Antenatal support just for you

Antenatal Support

  • Three 2.5 hour antenatal sessions in your own home, just for you and your birth partner.

    Across our time together we explore:

    How labour and birth work and what helps things to flow
    How to navigate the maternity system
    Your options for place of birth and pain relief
    Inductions and medical interventions and how to make informed decisions
    Your birth preferences and how to communicate them
    The early days with your baby, including feeding, sleep and practical care

    You also receive: 1:1 support from me afterwards – you can message me with questions and worries until you feel you no longer need that extra layer of support

    This is a gentle, in depth way to prepare together without being in a group setting.

  • A three hour session on Zoom or in person.

    This is a gentle, empowering space to:
    Talk through a previous birth experience
    Explore what felt challenging and what you would like to feel differently this time
    We’ll use hypnobirthing tools to support relaxation, confidence and coping and begin to shape your next birth from a place of understanding and self compassion

    We use your story as the starting point and work together to nurture your confidence for what is ahead.

  • 3 hour session where we focus on prepare for the arrival of your newborn baby!

    We cover:

    Newborn development & behavior - putting yourselves in your babies shoes
    Infant feeding, formula & bottle prep
    Recognising cues and trusting our instincts
    Safe sleep & realistic expectations
    Baby care
    Babywearing & Swaddling
    Life with a newborn

    I can answer all your questions, and support your transition into parents and the postpartum period

  • 2.5 hours to talk through everything you need to consider for your birth plans, and what you might need to realistically achieve it.

    We’ll talk through how to make decisions, and to navigate the maternity system (I am familiar with our hospitals in East Kent)

    This will include talking through what you don’t want!

    Preparing for all eventualities can make a huge difference to your birth experience.

    This is a great option if full Doula support is out of your budget.

  • A 1.5 session on Zoom for planned abdominal births, or if you would like to feel more prepared for all eventualities.

    We cover:

    What to expect before, during and after a caesarean birth
    How the environment can still feel calm, informed and connected
    Feeding after a caesarean, however you want to feed
    Recovery, including practical tips and support for those early days

    There is plenty of time for your questions so that you come away feeling clearer and more confident.

  • An hour just for you on Zoom to focus on whatever would feel most supportive right now.

    You might want to:

    Talk through your birth preferences
    Ask questions about birthing in East Kent
    Understand more about what to expect on the labour ward
    Practise your birth breathing with guidance
    Have some honest, loving cheerleading as you approach your baby’s birth

    This is a flexible, focused session that we shape around you.
