My Doula Packages
Pregnancy and birth doula package £600 *
I can help you work out where and how you want to give birth, what comfort and pain-relief options are available to you, who you want to support you, and how you can stay in control and achieve the best possible birth for you and your baby. Together, we can create your ideal birth plan, while also working out what you will do if things don’t go as planned and you need to make decisions about your and your baby’s care or treatment.
