Doula Packages

The word Doula ( pronounced doo-la) is becoming more common in the western world. Although having a Doula by your side at Birth dates back as far as ancient Greek times.

The word Doula translates to "servant to woman".

The Birth

Birth is such a BIG event, for you and your baby and your partner. Preparing for your Birth day with the support of a Doula can bring a feeling of family, support and much ease. Returning to your village & gathering all that you need & deserve all play a part towards a Better Birth. Birth is returning to the way it once was. Women are reclaiming their wisdom & voice in the Birth space, no matter where they are Birthing. However, if you are choosing to prepare yourself for Birth hiring a Doula will be a decision you will always reflect on. I'd love to be a part of your Birth journey & walk beside you.

Your on-call period with me will start at 38 weeks.

(if you go into spontaneous labour before my on-call period or any medical circumstances arise, I am your Doula, it's your duty to call me for support)

The Post-Birth Period

I feel the post Birth period is as important if not more for mum & bub. Deep rest is imperative for our health now & in the next 40 years of our life.

How we rest after Birth determines how our latter years are going to be. Keeping our village around us to ensure we recover thoroughly can support us when it is time to return to the community in our new role as a Mother. A well-nourished & rested Mother.

An on-call period 2 weeks postnatal offers a full range of support.

Breastfeeding Advice

Nutrition Advice

Full debriefing & referrals where needed.

Postpartum nourishing food packages are prepared by my expert postpartum cook. (available in some packages below)

Closing of the Bones

Closing of the Bones brings back ancient Mexican ceremonies offered by midwives into our modern day. In some cultures, it is believed that the woman's spirit will leave her body during labour & childbirth to collect their baby bringing them back earthside. The Closing of the Bones is a beautiful ceremony using authentic traditional rebozos ( Mexican scarves ) where we wrap her body so she feels held to then release through the spoken word in the ceremony. It is offered around six weeks post Birth to invite the spirit of the woman back into her body & an opportunity to release any trauma she may have experienced.

You will experience a medicinal herbal foot bath, reiki & womb massage with my natural handmade Aromatherapy womb healing balm (foot reflexology is available in the event your womb was still sensitive). It is deeply relaxing, healing & purposeful after Birth. Women have described them as powerful.
