We have a small team of experienced doulas who are highly sought after for their professional post-natal support.  Some of our doulas are also trained as birth doulas, do speak to us if this is a service you require.  A post-natal doulas main role is to “mother the mother” – her role is akin to that of a best friend; a calm, quiet and reassuring presence in your home at a time when it can feel overwhelming.  Because each family is unique, she will provide tailored support which will include (but not be limited to) the following:

• general care of the mother and the newborn baby, guidance in bathing, calming techniques, sleeping patterns and newborn development
• household tasks including laundry, light housekeeping, grocery shopping and meal preparation
• supporting feeding choices
• helping with birth recovery
• shopping
• helping with siblings
• giving you time to sleep
• cups of tea as needed and being a shoulder to cry on or someone to laugh with
• first excursions
• non-medical support
