Pregnancy and Birth Support

I really don’t have a set way of working because each family has individual needs. My doula support is tailored and my experience and intuition means that this support is delivered in a way that ensures those needs are met.

My packages are briefly outlined below; we'll go into them in more detail when we meet - contact me to organise an interview.
