Absolutely Delicious and Totally Luxurious Doula Care and Birth Photography Complete Package

This absolutely delicious package not only covers luxuriant Doula Care and Birth Story Photography but it ALSO has the bonus of two stunning photography sessions throughout out journey together, a Maternity session, and a newborn session. This is the Package for a Goddess. It is complete and total luxury and care and photos.

It begins with a phone or video call, to touch base and simply connect with each other. It is important we both like and feel comfortable with each other. We then move on to a meet-up consultation over tea or coffee to discuss your dreams, and vision birthplan and preferences on a deeper level, and get to know each other better.

I use my wisdom and experience intuitively to help support you mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically through your pregnancy , labour and birth and postpartum. I am guided by the depth of my knowledge of undisturbed birth and about you.

We have 4 sessions throughout your pregnancy, usually meeting in your home, and I am available by phone or text in between.

Our sessions include:

How to make the right decisions for you through pregnancy, physiological birth and what that looks like, birth trauma support (if you have had a previous experience) what women most need during labour, understanding your birthing lineage, comfort measures and strategies, the golden shield, Birth vision session, a post partum visioning session and much more.

Between 32-36 weeks we meet for a Maternity Shoot in a place in nature or at home. This includes 25 plus specially-edited photos delivered through an online gallery ready to print and share.

I believe birth works, and that it is a normal and natural event that has a deep and lasting impact on a woman’s life. I can’t guarantee how your birth will turn out, but I can guarantee to offer my wisdom and emotional support in the case something doesn’t quite go as you imagined it.

I honour your partner and the connection you share together throughout the process and work with you both as a team- I’d like to share at least one session together, and one with your midwife as the Birthing Support team for you.

I am present at your labour from the point you consider you need some extra support, loving hands , gentle wisdom or another pair of hands until your little one is snuggled in your arms. My support can range from very practical hands-on things such as keeping the birth pool warm, or massaging you, to more mental and emotional support such as counselling and fear release.

I am on call for you from 38-42 weeks and during this time, you (and my daughter) are my top priority. I’ll be present for you in this time, as you need me, and also carefully present with you in the first weeks of your babies life, this can be a big transition.

This package includes 2 one-on-one postpartum sessions, either in person or by phone/video call including birth story sharing and processing, magical fairy cleaning and tidying of your sacred space, support with other children, breastfeeding, co-sleeping, babywearing, attachment parenting and elimination communication, wisdom sharing, making tea, holding your baby while you shower, and anything else you might wish for. I bring a meal each time I come so you dont have to cook.

Birth Story Photography includes- 50+ photographer-chosen, specially edited black& white and colour images telling the unique story of your labour and birth presented in an online, downloadable gallery.

This Luxurious Package also includes a Newborn Session, an unposed beautiful moment in time- where they will never again be so tiny!

Each package is tailored to meet your own individual needs, and wishes, and is intuitively guided. I treasure and honour you: with offerings such as a care package, fresh flowers or little treats.

Investment is $3599 : 50% due on booking and 50% due before your 36th week, or if it suits you better we can also arrange a payment plan

If for some serious or predetermined reason I am unable to make it I will organise a backup doula to support you.
