Before your baby arrives:

I can offer antenatal support, helping you understand the changes to your body, what decisions and plans you need to make, so as to be ready and looking forward to your baby’s birth. I can help you to work out your birth plan, where you want to birth your baby, at home or in hospital. I’ll make sure you have all the information you need if you have some tricky decisions to make beforehand or during labour, and teach you some ways of easing labour pain.

You can also learn some soothing lullaby songs to sing to your baby, who will love to get to know your voice as they grow, and once born, will delight in and respond to the familiarity of your gentle sing songs.

During birth:

I can be there at the birth, to support, comfort and guide you, to support your birth partner to help you, and to advocate for you, whether you’re at home or in hospital.
You can have the confidence of knowing I am in your corner, making sure your voice is heard and that you’re able to decide what’s best for you and your baby.
If you want, I can even take photographs. Or maybe you simply want your birth space protected and peaceful, and I can help make that happen.

After you have given birth:

When you’re at home with your baby or while you are still in hospital, I can continue to support you by phone or in person. This might be by caring for you, infant feeding support, looking after baby or your other children, some meal preparation, running errands, some light housework, dog walking, or just letting you bath, sleep and rest – whatever you need to give you the chance to recover, heal, and adjust to your new family member.
