Having a baby, whether it’s your first time or not, can bring all kinds of emotional and practical challenges. As your postnatal doula, I’m there to ‘mother the mother’ first and foremost, while providing a range of support for you and your baby, in absence of ‘the village’.

I can be flexible depending on your family’s needs, so please get in touch to chat about how I can support you and current availability.
