Holistic Birth Preparation & Education (2 hour virtual session): €180
This session is for you if:
You’re a first time parent and would like non-judgmental and evidence-based information around birth. Learn about proven methods on how to maximise your chances of having a physiological birth, explore non-medical and medical forms of pain relief while working with your body's physiology to ensure a safe birth.
You’ve given birth before but are looking for a different experience this time around. Learn what is possible in birth and how to find a care-provider that can truly support you in experiencing the birth you desire.
You’re experiencing a high-risk pregnancy and would like to minimise interventions and maximise ease and comfort in labour. You will learn how to give your baby the best start in life and receive tools to feel empowered and in charge of your choices.
As a doula I work in harmony with both natural and medically assisted births.
I will also help you find your ideal care provider. Someone who can support you to have the experience you are hoping to have. I will guide you towards different pathways of finding a midwife and can also 'hold your hand' throughout this process until you have found someone you connect well with.
You’ll leave this session feeling empowered and confident about your upcoming birth. Your partner will feel well equipped with hands-on tools to support you during labour and birth.
Kita search add-on (1-hour virtual session): €100
Additionally, I can also cover the topic of Kita search.
I can advise you on where to find Kitas and childcare providers, how to make a selection, pros and cons of different child care options, which questions to ask in the interview process, how to find child care that matches your needs and preferences, and how to make the transition into daycare with your child.
Postpartum Planning Session (1 hour, virtual): €100
“Postpartum is forever.”
A postpartum plan helps you and your partner prepare for the emotional and logistical changes that come with having a baby. It’s designed to make your transition into parenthood as smooth as possible so you can enjoy bonding as a family, get (breast)feeding off to a good start and decrease stress/overwhelm.
You can use this plan to have open and honest conversations with each other, your support team and health care provider.
The goal is to identify your unique needs, relevant resources and coping skills so you have an actionable plan ready to implement after birth.
This session covers the most fundamental areas of support: sleep, self care, emotional wellness, logistics and nutrition.
Throughout the session you will also have the opportunity to ask questions related to newborn care, (breast)feeding and what to expect in terms of normal infant behaviour/sleep.
Family-centred Cesarean Birth (1 hour virtual session): €100
Make your cesarean birth a positive and empowering experience.
We will discuss ways to make a cesarean more family-centred and gentle and how your partner can support you before, during and after birth.
We will cover what to expect on the day as well as tips for your recovery and healing after birth.
You will receive a Cesarean birth plan as well as a Postpartum plan so you feel confident and prepared.
