Supported Birth

Birth Services

Once booked, the full birth service icludes:

Being on call for you and you alone for four weeks, two before and two after your due date, with a guarantee that I will not travel more than one hour away from you without prior arrangement with you.
Two or three visits prior to the birth of at least two hours each.
Unlimited telephone and email contact.
Being present throughout labour and birth from the time you decide you need me until after the baby is born.
One or two visits after the birth for debriefing and ongoing support with breastfeeding or any other area you would like help with. ( A total of four visits is included in the standard package although it is always possible to arrange more.)
A written account of your birth story.

I also have a collection of pregnancy, birth and natural health books that are available
to my clients for borrowing, a variety of homeopathic and herbal remedies that
may be useful, and skills in massage and Reiki for those that wish to use
them.

I work within the West Midlands, although on occasion I have been known to
travel further afield. Please do get in touch if you'd specifically like to work
with me but are not based in the West Midlands, as it may still be possible.
Doula UK has a list of doulas throughout the country which may be of use to
those based elsewhere.

I am the Doula UK Regional Rep for doulas in the Birmingham and surrounding area. I have close links with other birth and postnatal doulas through our regional group, and am able to arrange for shared care and back-up to cover any rare scenarios when I might not be available. This would always be arranged in advance with your full agreement.
