Hi, my name is Anne.  As a Postnatal Doula and Lactation Consultant, my aim is to stack the odds in your favour for you to have a positive and healthy transition into motherhood.  My job is to give you time, care, information and practical help to recover from birth and find your feet as you enter this new stage in your life.  

What does that look like?  It's easy: I will work around whatever your needs are in the fourth trimester while you get acquainted with your little one and find your own path as a parent.  Whether you: 

• need to share your story and emotions around birth and your new role as a mother with someone who will listen without judging;
• could use support with feeding and caring for your baby;
• need a chance to rest and allow yourself to fully recover from birth;
• want to discuss how to deal with the rollercoaster of feelings that you may experience after birth and at the start of this new journey;
• need someone to fill your fridge, bring you a cuppa or prepare regular wholesome family meals;
• have a toddler who could use some extra attention while you nap with your baby;
• desperately want a shower while someone holds your baby;
• would like someone to take charge of some general house tidying or washing;
• … or all of the above and more;

I can be that person for you and am happy to discuss what would be most helpful for you to get the rest and care you need, in order to feel like your best self and transfer those positive vibes to your little one.  It may sound like a luxury, but it really isn’t!  We are not meant to do this alone and every mother deserves to have the support she needs, for her own well-being, that of her baby, her future self, her family, and, yes, I believe ultimately… our whole society! 

If you think you might like me to be your postnatal doula, we can have a chat to see if we are a good match and to discuss your vision for your postnatal period. Whatever your goal is, mine is to help you achieve it!

As a Postnatal Doula and experienced breastfeeding counsellor, I provide help with the normal course of breastfeeding and can guide you to get your breastfeeding journey off to the best possible start.  I can also offer support as an IBCLC (Lactation Consultant) if you are looking for more specialised breastfeeding support or are dealing with more complex feeding issues.  Please visit www.thrivelactationcare.co.uk to learn more about this additional service I can provide.

I hope to meet you soon :)
