Dan: Birth & Postnatal Doula Care
« Hannah was an absolutely brilliant hypnobirthing teacher and doula for my sister-in-law. She found it tricky knowing how to navigate all of the choices in her pregnancy journey and was really quite scared about what to expect. Hannah was a supportive voice, an empowering guide and a wonderful support to the entire family during not only the lead up to the birth, but the main event itself. Her support in getting baby O’s feeding journey initiated and mum’s recovery well underway has been invaluable. Thank you for your care and loving attention Hannah! »
Josh: Hypnobirthing Course, Birth and Postnatal Doula Care
« Hannah really did go above and beyond for both my partner and I throughout our whole pregnancy journey. We found the course really helpful learning techniques and being more informed on every aspect of birth and what comes with it. Hannah also acted as our doula at the birth and without her support and knowledge our birth story would’ve been a lot different. We are so lucky that Hannah helped guide us to have a birth as close to our birth plan as possible through her expertise and management of the hospital staff. »

Q&A
As your dedicated guide, I am committed to creating a positive and nurturing environment where healing and love flourish. With personalised care, evidence-based practices, and unwavering support, I will empower you to embrace the transformative experience of becoming a mother. Together, we will navigate the challenges, celebrate the joys, and ensure that your transition into motherhood is filled with strength, healing, and an abundance of love. Each journey and doula package is unique and tailored around your specific needs.
Typically I support families from their pregnancy through to the end of the fourth trimester as a doula. Any prolonged relationship after your baby is three months would usually come under ‘coaching’!
I often get asked to do smaller jobs postpartum and for this I offer an hourly daytime rate of £45 and an evening rate of £65 with a minimum of 2 hours booked. Depending on the scope of support you require and the hours this will take, I can shape a bespoke package that suits your specific situation. Longer term and larger commitments benefit from discounted rates.
Any questions?
