What are the benefits of working with a mentored doula?I am currently a mentored doula, in the process of building my experience and expertise under the guidance of a seasoned doula. Choosing a mentored doula has its advantages. One of the most significant benefits for you is the cost-effectiveness. Because I'm in the learning phase, my services are often more budget-friendly while ensuring you receive excellent support. Our feedback process is also designed with your convenience in mind. After our sessions, you'll have the opportunity to provide input through a short online debrief session with my mentor or fill out a paper form.

What Are the Differences Between a Birth Doula and a Postnatal Doula?A Birth Doula primarily provides support during pregnancy and labor. They offer emotional and physical support, help create a birth plan, and assist with pain management techniques. A Postnatal Doula, on the other hand, focuses on the postpartum period, offering support after the birth. They provide assistance with newborn care, postpartum recovery, and emotional support during the adjustment to parenthood.
-
Why Do You Specialize in Postnatal Support?The postnatal period is a crucial but often overlooked phase in the parenting journey. Having a doula's support during this time can be immensely beneficial. While I'm passionate about providing support during childbirth as well, my current schedule doesn't allow for the flexibility required for attending births. However, I hope to expand my services to include childbirth support in the future.
-
When are you available?I'm open to accommodating various time slots, including mornings, nights, overnights, and can explore the possibility of setting up a weekly day slot for more extended assistance. If you have specific scheduling preferences, don't hesitate to reach out, and we'll work together to find the perfect solution for your unique situation.
-
Is Doula Support Available for LGBTQ+ Families?Absolutely. I provide inclusive and supportive care to all families, including LGBTQ+ families. My aim is to offer a safe, welcoming, and respectful environment for everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
-
Can You Provide Services Beyond North London?Of course. Please get in touch, and I'll assess the feasibility of extending my support to your location. I also offer virtual services.
