  • ongoing email/phone/skype support throughout the antenatal and postnatal period:

    • For any questions/concerns which might come up outside of our antenatal sessions: feel free to ask me anything relating to antenatal health and well-being, labour and birth, postnatal care and looking after your newborn

  • postnatal consultation:

    • birth debrief and emotional support/advice

    • practical postnatal support and advice: breastfeeding & expressing, postnatal body queries, postnatal exercise, settling the baby, bathing the baby...all other weird & wonderful baby-related questions!

24/7 Positive Birth Package

Includes all of the Positive Birth Preparation package (above) PLUS:

  • I also accompany you to the hospital/birth centre and provide you with ongoing support during your labour and birth: supporting you to use lots of different techniques (which we will have practiced antenatally) to help you to remain Calm, Comfortable, Relaxed and Positive during your labour and birth e.g. affirmations, meditations, breathing techniques, positive touch/massage techniques ...

  • 24/7 On-call support at home during early labour: On-going advice and reassurance throughout early labour: when shall I go to hospital? are these 'real' contractions? what should I be doing in early labour? breathing techniques, active birth positions etc.

  • Additional postnatal visit; for ongoing postnatal support and reassurance

All of my packages are highly personalised to you and our individual circumstances.  Packages are flexible and can be tailored to suit individual needs e.g extra antenatal/postnatal visits can be added at an additional cost. Hypnobirthing sessions can also be changed to a more 'traditional' antenatal education programme, if required.
