THE BIRTHKEEPER PACKAGE
Holistic support aimed to fully guide and prepare you for birth.
I will hold space for you during this sacred journey as I believe in your innate ability to birth your baby. You will receive continuity of care throughout pregnancy, birth and your immediate postpartum, as I walk alongside you and your chosen birth partner. I will support you both; creating a strong birthing team, providing you with evidence-based information and supporting you in making autonomous choices around your labour & birth.Â
MY BIRTH PACKAGE INCLUDES:
- Physiological birth education through 3 x 2 hour birth preparation sessions.
- On going support & regular check ins through pregnancy.
- Access to my library of pregnancy, birth & parenting preparation books.
- On-call from 38 weeks.
- When you go into labour I will be ready to join you as and when you need me. I’ll leave when you are settled and feel ready for me to do so.
- My support during your birth will be led by you. I do not provide medical advice but I’ll be on hand to offer emotional and physical support, comfort measures including breath work and massage and practical support including preparing the birthing space and liaising with midwives if you choose to have them present. Support during labour looks different for everyone, we can discuss how you would like me to support you during our birth preparation sessions.
- One 2 hour postnatal session to check in and see how you’re doing. We can discuss your birth and how it went and I’ll be on hand to offer breast-feeding support, discuss self-care options and newborn care.
- Remote support during the first 6 weeks where I will be available to hold space for you to discuss the changes you are experiencing.
I have completed the Doula UK recognition process. You can view my profile here.
There is absolutely no doubt that Sophia not only helped shape our birth experience into one that felt positive and supported but that she was completely instrumental in us having the home brith that we hoped for. We truly feel that we wouldn't have been able to do it without her. She was such a calming and reassuring presence whilst being an unwavering advocate when needed. Highly, highly recommend.Â

I struggle to put into words how much gratitude I have for connecting with Sophia. At a time when there was so much uncertainty, worry and doubt in my mind around what may happen in the world, my relationship and my birth, she came along and literally confirmed everything I needed to hear in order to make my decisions with complete confidence and positivity.Â
We did birth prep where she was thorough and informative, she was present for my whole labour and birth, she held such a beautiful space for me in my home and visited us postnatally too.Â
