Prenatal Visits

“A doula's presence is an anchor for the birthing family, providing a safe and secure environment for the new life entering the world” — Penny Simkin

What is a Prenatal Visit?

Prenatal visits are an essential part of preparing for your birth experience. While you are doing the hard work of growing your beautiful baby, I’m here to lend a hand in creating a clear plan.

Just like you would meticulously plan for your wedding over several months with the help of a wedding planner, I’m here to guide you through your birth planning journey. These meetings are designed to help us get to know each other better and establish a strong foundation of support and trust.

We will explore your priorities, fears, and expectations for labour, and plan how we can best work together. Together, we will review your preferences for labour and birth, your understanding of the birthing process, and your personal coping strategies for pain, fatigue, and challenging situations.

It’s also a time to clarify your expectations of your partner, myself, and anyone else attending the birth. The more we explore these topics in advance, the better I can support you in achieving a fulfilling and satisfying birth experience as you define it.

Each visit is tailored to your unique needs, ensuring that you feel empowered and informed as we create your personalised birth map. We will explore various tools and techniques to prepare you for your big day.

By the end of our prenatal visits, I will be your Birth Bestie. I’ll know what you want and, most importantly, what you do not want as support during this transformative journey.

As I believe that you should be in the driver’s seat, here’s how it works with me: You choose exactly what fits your needs. All of my packages are customisable, remove what you don’t want, and add whatever else you need.
