Postnatal doula services Colchester
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.

I’m Ginny, an accredited Doula UK postnatal doula, 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.​
Postnatal doula sessions in your home
​
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 or cuddle 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
-
Look after 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
-
Help you and your family feel more relaxed knowing you have an extra pair of hands to ensure your day goes a little smoother
​
Every session looks different, and if you’re not sure what you need yet, that’s ok. We can work it out together.

Virtual postnatal support
I offer online postnatal support for mums who want a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through. A chance to discuss where you're at, how you're feeling, without opinions, and with someone who has been there personally, and is there supporting new mums day to day.
£29 for 45 mins
£80 for 3x 45 minute sessions.
​
​
​I offer a free, no-pressure 20 minute chat 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.
