LOOKING FOR 1:1 SUPPORT?
Live online support through pregnancy & postpartum
PERSONALISED HOLISTIC PERINATAL SUPPORT
Are you looking for caring, compassionate support throughout your pregnancy or postpartum time?
Craving to feel heard, held and nurtured by an experienced birthwork practitioner you can confide in with confidence, and ask questions without fear of judgement?
Or simply seeking to connect with a birthworker from the comfort of home - or on the move - wherever you are?
After more than a decade serving women and their families as a doula, birthworker and bodyworker, I am delighted to now offer 1:1 birth mentoring and coaching support online.
I have witnessed the gaping holes in the maternity system that can leave women second guessing, confused and fearful, feeling unsupported, unheard and unimportant.
'Just another number' is a line that comes up often.
The rites of passage from maiden to mother, returning to new motherhood, and journeying through loss, all deserve recognition, respect and rest.
And that is made possible with the support of compassionate, personalised care in your corner.
I am now offering 3, 6 and 12 month support packages, providing you with flexible access to 1:1 support calls when - and where - suits you.
All support packages include access to The Village, the online motherhood community exclusively for my clients and course members.
For those of you wanting a little more, the 6-month package includes the WholeMama Alignment for Pregnancy online yoga fusion course, and the 12 month package includes both WholeMama and my new App, Confident Mother.
Please note, 1:1 coaching and support packages are not intended to replace medical advice or midwifery. I am not a midwife and I am not available for birth attendance or labour support as a doula either in person or virtually. My role is to provide emotional support, education and mentoring throughout your pregnancy and postpartum, supporting you in your journey and your own decision making.
WHAT's INCLUDED?
Support packages can be tailored to include any combination of the following offerings:
Support personalised to your unique needs and desires as you choose your birth team and explore your options of where and how you choose to welcome your baby Integration of the Birth Map concept to create a map for all possibilities, rather than a 1-way birth plan.
Evidence-based education and exploration of physiological birth, including learning practical tools both you and your partner can use in labour and birth.
As a certified Spinning Babies Aware practitioner, I can provide virtual support with Spinning Babies protocols and pelvic alignment techniques to optimise foetal and maternal positioning, as well as education on active and upright birth positions to support physiological birth.
If you (or your partner) experience anxiety or 'white coat syndrome' in medical settings, it may be helpful to receive coaching on self advocacy skills and informed decision making, including understanding your rights and the importance of informed consent.
Birth debriefing can be supportive for any previous birth or loss, even if it was many years ago. This support can be integrated at any time that feels right for you.
Postpartum support often starts in pregnancy with helping you put preparations in place for your postpartum time. This support can continue in postpartum with regular scheduled support calls to nurture your wellbeing.
Receive guidance and support on stretches and release techniques you can use at home to support comfort and mobility in pregnancy and postpartum. Choose the 6 or 12 month package to include the WholeMama Alignment for Pregnancy online yoga program.
