However and wherever you choose to birth your baby, bringing your baby into the world is a transformative experience. You deserve to feel supported and informed for every step of the way. My birth package is designed to create space for you to receive continuous, personalised support throughout pregnancy and birth.
Throughout your pregnancy and birth, I promise to listen to you when you need to be heard, guide you if you're unsure of the options, encourage you if you need the reminder that you have got this, and help you create the birth experience that feels right for you.
What’s included in the package:
1. Antenatal Support
You will have with at least two antenatal home visits, tailored entirely to you and whatever support you need.
These visits can include:
• Talking through your hopes, concerns, and questions
• Exploring comfort measures and birth preparation
• Guidance for navigating the maternity system so you understand your rights and choices
• Creating birth preferences together, exploring your options and aligning them with your values
• Preparing your birth partner for their role
• Looking at practical plans for labour and the early days with your baby
Additional antenatal visits are available by prior appointment (additional charges apply) if you’d like extra time for deeper preparation, reassurance, or learning.
2. On-Call Support
I provide dedicated, guaranteed availability for 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after your estimated due date.
During this 4-week window, you can feel confident knowing I will be ready to join you as soon as you need me in labour. While I will always do my best to attend your birth outside this window, this period is my guarantee to you.
You’ll have access to me via WhatsApp during school hours in this on call period for questions, updates, and emotional support, as well as being available 24 hours a day to attend your birth.
3. Continuous Birth Support
When your labour begins, I will be there as soon as you want me to attend to bring steady reassurance and whatever support you would like throughout your entire birth, no matter how long it lasts.
Through our antenatal appointments we will discuss what role you would like me to take in your birth, this might include:
• Physical comfort measures
• Emotional grounding
• Encouragement and advocacy
• Support for your partner or other birth partner if you have one
• Helping create a calm, safe birth environment
• Protecting your space and preferences
My goal is to help you feel heard, respected, and empowered at every stage.
4. Postnatal Birth Reflection
Once your baby is here and you’re settling in at home, I’ll visit for a postnatal birth reflection session.
We can talk through your birth, celebrate your strength, and help to process anything you’d like to revisit. This is your space to feel heard and supported as you transition into early parenthood.
Whether you’re seeking practical tools, emotional reassurance, partner preparation, support with navigating the maternity system or someone to simply walk the journey with you, this package is designed to hold you with care.
