Get in touch

We can discuss my availability and the cost of a package to suit your individual requirements. 

 I also accept instalments to ease the cost. 

Your family and friends can purchase Doula gift vouchers from Doula UK, or if you are experiencing financial hardship, you may be eligible for free support through the Doula UK Access Fund.

As your birth doula I will support you continuously through labour and birth. I’ll be on call for you and arrive at your home or hospital and remain until after the baby is born. 

My aim is to maintain a calm and peaceful energy in the your birthing environment. When women are cared for during childbirth by a kind, gentle and reassuring presence, someone who knows them and respects their wishes, they feel safe and tend to give birth more quickly and easily.

My comprehensive Birth Doula package includes:

  • Usually 2 antenatal visits to discuss your birth preferences, expectations, birth physiology, parenting, any previous birth experiences and just to get to know each other. It is also important to meet your partner as I am there to support them as well.
  • I will be exclusively on-call 24/7 for 2 weeks before your guess date until your baby arrives and you can call me anytime of the day or night
  • I will support you throughout your labour until your baby is born and stay with you for a few hours afterwards until you are content for me to leave
  • Usually one postnatal visit to ensure you are happy after the birth of your baby and to chat through the birth.
  • Unlimited texts, email and telephone support throughout your pregnancy
  • Access to my library of books, use of TENS machine
  • Signposting to relevant agencies, websites, contacts, if relevant
  • Hire of a birth pool if required
  • Hire of a cub birthing stool if required
  • Hire of a TENS machine if required
  • Hire of Birth Sling if required
  • Optional HypnoBirthing course

Postnatal Doula Services

Please contact me for a free initial consultation to talk about my services and answer any questions you may have.
Get in touch

As a Postnatal Doula I offer an individualised and flexible support package.

Too often there’s plenty of support to help you care for baby, but not enough focus on you! It’s normal to feel overwhelmed and absolutely exhausted at times, so it’s important to be nourished and cared for too.

Sometimes I support a family as a one-off, and sometimes the support can last anything from a few weeks to a couple of years.

Postnatal Support packages include:

  • planning for the postnatal period and chatting about expectations and the reality of having a newborn
  • postnatal visits with a flexibility to suit you and your family needs
  • helping you to debrief your birth experience
  • hold your baby while you get some rest
  • light shopping
  • nourish you with food
  • accompany you to doctor’s/hospital appointments
  • help with older siblings
  • assistance with pet care
  • signposting on feeding, crying, sleeping, babywear, if relevant
  • help you to adjust to your new way of life as a mum!

here are some reviews from my clients – read more here

    I hadn’t heard of doulas until I was listening to a podcast after my first, very traumatic experience of birth. When I found out I was pregnant again one year later, I knew I would need the emotional support and security of having a Doula. I contacted Anne early in…

    My partner and I both knew we wanted Anne as our Doula and hypnobirthing teacher for our first pregnancy and she was an absolute Superstar for us both! She is the most calming, knowledgeable and grounding person, who is such and inspiring and incredible advocate for women and their birth…

    The service Anne provided throughout the pregnancy and during birth was wonderful. She was very supportive of our birth wishes and took the time to thoroughly read and discuss our birth plan, which was very reassuring for both my partner and myself. Being the Father during pregnancy and birth can…

    My husband and I signed up to complete a 5-week course focused on Hypnobirthing with Anne as she had been highly recommended to us by a few friends. We are both so glad we listened and followed through as we learnt so much as first time parents and were fully…

    Thank you so much for your support during both pregnancy and (most importantly!) during labour.  It was invaluable having you there and I keep raving about how great doulas are to random pregnant woman!

    After a first traumatic birth in hospital without doula support, we decided to reach out to Anne and she has been our doula for our second and third babies. Both had very different birth stories and these experiences have made my husband and I big advocates for doulas! Our second…

    Having Anne as our doula genuinely changed our experience of pregnancy and birth.  From the first contact to the birth itself we felt completely comfortable with her, she truly went above and beyond to be available and supportive. She ‘got’ what we needed and we felt that however the birth…

    I’m so glad I decided to book Anne as my postnatal doula. My husband and I don’t have any close family living nearby, so Anne’s visits provided invaluable support during our first weeks as new parents. She was a calming, judgment-free presence, and I felt so confident leaving her with…

    My Husband and I needed to find a doula in Northern Ireland and needed to hire her from South Africa before meeting her. As soon as I saw Anne online something in my heart knew she was right for us. She attentively cared for us during our hypnobirthing course online…

    The worst thing about using a doula for the birth of my second child was that I was cross with myself for not doing it the first time around. During and following the birth of my first son I felt lost; decisions  were made that I later regretted. I felt…
