Pregnancy & Birth Support
Pregnancy & Birth Support
Everyone involved in your experience plays a different role, as such I never take the place of your partner or other members in your support team, but work alongside them – drawing close for support and stepping back to allow space when appropriate. I will offer ideas and guidance as we have discussed together in our prenatal sessions; I will listen to you and work hard to help you feel safe and respected throughout; I will remind you of your intentions; help you to ask questions; and fully support any decisions you make along the way. I am also there to encourage and support your partner so they can continue to support you well. Once your baby is in your arms, I will remain with you for 2-3 hours to help support initial skin to skin time and your baby’s first feed, and to make sure that you are feeling comfortable and ready to settle in together as a new family.
Get in touch to discuss your individual needs.Package Inclusions
