The Preparation Doula

Aim: Sessions to understand birthing physiology and how to prepare for your unique birthing journey,  

Antenatal sessions only. 6 hours in total 3 x 2 hour session. In person, via Zoom or a mixture of the two.

First Session: Anatomy of the birthing body and how to prepare. Each birth is unique and unfolds in its own beautiful way. Learning how to prepare and understanding the role of hormones and how they work with your body, will influence the birth you desire, with as little intervention as possible.

Second Session: The birth and postpartum plan. This is a discussion based around your wants and needs for those early days and adjusting to life with a new baby. We will look at your rights and discuss how you want to be advocated for should you feel you need it.

Third Session: This is the final session before your baby joins the party. In this session we will look at optimal positioning for labour and how your birth partner can physically support you. Did you know you don’t actually have to stay on the bed, movement is so valuable!
