"Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers ~ strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength."

 

— Barbara Katz Rothman

Birth Packages

Three packages. One mission. Getting you to the other side of your birth feeling informed, empowered, and properly supported, whatever that looks like for you.

Whether you've done this before or you're walking into it for the first time, there's a package here that's built for exactly where you are right now.

Every single one comes with my full commitment, my heart, and everything I've got. The difference is in the depth.

After my first birth (hospital, instrumental, far from ideal), my one regret was not hiring a doula who could support my husband and I in advocating for our wishes when we couldn’t. So when I became pregnant again, I knew what my dream requirement was and amazingly we were able to find and hire Hannah for the job.

Let me tell you, it has been one of the best investments of my life and one I will not stop shouting about to anyone who gets pregnant around me.

Hannah is absolutely wonderful, she is full of knowledge and confidence about birth and the wonderful power of women who are supported in the right way. She quickly became a friend because she is also fun and lovely which is bonus and it was always such a joy to see her and learn from her.

All the prep work we did really helped us feel ready for our ideal scenario and gave us tools to navigate possible eventualities.

On the day I went into labour, I am pretty certain that things unfolded the way they did because Hannah was there and because of all the work we did ahead of birth. I am lucky that my birth was everything I wished for and I felt so supported during my quick labour by her and my husband.

Hannah is professional, kind and isn’t scared to get practical. She amazingly got on with all the cleaning of the pool afterwards which was just a gift!

Don’t think twice about getting in touch with Hannah and going for a coffee with her. Birth trauma is awful and having a supported positive birth can be totally life changing!

Been there, birthed that. You know yourself, you trust your instincts, and you're not starting from scratch. You just want someone solid, skilled and fully in your corner ready to support, guide and champion you every step of the way.

Antenatal Support

   ​​

  • 2 antenatal sessions: 4 hours of quality time, space to breathe, to be heard, and to revisit what you already know while filling in the gaps. You'll leave each one feeling clearer, calmer, and more confident in the choices ahead.

  • Support navigating questions, decisions and concerns: Pregnancy can throw curveballs. Knowing I'm right there with evidence-based guidance means you never have to sit alone with a worry, and you'll feel informed and steady no matter what comes up.

  • Birth preferences and postnatal planning: Having your wishes clearly shaped and written gives you control that you will thank you for in the future!. You'll feel centred in your own care rather than swept along by it.

  • Partner preparation: Your partner will feel equipped and confident in how to support you, so you both walk into birth as a team, not two people trying to figure it out on the spot.

  • Access to my vast lending library: Knowing you've got the right resources at your fingertips means less time spiralling down internet rabbit holes and more time feeling prepared.

  • Free use of my birth pool / TENS machine: Physical comfort tools (without the time limit of a rental) that give you more choice and autonomy during labour, so your body can work with more ease and you can stay in your zone.

  • Access to the Practical Doula Shop: Fancy some affirmations or a Labour Comb? They're yours for the taking.

  • 'Doula in your Pocket' virtual support via WhatsApp throughout pregnancy: No question is too small. That quiet reassurance that someone knowledgeable is always a message away means you can exhale a little more, every day.

  • Coffee, cake and lots of getting to know each other: Because trust isn't built in a session, it's built over time. The more comfortable you feel with me, the more freely you'll labour.

​​

  • 24/7 on-call from 38 weeks: From the moment I go on call, you'll feel a shift. A quiet, steady knowing that when things start, you won't be facing them alone. I'm ready before you are.

  • Continuous physical and emotional support throughout your labour: Research consistently shows that uninterrupted doula support reduces fear, lowers the need for pain relief, and helps your body produce the hormones it needs to birth well. You'll feel less afraid, more in your body, and more capable than you imagined.

  • Partner coaching during labour: Grounded in the partner prep we have already done together, your partner will feel purposeful and present, not helpless on the sidelines. And that security ripples straight back to you.

  • Protecting your birth environment and advocating for your wishes: Your birth space belongs to you. Knowing that someone you trust is quietly guarding it, keeping it calm and keeping it yours allows your nervous system to soften in a way that nothing else can. You'll feel safe enough to go somewhere deep, and that's exactly where you need to be, i'll handle the rest.

  • Reminding you of your power: In the hardest moments, I'll be right with you, the voice that reflects back what you're already doing. You'll feel less like you're surviving and more like you're doing it.

  • Staying until you're settled: You won't be left in a blur of adrenaline and uncertainty. I stay until you're comfortable, tucked in, feeding and ready for your 'baby moon'. That transition into new parenthood begins with feeling safe.

Birth Support

Postnatal Support

 

  • 1 postnatal visit ideally within the first two weeks: The early days can feel enormous. Having me come to you, unhurried, present and focused on you, gives you a place to exhale. You'll feel less like you're holding it all together alone, and more like someone truly has you.

  • Emotional space to process and debrief your birth: Birth stays with you. Having the chance to talk through your experience, whatever it was, helps you integrate it, make sense of it, and move forward feeling whole rather than scattered.

  • Practical support tailored to your needs: Whether that's holding the baby while you shower, or quietly tidying the kitchen so you can rest without guilt, you'll feel looked after in the most human, grounding way.

  • Breastfeeding peer support: Continued reassurance and skilled guidance so that feeding feels less like a battle and more like something you're finding your way into, at your own pace.

  • 'Doula in your Pocket' virtual support via WhatsApp for 4 weeks postpartum: The fourth trimester is tender and unpredictable. Knowing I'm still there for the "is this normal?" moments means you won't feel alone in the blur of it.

First time round or needing it done differently, either way, you deserve proper preparation and real support. You've got questions, you've got history, and you've got every right to a birth that feels brilliant.

This is real, unhurried time together, a genuine space for your journey and your questions, and your birth. You'll finish each session feeling more settled in yourself and more ready for what's ahead.

  • Postnatal planning: Thinking through your fourth trimester before birth means you're not figuring it all out in those raw early days. You'll arrive in new parenthood with a plan that feels like a safety net.

  • Rebozo techniques workshop: This is hands on, body level preparation. Learn and practice gentle stretches and techniques that releases tension, supports your baby into a great position, and gives you a felt sense of readiness.

"Hannah is a fantastic doula. From our first meeting she really understood what we wanted and the kind of birth we were trying to achieve. She supported us through the second and third trimesters, always able to help us talk through the choices we were making. We felt really confident and prepared for birth.

During the birth Hannah made us both feel really comfortable. She put my partner at ease, and gave him space to be present in the moment. She dealt with the practical things and supported us to call the midwives when we were ready. As things progressed she was a quiet and calm presence advocating for us when the midwives arrived and protected our space.

After the birth she stayed until we were ready, she just seemed to take care of everything! She supported me with some of the post birth decision making too. In the following days she quietly dropped round snacks and kept checking in to make sure we were doing well. We struggled a lot with feeding and she made sure I was getting the help I needed.

We are so thankful to Hannah for her amazing support and for the lasting impact such an empowering birth has had on our lives."
