£750
This is my ‘if the stars align’ option for birth support, exclusively available to clients I’ve worked with for a minimum of four hours antenatally (Essentials package upwards).
With this option, I won’t officially be on call for you 247, but if you call me in labour and my availability aligns, I will attend your birth. I’ll observe a lighter on-call period - staying nearby and contactable - but without the full commitment of round-the-clock availability.
If this feels right for you, you would pay the total amount of £750 which is made up of a non-refundable £250 retainer fee and an additional £500 fee if I attend the birth. If I don’t attend the birth I will immediately refund the £500 (this is kept in a separate pot from my main account for easy access). The reason I do it this way is simply to avoid sending an invoice in your postnatal period, as its probably the last thing on your mind, but I’m also totally open to discussing this and offering an altetnative if needed.
Please get in touch to discuss.
In today’s maternity context, many people feel disconnected from their birth experience, unheard or unsure of their options. Many even come away carrying trauma, which can have long-lasting effects.
Working with a doula is not about finding someone to rescue you. It’s about having someone by your side who believes in you, who helps you find your voice and who holds space for you to make the choices that feel right for you and your baby.
The benefits are both emotional and practical. Research shows that having a doula present can lead to shorter labours, fewer interventions and a more positive birth experience. But it also goes deeper: continuity of care, emotional support, advocacy and a calm and steady presence that helps you step into your power.
In postpartum, having someone hold you as you adjust to new parenthood and reminding you of your power to make the right decisions for you and your family is invaluable - helping you feel seen, supported and nurtured in one of life’s biggest transformations.
It’s hard to put into words, but Mandy’s presence and support reminded me I wasn’t alone and it was ok to want or not want specific interventions or outcomes and really that I was actually doing the right thing for my baby. If you’re pregnant and looking for someone who can gently support you, help explore your options and listen without judgment I really can’t recommend her enough.
Choosing Me As Your Doula
Working with a doula is such a personal decision. If you invite me into your birth space, I want you to feel comfortable, safe and confident in my support. Here’s how the process looks when we work together:
1. Initial Consultation
We start with a free consultation so we can get to know each another. You’ll get a sense of who I am, how I work and whether we ‘click.’ I’ll ask about your hopes and needs - and you can ask me anything. I’ll also always encourage you to speak with other doulas before making your choice - it’s so important you feel completely at ease with whoever you invite into this sacred space.
2. Securing Your Spot
If we decide to move forward together, you’ll pay a non-refundable deposit (usually 25% of the fee) to secure my support. I’m happy to discuss payment plans if that makes things easier - we’ll figure out what works best for you. I’ll send you a contract to read over before you pay the deposit to make sure you’re comfortable.
3. Antenatal Sessions
This is where our relationship really builds. For full packages, we’ll usually have 4–5 sessions in your home and for the essentials package at least 2. These sessions are a mix of learning, planning and simply being heard and will be tailored to your needs. I can also attend antenatal appointments if required as part of this time together if you feel you need support in navigating those.
Together we’ll explore things like:
Birth physiology
Evidence-based information
Your rights, choices and boundaries
Tools for advocacy and self-advocacy
Birth partner and doula support and what that looks like
We will also have lots of honest conversations about your hopes, fears and any barriers you feel are in your way. We will have open and honest deep conversations and you will be listened to and held.
4. On-Call From 10 days pre ‘Due Date’
From 10 days before your ‘due date’ until your baby is born, I’m officially ‘on call’ for you - day and night. When labour begins, you can call me anytime and I’ll come to you quickly. Often I’ll join you at home first (even if you’re planning a hospital birth), and then travel with you if needed. I’ll stay with you for as long as you want me there - sometimes that’s throughout, sometimes I step back and return later - this is based on what feels right. My support is led by you. I’ll be with you as you birth your baby and into those first sacred hours, staying until you’re settled, comfortable and ready for me to slip away.
5. Postnatal Support
Every package includes a birth debrief - a chance for you to tell your story, process what happened and feel truly heard. With my full package, I’ll also visit in the first 4 weeks postpartum (or for four weeks starting when you want), offering emotional support, practical help, feeding support and an extra pair of hands if you need it. If you’d like to extend postnatal care, we can always discuss this depending on my availability.
