Packages

Each birth is unique and when you book The Dragonfly Birth package with me I will provide continuity of care throughout your pregnancy and into the early weeks of parenthood. I will be in your corner at every stage, supporting your values, beliefs and choices for 'Your Birth, Your Way'!

Our antenatal sessions together will ensure that we really get to know each other, so that we can build a strong and trusting relationship as a birthing team and so I can provide you with personalised 1-1 support as we prepare for birth, discussing your preferences and making a plan for your postnatal recovery.

During labour I will support you with all the information, emotional and practical support you need in order to remain calm and relaxed during this very special time.

After your baby is born I will visit for a postnatal support session. This visit could be to talk about how your birth went and how you are feeling now. You may have questions about feeding, sleep or settling your baby, so my visit will be the perfect opportunity to ask all those questions and more. I will also continue to provide virtual support for the first 6 weeks after birth, should you need it, so that you never feel alone on this journey into parenthood!

Bespoke Birth Doula Support includes...

• 3 antenatal sessions
• 1 postnatal debrief and support session
• On-call from 38 weeks of pregnancy until your baby is born
• phone/text/email support 9am-5pm up to 38 weeks and 24 hrs/day during the on call period
• support at the birth of your baby

 

All the wonderful benefits of The Dragonfly Birth Doula Package plus a private 1-1 Birth Preparation course (at a preferential rate).

In our sessions together, we will explore the delicate harmony between mind and body, deepening your understanding of this powerful connection, that is so important in labour. You'll learn to embrace and liberate any fears that may arise, paving the way for a calm and empowered birthing experience. Through gentle yet potent relaxation techniques, tailored for both pregnancy and labour, and by understanding the power of your breath, you'll be able to create a sense of peace deep within, allowing your body to flow effortlessly with the rhythm of birth.

The understanding and knowledge you’ll gain from our time together will allow you to navigate the path of decision-making with clarity and confidence, declining or accepting interventions with a deep understanding of their implications and exercising the power of informed consent. Whilst amidst it all, your birth partner learn how to step into their role as guardian and guide, confidently offering their unwavering support and love.

With each session you'll find yourself more deeply connected to your intuition, ready to welcome labour and the birth of your baby with confidence and a deep sense of peace.
