What I offer…

  • Doula support is about more than just being present during labour and birth, whether in hospital or at home, it’s about building a relationship grounded in trust. I provide you with continuous, personalised companionship to help you (and your partner if you have one) through every step of pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

    My doula support package can be tailored to individual needs and I offer payment plans and a sliding scale so if cost is an issue please don’t hesitate to get in touch. 

    The standard package is £1,500 and looks like this

    • two face to face meetings during pregnancy to establish your hopes, address any concerns and plan around your specific needs and wants (at least 90 mins each)

    • writing a birth plan together

    • preparing your partner (if applicable)

    • teaching birth positions and techniques to manage pain and aid good labour

    • being on for you call 24hrs a day 7days a week from 38 weeks until baby is born

    • with you as soon as you need me during labour and for the birth itself

    • there for at least an hour after baby is born to protect the golden hour and help establish feeding

    • two face to face post partum meetings (at least 90 mins each)

    • signposting to useful resources, support groups, specialists if required

    I know how important it is to feel supported at one of the most sacred and transformational times of your life. That’s why I also offer text and call assistance whenever you need reassurance throughout your pregnancy. Sometimes a quick check in is all you need to put your mind at ease.

    Please don’t hesitate to contact me for a free chat on the phone or to discuss payment options. 

    It’s important to find the right doula for you so I always advise talking to a few doulas before making a final decision. I’m part of a network of excellent doulas in Leith, Edinburgh and the surrounding area and I’d be delighted to put you in touch.

  • Some people like to have the option to add-on extra support before/after baby is here.

    Antenatal doula support is about preparing for the birth physically, mentally and emotionally.

    Postpartum doula care is about nurturing the whole family as they adjust to life with a new baby. It’s tailored to what each household needs and that looks different for everyone. Whether it’s a listening non judgemental ear,  help with infant feeding, a warm meal, a nap, a dog walker, signposting to local services, or just someone to offer reassurance and help you trust your instincts as a new parent.

    Extra support before/after baby arrives is available at £30 per hour.

  • I’ve been a Reiki healer for nearly 30 years.

    Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that promotes relaxation and stress reduction by channelling life-force energy. It is increasingly recognised in medical settings for its holistic benefits, particularly during pregnancy. 

    Appointments are available at £30 p/h for doula clients
