Postnatal Doula Support
I offer a safe, non-judgemental space to talk openly about your feelings. Whether it’s birth debriefing, worries about your baby, or the weight of expectations, I’ll listen and help you find clarity and calm.
Emotional Support
How can I support you?
Bringing a new baby home is joyful, but it can also feel overwhelming especially if you’re recovering from birth, your partner is going back to work, and family support isn’t close by.
That’s where I come in. As your postnatal doula, I offer calm, reassuring support for both your practical needs (rest, recovery, household tasks, baby care) and your emotional needs (a safe space to talk, process your birth, and feel less alone).
My role is to walk alongside you, helping you feel more confident, rested, and connected as you adjust to life with your baby.
Baby care
I can look after your baby so you can nap, shower, or eat in peace, knowing they are safe and cared for.
Practical help
Light household tasks such as tidying, laundry or hoovering so you feel like you are not drowning. I can do cooking and meal prep so you feel nourished and you can focus on your recovery and bonding with your baby.
Confidence building and companionship
I’ll answer your “is this normal?” questions, provide gentle guidance, and encourage you to trust your instincts as a parent. Sometimes, what matters most is simply having someone by your side who understands the emotional ups and downs of new motherhood.
Birth Debrief Session
£75
A gentle space to talk through what happened in your pregnancy and your birth experience at your own pace.
We gently unpack your story, how you experiences those moments in your birth and immediate postnatal period.
This is not therapy, we are not fixing, this ia about you being heard by a compassionate listener. This session is run virtually or in person in Frome.
Nurtured Mama Rest + Recovery
From £300
15 Hours of dedicated in person postnatal support to help you in those early days and weeks.
Support is tailored to what you need in that session.
The minimum session length is 3 hours long to ensure you have enough dedicated support to facilitate your postnatal recovery. The sessions can be used daily or weekly.
A full night of rest can change everything. My overnight support gives you the chance to sleep, knowing your baby is cared for with gentleness and love.
Through the night I will comfort and settle your baby, take care of nappy changes, and bring them to you for feeds if you are breastfeeding. If you are bottle feeding, I will prepare and feed your baby so you can rest without worry.
Hours are 9pm-8am
Night doula
£450
Emma was such a great help in those early days postpartum. She was warm and nice to chat to as well as helping with a range of things depending what support I needed. As each day is different she adapted and used her initiative to do whatever was required. It was perfect to be able to have a shower, get a hot coffee and have a tidy kitchen and have the toddler entertained and the baby cared for during this time. I definitely would recommend Emma as a post- natal doula for extra support and breathing space.
