Postnatal Doula & Birth Exploration Sessions
Postnatal Birth Exploration Session
£33 per hour for previous clients (to take place either online; your home; or at my teaching venue in Northamptonshire)
​
If you're not a previous client, or live further than 10 miles of NN5 and would like the session to be at your home, please get in touch for a quote.
​An hour of dedicated time to you, an informal session to help you process your birth experience with a kind and compassionate ear listening.
​
As a doula, I will hold a safe space to listen whilst you tell your own story. Our birth exploration session can help unpack your labour and birth, and also plan and prepare for any subsequent pregnancy, birth and postnatal experiences you may have in the future.
​
Having someone listen and validate your birth from a neutral standpoint can help you on your way to making peace with your birth experience. I undertake these birth exploration sessions from a trauma informed perspective, having undertaken the Make Birth Better: The Birth Trauma Training Programme.
​
My own experience from my first birth during lockdown means I empathise with the feelings of pain, frustration and injustice birth trauma can cause. I also understand the potential benefits of talking through our experiences first hand, as my own birth exploration session with another local doula helped provide me with closure & go on to achieve my VBAC.
​
My hope is for you to leave our session feeling seen, heard, at ease and further along your path to healing.
