Pregnancy can be surprisingly full of decisions. Where to give birth? Whether to accept a recommendation? What to ask at your next appointment? How to prepare your partner? What happens if your plans change? How you'll feel after birth, and sometimes, simply wondering whether what you're thinking or feeling is completely normal!

There is no shortage of information available. What can be harder to find is someone who has the time to sit down with you, understand your particular circumstances and help you make sense of it all.

That's where virtual doula support can be valuable.

You don't need me to make decisions for you. You don't need another person telling you what you should do. You have an experienced, knowledgeable person in your corner - someone who gets to know you, understands what's important to you and can help you explore your options with greater clarity and confidence.

Why virtual doula support?

Your midwife, obstetrician, GP and other maternity professionals each have an important clinical role in your care.

My role is different.

I offer time, continuity and personalised support around the experience of becoming a parent - the questions you want to talk through, the decisions you want to understand, the preparation that makes you feel more ready, and the moments when everything suddenly feels like a lot.

You might have an excellent maternity team and still want someone who knows you. Someone who remembers what matters to you. Someone you don't have to start from the beginning with every time.

Virtual support can be particularly valuable because it gives you the freedom to access experienced, personalised support wherever you are, without needing me to be physically present at your birth.

You might live outside the area I cover, already have the people you want around you during labour, be planning a caesarean or home birth, or simply want knowledgeable, independent support alongside your existing maternity care.

If you're expecting your first baby, there can be an enormous amount to take in. You may want help understanding your options, preparing for birth and feeling less like you're trying to piece everything together from antenatal classes, Google and conversations with friends.

If you've had a baby before, you already know that experience doesn't necessarily make the next pregnancy or birth predictable. You may want to approach this pregnancy differently, reflect on a previous experience, prepare your partner in a new way, or simply have someone experienced alongside you who understands that knowing what birth is like doesn't mean you'll have all the answers this time.

Whatever your circumstances, my role isn't to steer you towards a particular type of birth. It's to support you in understanding your options, thinking through your decisions and feeling more prepared for the experience ahead - while complementing the care you receive from your maternity team.

Choose the level of support that's right for you

I offer different levels of doula support. Please click on the buttons below to view each one in detail.

You don't have to navigate every decision alone.

You don't need another person telling you what to do. You need support that gives you the time and space to understand your options, ask better questions and make decisions that feel informed and considered.

You may have excellent clinical care. You may have a supportive partner, family and friends. You may have read the books, listened to the podcasts and done all the research, and you may still want someone experienced who knows you!

Someone you can come back to when you have a question. Someone who can help you make sense of information without overwhelming you with more of it. Someone who can support your partner too. And someone who doesn't disappear once your baby is born.

Whether you want one focused conversation or ongoing support from pregnancy through the early weeks with your baby, virtual doula support gives you a knowledgeable, familiar person to turn to when you need one.
