Becoming Mum for the first time is everything.
Obviously life-changing for women. Every single woman I have ever spoken to shares with me that it's a mix of emotions; happy yet nervous, excited yet daunting. Throw in a little bit of overwhelm and not sure what to really expect and your head begins to spin.
This online PREPARE + SUPPORT service is solely for First Time mums (and Dads are welcome to join too).
Wanna do a really good job but maybe doubting yourself
You have little or no experience with babies and you maybe wishing you had more family support around?
Bamboozled with the info out there, all which seems to contradict itself.
Not sure where you should be starting getting prepared for the baby, you feel overwhelmed so in the end, avoid it.
Outside of pregnancy you like to feel you have a hold on things, you know what’s happening, when - you also want to feel informed, and ahead of time
You are used to feeling pressure however you notice your mental load is climbing
You want to enjoy your first time as a mum. And do a good job.
You would love you and your partner to be on the same page and getting excited together.
And all this is before the baby arrives, you becoming mum and you are in postnatal life with a newborn.

This 1:1 support package was born out of the idea that we should be supporting women from the very beginning so they can have the best experience going into motherhood. As a first time mum you will have lots of questions, feelings and emotions (likely to be a mixed bag) so support at this time will be key.
From this place of nurture and support, as first time mums, you will be guided and 'held' from pregnancy into your fourth trimester, given oodles of assurance and info when needed.
Let's start strong!

In the early days it can feel like a one way street, so offload and recharge by sharing your story, work through any niggles and let’s find time in the week where you give back to yourself!
Ditch the googling at 2am!
Informed, educated info on what’s showing up for you and how to help.
Trust me to do the very best for you.
I will give some real talk (expectations are key) which will be given with a load of constructive and useful how to’s.
Gain from the sense of community from women going through similar to you.
You will have a safe space to say what you are truly thinking (if and when you feel comfortable to do so).
Sometimes our instincts are muffled so lean on me for a gentle nudge when you are unsure what to do next.
Buckets of assurance to know what you are doing is OK - again this ties in to your instincts and getting confident of your choices.
I am a pragmatic person by nature so full of practical ideas and how to navigate any bumps in the road.
Positivity! We will always find the light Empowered!
A transition until she’s ready to go it alone - next to you til you’re ready to go alone.
This support acts as a safety net until you feel in your flow - as doulas we take a step back when you start to feel differently.
By doing preparation work it will help you avoid the list of reasons why women felt unprepared for motherhood.
You can plan for a birth to a point, what you can plan for is the start to your postnatal life.
I will help you get clear on what to expect baby wise and becoming mum so if and when it shows up, you know to expect and what to do to flow passed.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Given to us in two ways. Experiencing.
The support on offer here will make that transformation smoother, more informed, issues resolved quicker. Offer peace of mind to know the support is there and is willing you to win.
