Postnatal doula services
Imagine...
A warm bath without interruption. A proper nap. A hot cup of tea. Someone to talk to when things feel tough.
That’s what postnatal doula support can give you - practical help, emotional support, and a calm, consistent presence as you navigate life with your newborn.
What to expect from postnatal doula support
I know how it feels to bring home a new baby. Everything has changed, and suddenly you're expected to keep up with the world while learning how to care for your baby and recover from birth.
​
We used to have a village to support us - now we need to rebuild that village for ourselves.
​
As your postnatal doula, I’m here to lighten the load, help you feel more confident, and make sure you don’t have to do it all alone.
​

Every family’s needs are different, and your needs might even change day to day. Here's how I might support you in a session:
​
-
Watch your baby while you rest, eat, shower, or attend appointments
-
Be a listening ear for whatever’s on your mind - or celebrate your wins!
-
Prepare food, make you a cup of tea, and ensure you get time to enjoy them
-
Support older siblings while you bond with your baby - or vice versa
-
Offer infant feeding support (breast or bottle) as a trained coach
-
Accompany you to appointments or join you for a supportive walk
​
Every session looks different, and if you’re not sure what you need yet, that’s ok. We can work it out together.
​
I’m a mentored doula with Doula UK, trained through Younique Postnatal, working across Colchester and North Essex/Suffolk. I offer gentle, non-judgemental, flexible support for up to a year after birth.

Choosing the right postnatal doula is personal. I always recommend chatting with a few of us to find the right fit.
​
I offer a free, no-pressure 30-minute chat—in person, by phone, or video.
​
Support doesn’t have to be booked in advance. Some parents wait until baby arrives, or when a partner returns to work. I support families up to a year postpartum.

"Ginny was a great help during the early days with our newborn. She is very easy to get along with, flexible in her support, knowledgeable, and warm-hearted when you need it most after birth. You can see Ginny has a genuine passion for helping families navigate post-natal life, which my baby and I felt while she was supporting us. We highly recommend Ginny, and any family will be lucky to have her help"
