Postnatal Doula Support
We used to live in villages surrounded by family and friends that supported and guided us through the previous postnatal transition and our parenting journey. As most of us do not have this support on our doorsteps anymore, a postnatal doula can offer physical, emotional and practical help whilst also supporting your healing, rest and nourishment at this precious and delicate time.
You can buy packages of support for 12, 24 or 36 hours

Mothers Blessing
£150 plus supplies
This is an alternative to a baby shower that focuses on the mother rather than the baby. It is a time to gather the nearest and dearest woman in your life and take time to honour the journey you have been on so far and support you as you move into this next chapter of your life. The ceremony can include guided meditation, setting intentions for the birth, sending wishes to the baby, creating birth affirmation bunting and many more tasks that bond the group to mother and baby. It is a beautiful way to take pause and feel truly loved for the person you are and visually see all the support you have around you as you take on your new role in life.
Postpartum Massage and Closing Ceremony
£120
During pregnancy the body physically expands to accommodate the growing baby: the pelvis tilts and widens, the spine curvature increases, the abdomen stretches to accommodate the growing uterus, which in turn pushes all the internal abdominal organs up. Then during the birth the pelvis opens. Once the baby is born, this all has to happen in reverse. On a simple physical level massaging and wrapping helps stretched, unstable muscles and ligaments return to your body's pre-pregnancy alignment.
On a deeper level, new mothers are open emotionally and spiritually. They are transitioning from who they were to who they will become. A massage and body closing ceremony brings us back into our body and provides a sense of being held, protected, honoured and cared for. This has been practiced all around the world for centuries.
I come to your home and the massage and closing ceremony takes approximately 1 hour on a massage table. There is no time frame on when this can be done after a birth. It can be days or years, the benefits will still be felt.
