As your Postnatal Doula I am available to support you for as little or as long as you need me; from a one-off visit when you need help, a few hours here and there or more regular visits over the first weeks and months of your new baby’s life. Visits can range from a few hours practical support to more regular or sustained support practically and emotionally during your transition to parenthood and generally helping you to become the parent you want to be.
With a minimum visit of 2 hours, here are a few examples of packages on offer, but I’m very happy to discuss different options to suit you.
Ad hoc Doula rate £22.50 per hour (daytime)
This is my “pay-as-you-go” package! Book as an when you need me for a minimum of 2 hours at a time. I can come and listen if you feel overwhelmed, hold and care for baby to give you a break, be there for you as you learn how to care your your little one and generally look after you during this special time. I can play with your older child, batch-cook some delicious healthy meals for you and your family.
Mini-package – 10 hours at £220
Book me for 10 hours, spread over 3-4 visits. You may want some support in the early days while you are getting used to your new role, maybe when your partner returns to work and you are adjusting to parenting or just if you are going through a more difficult patch.
Standard Doula Package – 20 hours for £420
My Standard package is 20 hours. This could start from as soon as your little ones comes into your home, or when your partner returns to work. Or it could be later if that suits you better. This package allows us time to get to know each other and work together so I can provide all the support you need in the early days.
Witching hour support From £60
It’s not unusual for babies to have a fussy, unsettled period towards the end of the day. It’s often at the time of day when you are feeling tired as well. I can help at this time by coming in and helping care for your baby. I can cook a quick meal for you and hold your baby while you eat in peace. I can look after baby while you cook and eat. Or we can discuss other ways of making this difficult time easier for you and your baby.
