What I offer as your doula for a planned caesarean

Section Subtitle

Overnight Care

As your doula, my role is to offer calm, continuous, and reassuring support before, during, and after your planned cesarean birth. My aim is to help you feel informed, confident, and nurtured—so that your baby’s arrival can be as positive and empowering as possible.

 

Antenatal Preparation – One Personalised Session

We’ll meet for a 2-hour antenatal session, tailored to you—your hopes, questions, and unique needs. This session helps you feel informed and supported as you prepare for your cesarean birth.

 

Together we might explore:

 

  • Understanding the cesarean process – What happens step by step, and how you and your partner can feel grounded throughout.

  • Navigating the maternity system – Knowing what requests you can make, from gentle cesarean practices (delayed cord clamping, skin-to-skin, music, lighting) to communication with your care team.

  • Anchors and relaxation tools – Breathwork, meditation, affirmations, and sensory anchors to create a neurologically calm and centred birth space.

  • Releasing fears and building confidence – Talking through any worries, reframing, and finding tools that support you emotionally.

  • Postnatal preparation – Recovery after surgery, feeding support, bonding, and planning for a smooth transition into your fourth trimester.

 

What's app Support

From the time of booking until 2 weeks after your baby’s arrival, I’ll be available to check in with any questions sign post or offer the best resources and things to support you whole journey. 

You’ll also have access to my Comprehensive Antenatal Guide, Supporting Your Own Birth Workbook, and Postpartum Support Guide.

Support on the Day of Birth

I will be booked in to join you on the day of your planned cesarean. I’ll be by your side as you prepare, and where possible, accompany you into theatre. If theatre access isn’t permitted, I’ll remain close by, supporting your partner and being ready for immediate post-birth support.

 

My role includes:

 

  • Calming presence in the lead-up to theatre.

  • Breathwork and grounding techniques to ease nerves.

  • Advocacy and reassurance as you navigate communication with staff.

  • Support for your partner so they feel confident and included.

  • Immediate post-birth support with skin-to-skin, feeding, and settling into this new chapter.

 

Postnatal Visits

We’ll meet once after birth, with the option for more visits if desired:

 

  • Within a few days – Supporting feeding, skin-to-skin, recovery, and gently reflecting on your birth.

  • Have a call a week or so later – Offering continued feeding guidance, emotional support.

 

 

My intention is to ensure you feel respected, cared for, and supported as you recover and step into parenthood.

The planned Caesarean package is £1100

Can be paid in 1, 2, or 3 instalments, just let me know, we can talk if the fee is inaccessible for you. 

 

This is to support if you need to reset and restore. As you will know the nights after your cesarean can be a long one, as sensations return and you are less able to move around, hold your baby get up and down to the bathroom. Having someone there who is there solely to support you and your baby can make the night so much more settled and allow you the regulating skin to skin time that you and baby need to heal and rest.  

Overnight Care is £250 -350

Depending on timings agreed, equally if there's an agree ment for a few nights we may be able to figure a supportive fee out for all. 

You don’t have to do it all alone. I’m here to make sure you feel held—so you can focus on what matters most: bonding with your baby and caring for yourself.
