HOW I CAN HELP
When you're expecting a baby and you already have an older child or children the question of who will look after your other children while you focus on birthing your baby can be very emotional. As a doula and an experienced mother of 9 children I can help your children stay calm, in routine, feel special, and help them process what's happening. I can support your children in your home or mine if you are giving birth in hospital or I can support your children in your home during your home birth. No need for mums to worry, I can also help prepare the family home for the return of the parents and the arrival of your new baby.
