Expert, experienced support tailored to you
Guidance, reassurance, and care throughout pregnancy and birth
How a doula will benefit you:
Having a doula by
your side means receiving continuous, compassionate support through one of life’s biggest transitions.
Whether you need emotional reassurance, physical comfort, or practical guidance,
a doula is there to empower and uplift you.
Research shows that having this kind of care can lead to a more positive birth and postnatal experience, helping you feel informed, confident, and nurtured.
Investing in a doula is investing in yourself and your growing family—because you deserve to be fully supported every step of the way.
Elevated Care | Comprehensive birth doula support with continuity, calm, and depth
Elevated Care is my most complete level of birth support. It is designed for those who value steady, consistent care throughout pregnancy, birth, and the early postnatal period, and who want to be supported by someone they trust throughout this experience.
This package is about building a relationship over time, so when birth arrives, your support feels familiar, steady, and deeply attuned to you and what matters most.
Confirming the fit
Before we begin working together, we will meet face to face to make sure the connection feels right. By this point, we have usually already spoken and had a chance to explore whether my support aligns with what you are looking for. This meeting is about confirming that fit, asking any final questions, and moving forward with clarity and confidence.
Support throughout pregnancy
Once we are working together, my support begins immediately. As your birth doula, I am available to you throughout your pregnancy for questions, reassurance, and evidence-informed guidance. Whether you are navigating appointments, weighing up options, or simply need to talk something through, you do not have to do it alone — I will meet you where you are.
We will meet for two antenatal sessions in your home, at times that suit you.
The first session focuses on understanding birth itself. We explore birth physiology, how your body works in labour, and what supports the process of birth. This is a grounded, practical space for learning and understanding, helping you build confidence without pressure or expectation. From here, many parents naturally begin to reflect on their preferences and what might matter most to them.
The second antenatal session focuses more directly on your birth preferences, advocacy, and decision-making. We will talk through how to navigate the maternity system, what to expect as birth approaches, and how to feel confident asking questions and making informed choices. We can also explore biomechanics movements to help bring balance and comfort to your body in the final weeks of pregnancy.
Preparing for the postnatal period
Before your baby arrives, we will have a dedicated postnatal planning session. Together, we will look at both practical and emotional preparation for life with your baby. This includes hospital bag planning, feeding support aligned with your goals, and what you might want in place for the early weeks at home. The aim is to help you feel ready, supported, and grounded as you move into this next stage.
On call for your birth
From 38 weeks, I am on call for you 24/7. When labour begins, whenever that may be, I will be ready to join you. I support you through active labour and birth, staying until your baby is in your arms.
During this time, my focus is on protecting your space, offering calm, practical and emotional support, and helping you feel grounded, respected, and cared for within the reality of your birth.
After your baby arrives
After the birth, I will visit you at home for a postnatal check-in. This is time to reflect on your birth, talk through anything that has come up, and make sure you feel supported as you recover, adjust, and find your feet in this new chapter. Whether you want to debrief, ask questions, or simply be listened to, this space is for you. I can also signpost you to trusted specialist care providers, such as IBCLCs, cranial osteopaths, or other postnatal experts, using my carefully curated network to ensure you get the right support for your needs.
