Our antenatal sessions would ideally be carried out in your home or somewhere local to you, where we would get to know each other, along with your birth partner should you choose to have one. We will discuss your hopes for your upcoming birth, address any concerns you may have, form your dream birth plan, understand your expectations and make plans for the postnatal period to ensure a smooth transition.

I would also discuss ways of supporting you throughout labour including; breathing techniques, relaxation, massage and various comfort measures. I can also support you practically during our antenatal sessions, for example; help you pack your birth bag, help prepare your space, organising baby clothes, help with feeding preparations, help you set up your birth space if having a home birth etc. 

I would then go on call 10 days prior to your estimated due date (EDD) until baby arrives. During the on-call period, you can contact me 24/7. I will provide you with continuous physical and emotional support throughout your labour and birth, I will protect your birth space and allow you the time you need to pause and make informed decisions if/when necessary. I will empower you throughout your journey and ensure your wishes and needs are heard and leave only when you feel comfortable and ready for me to do so. 

When you are feeling ready, I will visit you at your home for a postnatal visit. I would support you in any way you need for example; debrief on your birth experience, help feed/soothe your baby so you can get some rest/take a shower/ eat with two hands! I can help prepare a meal for you and your family, help support you with feeding if needed, look after older siblings so you can bond with your baby or vice versa if you wanted to spend some time with your older child/ren while they adjust, light cleaning and laundry to keep you afloat. 

Additional postnatal visits can be added to my wrap around birth package. Please visit my Postnatal page for further information. 

I would absolutely love to hear from you!
