MUMMABABY PACKAGES & FEES
'Sam is one of the warmest, kindest, calmest people you’ll meet. She’s perfectly suited to being a postnatal doula - she has a wealth of information to tap into, whilst at the same time listening to you and what you need, and honouring the way that you want to be as a mother.'

I charge £22 per hour and work a minimum of three hours per day, preferably mornings.
It is important for all tentative plans and timings to be kept fluid to suit Mumma's needs each day.
First meeting
This is FREE.
A chance to find out more about how a post natal doula can help and support once baby arrives..
Chemistry is a huge part of a mummy doula relationship so this is a great opportunity to see if we are a good fit.
I am happy to work alongside or take over from a birth doula, or as part of a team of post natal doulas.
Pre Birth Meeting
If there is time it can be useful to get together to discuss a flexible Post Partum Plan.
I can send you my Postnatal planing notes prior to this and we can discuss how I can best help you and your family create your ideal space to heal and adjust, as well as practical things I can do to aid restoration, nurturing and recovery and help empower parents to feel confident.
This is usually a 3hr session for £60
Pre Baby Post Natal Prep
One or two sessions where I can familiarise myself with your home, other children, pets etc, as well as cook for the freezer, make snacks to have ready and spend some time preparing together
(This is charged at my usual hourly rate of £22 p.h)

'The video calls have been invaluable. My son was born on 27th May 2020 and we ended up staying in hospital for 6 days due to breathing difficulties where he had to be put onto oxygen in special care. I had a very emotional chat with Sam from the hospital and it helped so much.
We had weekly video call check ins and these were incredibly helpful. Things change so much during those early days and it helped me hugely to be able to voice my feelings, concerns and give them room to breathe. Sam has also provided amazing practical help as well as emotional support. Don’t dismiss the power and value of virtual support from a postnatal doula - it can honestly make the world of difference in those early days.'

'
Sam has been an absolute godsend - it has been such a tough transition from mummy of one energetic toddler to mummy of two and I really needed some extra support. Just having someone checking in regularly, making sure we were well fed, washing actually folded and a little hands free time to have a bath, etc has all been so essential. Sam offers all that with a loving, kind and reassuring personality that makes you feel so at ease on the darkest of days. I would recommend her and having a post natal doula in general to anyone!'
