Ceasarean Doula
You can absolutely have a doula for your C-Section!
Having a doula is about continuity of care, centring you in your pregnancy, having your wishes listened to, honouring your journey to meeting your baby — not about a specific type of birth. You deserve the doula effect regardless of how your baby arrives.
I’ve experienced two caesareans, I know first hand just how much it matters to be listened to and centred in order for your birth to truly feel yours. I have also walked the recovery path so can deeply empathise with you your experience.
Caesarean Doula Package

2 × 2 hour antenatal sessions, time to talk about your upcoming birth, lay solid plans to ensure that your birth feels right for you. Plan for your recovery and postpartum.
I will be with you on the day in hospital, helping you to remain grounded. We can incorporate some gentle spiritual practices (led by your preferences) gentle mindful activities, breath-work. I can attend your birth and be with you in theatre, or I will be waiting to join you again afterwards. If you know your baby will need to g to NICU i can stay with you while your partner stays with baby. If you have older children you may wish for your partner to go home and i can stay with you over night helping you with all the care elements which are so tricky in the first 24 hours.
