I’m Mel, a Mum of one and a Stepmum of two, living in Herefordshire. I have held an inexplicable and complete fascination with pregnancy and birth since childhood. A personal journey of chronic illness lead me to study Naturopathic Nutrition and Theta Healing (Subconscious belief reprogramming) and I truly believe that the vibrant health of our babies starts with pregnancy and birth.
It’s an honour to support women in such a profound time of their life and I believe how we feel during our birthtime and post postpartum has a profound impact on our mothering journey. When working with clients I marry the spiritual or mystical side of birth with the practical and evidence based knowledge that you need to make the most intuitive yet informed decisions. The mother-baby dyad is at the forefront of my mind, always. My passion is supporting families for the most physiological experience possible and for this reason I chose to only work with women or families planning a homebirth at this time.
I have birth experience working with families in Canada 2019-2021 but I am new to Doula work in the UK.
Because my experience and expertise are varied I am able to tailor make a package for you based on your unique needs.
All packages include the following-
- At least 3 Antenatal meetings for us to get to know each other and talk everything through
- On-Call support day and night for two weeks before and two weeks after your guess date
- 1:1 support throughout your labour and birth
- Whatsapp support through pregnancy
- Signposting to resources you may require
- A Postnatal session to debrief your birth and make sure you and your baby are settled and thriving
