as you get to know your new baby, and together we can work out what works best for feeding, sleeping, and soothing.

My post natal services are available in the following batches:

6 session batch (12 hours)

Ad hoc hourly rate - 

If you are considering post natal doula support during your pregnancy, I usually try to organise one or two meetings before birth so that we can get comfortable with each other and get some preparations in order. I will then come and see you as soon as you are ready after birth, either at home or at the hospital according to your needs.

Ayurveda post natal care (including standard post natal doula) - 6 sessions (12 hours)

This package includes my standard post natal doula support accompanied by restorative Ayurvedic treatments to rebuild, rejuvenate, and replenish your strength and energy. This will be different for each person, but can include nourishing snacks/meals carefully prepared according to traditional recipes, herbal blends and tonics to support your post birth recovery, and light massage or guidance for restorative yoga poses advised by Ayurveda during the post natal period.
