ANTENATAL Birth Prep Sessions
If you are looking for some support during your pregnancy, but don’t need a full doula package, you can book stand alone sessions with me to ensure you feel informed and empowered as you move towards your birth portal.
Birth prep sessions can include:
❁ Exploring your views and needs, including your own birth stories, your ‘blueprints’
❁ In depth exploration of birth physiology + the role of hormones during labour and postnatally
❁ Birth visioning. Discussing preferences/ hopes, fears + ideas, and exploring comfort measures which might feel supportive during your labour
❁ Coaching for how to use movement, breath and sound during labour and birth
❁ Postpartum preparation: e.g. what does rest look like for you? What would be helpful for your mental health? What support would you like? Meal planning + baby feeding support
My antenatal birth prep sessions are £185 for a 3 hour session, or £495 for 3 sessions
Antenatal sessions
I offer at least 3 antenatal sessions for in-person clients, which usually last for 2.5 - 3 hours each.
During this time together, we will discuss any hopes, fears and ideas you might have relating to your birthing journey, including any previous experiences you are holding.
We will create a Birth Vision document which clearly states your wishes and preferences for how you wish to give birth, including backup scenarios.
This will ensure that you, any birth partner(s), and I all feel clear on your options, rights, boundaries and preferences, considering the various routes which your birth might take. This will include topics such as pain management, medical interventions, and comfort measures.
I can guide you through an depth exploration of birth physiology and the role of hormones during labour, birth and postpartum.
We will also spend time discussing your needs for the early days and weeks of postpartum and what will help you to feel the most supported.
Most clients also enjoy a combination of my additional offerings, which include sound healing, nervous system reset practices, yoga, meditation, and Birth threshold ceremonies, such as Mother Blessings.
We can arrange further antenatal sessions if you need to spend more time together before your birth. I will also be available on the phone for any questions you have from the moment you book me as your doula.
It can be helpful to block off a full afternoon or morning for any antenatal or postnatal sessions, so you don’t feel rushed or limited.
