Doula
Birth and Postpartum doula support for personalised 1:1 care
Ways I can support you before, during and following your baby’s arrival. Get in touch for a chat here.
Options and packages include:
Antenatal support session (90 minute session online) - choose a single session online with me for a non-judgmental one-off session focussed on your birth plans and preferences. A great chance for you and your birth partner to ask questions or go deeper in one area of preparation. Follow ups include signposting you to relevant information and evidence, and follow up conversations on Whatsapp.
Birth Doula - compassionate, unbiased support for you through your pregnancy, birth and early postpartum. My role is to walk calmly alongside you as you birth and welcome your baby. Every birth is unique and I am there to help you feel safe, heard and confident in your choices by supporting you emotionally, physically and with evidence-based information and care. Get in touch for more information and rates.
Postpartum Doula - supporting you at home during postpartum and the 4th trimester as you navigate life with a newborn. I am a reassuring presence at a time of immense change, there to make sure you’re able to prioritise rest, recovery from birth, and bonding with your baby. What I offer is shaped by what you need and want to help ensure you are well-nourished and resourced, rested and physically cared for as you find new family rhythms. We can discuss the levels of support available and what this can include.
Ad-hoc or ongoing Postpartum Doula support - a session at your home with me for minimum 2 hours. It might be a one-off around a specific area, or regular ongoing support. Get in touch for rates and to discuss how I can help.
Here are some recent client experiences:
“Here’s how I truly felt: Sian’s knowledge, generosity and compassion truly saved me as a first-time mother without a village of postnatal support. Her practical tips and listening ear brought comfort, confidence as I cared for my newborn, and relief from loneliness. Sian is one of life’s kindest souls, and I feel so grateful our paths crossed.”
“Sian was an enormous support during my postnatal recovery, offering much-needed guidance and reassurance through a very challenging week after birth. I was struggling with breastfeeding and feeling extremely emotional at the time, and Sian took the time to genuinely listen to my experiences and support me with care and understanding. Having someone who truly heard my concerns and offered simple, practical solutions that were easy to access made a huge difference. It was also incredibly valuable to speak with someone independent from NHS healthcare professionals, and I found her support to be thoughtful, balanced, and unbiased.”
“I can’t recommend Sian highly enough. She was an incredible source of support during both my pregnancy and postpartum journey. More than anything, she helped me feel supported and confident during a special but daunting time.
After a traumatic birth, I was completely shell-shocked and struggling to adjust to life with a newborn. I reached out to Sian and booked a set of postpartum doula sessions when my baby was around four weeks old, and they made such a difference. She listened without judgment, offered reassurance when I needed it most, and gave me practical, gentle guidance that helped me feel more confident as a new mum.”
“I am so thankful I booked a private session with Sian before my baby arrived. I was so deeply relaxed and encouraged in both body and mind. My anxiety drifted away and I felt ready in my body to face birth bravely and calmly. The atmosphere she creates is one of nurturing peace and warmth. I felt in such safe hands, like hanging out with an old friend. Physically I learnt invaluable moves that directly helped my labour also.”
