As a doula I can fully commit to my clients to be there for you, by your side, providing emotional support, important information to aid in healthy pregnancy and delivery, techniques to reduce discomfort, and advocacy.

Not only is a baby born, but a mother is born and this is where Doula Power can help families navigate the fourth trimester and beyond.

Birth Doula

2 x 2 hour pre-birth sessions in your home, primarily to get to know each other, but to also discuss:

• Your past experiences with pregnancy, birth and labour. If this is your first pregnancy, what your hopes, wishes, fears and expectations are.  Let’s also bust some of those myths!

• The various pathways to birth and your preferences.

• Ways I can support you and your birthing partner through birth, including relaxation, breathing techniques, massage and various pain management.

• Email, phone and messaging support throughout pregnancy to answer questions and offer support.

• Accompanying you on antenatal appointments at any stage in your pregnancy (by request)

• On-call 10 days before your EDD until week 42 (flexible)

• Continuous emotional and physical support during your birth; suggestions for progress, ease, and comfort; protecting your space; use of aromatherapy, massage, optimal birthing positions, breathing and grounding techniques if needed; creating a pause to give you time to make decisions.

• Help and support for first feed after birth.

• I will stay with you until you are settled with your baby.

• Debrief session in your home a week or two after birth giving you the opportunity to talk about your labour, the birth, address any sleeping/ feeding concerns, and of course, admire your new baby.
