My Services

Feeling empowered and supported throughout your pregnancy journey is essential.

My commitment as your doula is to be a calming presence and together we can create a safe space for you to express your hopes and worries, to find answers to your questions and help advocate for you.
This can include helping you prepare for a positive birth experience and adjust to parenthood.

You won't have to face this journey feeling lost, lonely or overwhelmed.

I offer personalised support throughout your pregnancy, birth, and as you become parents, always tailored to your unique needs.
Below is an outline of my most common package, but we can of course tailor an offer to your preferences.

I can offer __KG Hypnobirthing and Body Ready Method __ training as add-ons to the doula package, or as stand alone services.

"I felt very cared for by Elin, from the moment she arrived.

She breathed with me, massaged my back, held space for me and encouraged me when I reached a moment where I felt like I couldn't go on. I genuinely don't think I could have had a better birth experience and Elin played a monumental part in that."

“I felt as prepared as I could be, the resources you provided, information, podcasts , books, conversations, changed my entire understanding of pregnancy, birth, motherhood! I felt 100% supported during pregnancy, birth and post birth and your support was gentle, intuitive, caring, open and honest. Just a beautiful relationship. It was most amazing, I didn’t expect to get as much value as I did and would highly recommend working with Elin for any mum to be. It changed me as a woman.“

Postnatal Doula

Mothering the mother

As your postnatal doula I can help you with your baby’s care and look after your baby while you sleep, do some light house chores, cook delicious yet healthy, nutritious meals, walk the dog, do shopping, or some organising to make you’re life easier whilst you care for your newborn child.

Unlike a maternity nurse, as your postnatal doula I'm not there to take care of the baby for you, rather I will be there to support you in being the parent you want to be!

"The postpartum support was nothing short of a lifeline.

I truly don't think I would have gotten myself through those first postpartum months without her. She looked after me so deeply, helping me rebuild myself until I felt like me again, while also taking such amazing care of my daughter. I'm endlessly grateful to her and miss her incredibly."
