Massage Doula
- What will your Doula do?
Meeting me for the first time
The first time we meet will enable you and your birth partner to ask questions and get to know me. It also allows me to learn what goals and wishes you both have for the birth.
What support can you expect from a Birth Doula?
Before Birth
When you employ me as your Birth we have a number of antenatal meetings (depending on your package) with information and practical suggestions to help you and your partner during labour. Of course, you don't have use your antenatal appointments to learn about these subject, I am equally happy to attend hospital appointments with you, go for a meal or a shopping trip for the arrival of the baby.
I will be on-call 24 hours a day 7 days a week from week 38 to week 42 and will be within an hour’s reach. Before your due date, you can have antenatal meetings with me that will enhance your labour experience. These are meant to be additional to antenatal sessions with the NHS or the National Childbirth Trust, not replace them.
Extra support from Louise
As your Birth Doula I can also offer you prenatal massages from the first trimester through to the last and maternity reflexology to support you through pregnancy, prepare your body for labour and if necessary, support your labour to be on time before a medical induction is needed.
In Labour
Once I have joined you in labour I stay with you throughout your labour offering support to you and your partner when needed.
After Birth
I will visit you at home to ensure you are comfortable and offer helpful advice if needed
