Doula Packages
I support clients birthing at a hospital, homebirth or birth by caesarean in metro Adelaide.
*Packages can be individually designed to support your needs. I do have some standard packages that some clients opt for. These packages available include:
*Birth Preparation and Postnatal offerings ( no labour support)
Birth preparation sessions where we go over your desire and aim for birth. This package is for clients who would like to be better prepared for their birthing experience without the support of a doula in the birth space. We discuss options and you can make decisions, then I create a birth preference plan for you that you can refer to during labour. This package includes a postnatal debrief session to discuss your birth.
Birth and Postnatal Packages
I tailor packages to suit each individual client needs, however an example of some of the offerings I provide are below to give you a guide.
*Refresh Me (1 Prenatal visit, Birth attendance and 1 postnatal debrief visit. Recommended for experienced parents who are seeking a little extra support mainly for labour/birthing)
*Prepare Me (most commonly used, and explained below)
*Nuture Me (2 Prenatal visits, 1 Prenatal Energy Healing session, Birth attendance, 2 Postnatal visit, 1 Postnatal Healing session)

Antenatal visits
Antenatal visits are beneficial to enable the client and myself to build a rapport and therefore the client will feel more comfortable with my presence in their birth space. We can work through any fears you may have. I can offer information and support regarding common pregnancy issues.
In these visits I start preparing a document for your birth preferences, commonly known as a 'birth plan'. I assist you by working through your choices, options and preferences for your birth. We discuss pain management needs, active labour, third stage, and any emergency preferences that may arise also. I make a copy of this document for you to keep, and I keep a copy also which I bring with me when I come to support you in labour.
For women who do choose Elective Cesarean, I can meet you before you go to have your baby and immediately after while you are in recovery, or I can come in with you if you choose to have me present.

I will support you emotionally and physically, keep you focused and provide you with encouragement and guidance with positions and comfort techniques through labour. Support you with your needs, make sure you are hydrated and help you focus on your birth goals.
Immediate Postnatal/Breastfeeding support
In the immediate hours after birth, I can assist you with skin-to-skin contact between you and baby, and ensuring your baby is attaching to the breast (if you plan to breastfeed). I can help guide you with your newborn. I stay until you are feeling comfortable and confident, and ready for some quiet time together.
Postnatal visits
I come to visit you I the comfort of your own home to debrief your birth experience, and also to provide any assistance you may need with breastfeeding or caring for your newborn you may require.
