Birth support, including attending your birth and assisting with your first nursing session. Postpartum support at home as a Lactation Counselor to help with breastfeeding and adjustment. I’d love the opportunity to support you on this

Service introduction

Every birth is unique, and having the right support can make all the difference. As a Birth Doula in training, I provide continuous, compassionate guidance from pregnancy and throughout labor and delivery; helping you feel confident, informed, and empowered. My goal is to support your choices, your pace, and your comfort, whether your birth is at home or in a hospital, with an epidural or unmedicated, C-section or VBAC. I’m here to advocate for you, offer physical and emotional support, and ensure you feel seen, supported, and celebrated every step of the way. I offer prenatal support, birth support and postpartum support with specialised care in Lactation.

I have never hired a doula before, but with this 4th baby and having complicated past births, I knew I needed support with this pregnancy. Thank gd and with Hanna's help, this birth was truly a great and safe experience. As an anxious person, Hanna's approach provided the clarity I need throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. She took care that we looked to my past experiences to prevent complications with this birth. Hanna also took several pictures throughout labor and delivery which I've never had before and cherish today! She has been available round the clock for lactation support and 100% would not be nursing my baby still if it weren't for her guidance!
