As a doula, I support women, co-parents, and families throughout the entire pregnancy. At Wheel of Care, I offer you emotional, physical, and practical guidance, tailored to your unique experience. My role is to be there for you from the beginning of your pregnancy until after the birth, so you can experience this transformation with confidence and support.

Benefits of meeting with a doula

A doula can be a valuable addition during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Through my guidance, you will receive:

•  Emotional support: A listening ear for your fears, expectations, and joys, with space to freely express your feelings..
• Physical care and relaxation: I offer relaxation techniques and body-focused care to help you manage stress, tension, and the physical changes of pregnancy.
• Information and knowledge: I provide comprehensive information about pregnancy, childbirth, the postpartum period, and breastfeeding, so you can make informed decisions. You'll gain insight into the physiology of birth, the needs of both you and your baby, and practical preparations for the delivery.
• Preparation for childbirth: Together, we will create a birth plan tailored to your wishes and expectations, allowing you to experience the birth with confidence and respect for your choices.​
• Support during childbirth: As a doula, I can be present during the birth to provide continuous guidance and emotional and physical support. This can contribute to a positive birth experience.​
• Guidance after birth: The postpartum period can be intense, and I offer support with recovery, breastfeeding, adjusting to parenthood, and creating a safe and loving environment for your baby. ​
