Every client I work with will receive a slightly different service. No two families have the same needs, wants and desires. It is so important that every family I work with has the care they desire. My services can begin from birth preparation during pregnancy, throughout your birth and into your postpartum. This is the ultimate continuity of care. Once we meet, we can work out what is the best support to suit your birth, postpartum and budget.
Pregnancy & Birth
Below is a brief outline of what working with me for your birth might look like:
Initial meet & greet (no obligation just conversation & connection)
2 in-home sessions during pregnancy, where we will discuss your birth wishes, antenatal & postpartum education planning, discuss labour, partner support and postpartum recovery.
I will be available throughout our time together between visits, to ensure you feel supported, confident and empowered as you navigate the questions, emotions and feelings as they arise.
I will be on-call 2 weeks either side of your due date (this means my phone is on 24/7 & I am prepared to be with you when labour happens)
During labour I am with you for the entirety. Whether we labour at home or in the hospital. I am with you.
In your postpartum we will meet (usually within the first week) to debrief your birth, I will assist with any questions or newborn care tips.
Postpartum Support
Newborn Support + Advice
Those early days of parenthood can feel truly overwhelming. Having an experienced doula in your home to guide you, answer any questions and give you practical hands on tips can help give you more confidence while you navigate this new world as a parent
Nurture and Care for Mum
I truly believe every mother should be nutured, supported, nourished and cared for during their postpartum. I can ensure a new mum is able to have a long warm hot bath / shower and a sleep while I care for bub. I can offer foot soaks, massage and provide in home cooking services to ensure the fridge is full of ready made meals of their choice.
In Home Light Duties
Washing piling up can be completed. The kitchen will be tidied. Fresh linen on your bed before I suggest you have a peaceful uninterrupted rest.
Investment
Due to the flexibility and bespoke nature of my services, prices do vary. Some clients are looking for antenatal support only. Some the full spectrum of support from antenatal, birth and postpartum support. Most families expect to pay between $810 to $2550 for my services dependant on the level of support required. Please reach out anytime to discuss your needs and we can work together to create support that is just right for you.
Hourly rate $120; however packages will give you the most benefit of specialised support and value.
