Doula Services for Pregnancy, Birth & Postnatal Support
Antenatal Education
My private antenatal sessions give you the knowledge, practical tools and confidence to prepare for birth and early parenthood in a way that feels right for you.
Each session is personalised around your pregnancy, your circumstances and the questions that matter most to you. We can explore birth options, labour, coping techniques, interventions, your birth partner’s role, feeding and those early days with your baby.
Whether this is your first baby or you’ve given birth before, the aim is to help you feel informed, prepared and more confident about the choices ahead.
Hypnobirthing
Hypnobirthing is about much more than breathing techniques. It helps you understand the powerful connection between your mind and body, giving you practical tools to feel calmer, more confident and better prepared for birth.
Together, we explore what you can influence, what may be outside your control, and how to use relaxation, breathing and mindset techniques to support you through different situations as they arise.
These sessions are designed to support all types of birth, helping you feel informed, grounded and confident in the choices that are right for you.
Birth Doula Packages
My birth doula packages offer personalised support throughout pregnancy, birth and the early postnatal period.
Alongside continuous support during labour and birth, I help you prepare antenatally, understand your options and navigate maternity care with greater confidence. The aim is to make sure you feel informed, supported and clear about the choices available to you, whatever path your birth takes.
Postnatal Doula Package
My postnatal support is flexible and can be tailored around what you need, whether that’s a one-off session for reassurance and practical help or regular support during the early weeks with your baby.
I can support you with newborn care, feeding, settling, recovery, emotional wellbeing and those everyday practical tasks that can feel overwhelming when you’re adjusting to life with a new baby.
My role is to help make the postnatal period feel more manageable, giving you calm, non-judgemental support, practical guidance and space to build confidence in your own way.
Overnight Support
Getting enough rest with a newborn can make an enormous difference to how you feel physically and emotionally during the postnatal period.
My overnight postnatal and night nanny support gives you the reassurance of having an experienced professional caring for your baby through the night, allowing you to get the rest you need while knowing your baby is being calmly and attentively cared for.
I can support with feeding, changing, soothing and settling your baby, bringing them to you for breastfeeds if needed and helping with bottles and feeding equipment. My aim is to make your nights feel calmer and more manageable, so you can wake feeling better rested and more able to enjoy the days with your baby.
Support can be arranged for individual nights or as regular overnight care, depending on what works best for your family.
Breast Feeding Package
The early days of breastfeeding can feel both rewarding and overwhelming, and having calm, practical support can make a real difference.
I can help you with positioning and attachment, recognising your baby’s feeding cues, understanding what to expect in the early days and working through common feeding challenges.
My role is to offer reassurance, practical guidance and non-judgemental support while you build confidence in feeding your baby. If you need more specialist breastfeeding support, I can also signpost you to the appropriate professional.
Birth Trauma Resolution
A gentle, supportive approach for anyone who feels affected by a difficult or traumatic birth experience.
Birth trauma resolution work can help you explore and process your experience in a calm and compassionate way, giving you space to reflect on what happened and how it continues to affect you.
The aim is to help reduce the emotional intensity attached to the memory and support you in moving forward with greater understanding, confidence and emotional ease.
What My Clients Say

A Client’s Experience
“Asking Siobhan to be our doula was one of the best decisions we made. Her considerable knowledge, positive and open attitude and calm demeanor really helped us as we prepared for the birth of our first child. We went into the process with a fairly limited understanding and narrow view of what we wanted, and ended up with a much more open approach. The home visits were really useful as well as convenient, and enabled us to better understand the birthing process and the possibilities available to us. During the birth itself, Siobhan’s support was invaluable – she helped us through labour and to think through some critical decisions. Her support with breastfeeding was also unbelievably helpful, and thanks to her guidance I was able to make some simple corrections that has made breastfeeding a success. We are now strong believers in the benefits of having a doula, and are so glad Siobhan was ours.”
