About me

I’m Bea, a birth and postnatal doula based in Tunbridge Wells where I live with my husband and two children. That every woman deserves to experience a birth that empowers them, makes them proud of their body and confident as a mother – to have a positive birth story whether that’s an elective caesarean or a drug free water birth at home, whether it goes to plan or not you can come away with memories to cherish if you are informed, heard and validated. Those precious early days and weeks, the fourth trimester, are moments to be treasured – you need support to create and protect that newborn bubble, to ease the transition to new motherhood (the first, second, third or fourth time) and make the most of that special time.

Service introduction

Packages

Birth doula

3 x antenatal appointments Birth attendance 1 x postnatal appointment Unlimited phone contact from booking until 6 weeks post birth. Following initial enquiry we would schedule a video/ phone call to discuss a few details. I then offer a 1 hour appointment where we can get to know each other a little better, I bring a Letter of Agreement and non-refundable invoice for 50% of the contract to that meeting - the booking is confirmed when that agreement has been signed and invoice has been paid. We would then schedule 2 x 2 hr antenatal consultations to discuss birth plan, location, partners, history etc - these would take place before week 38 of your pregnancy. On call exclusively for you for 4 weeks from 38 weeks of pregnancy** - the remaining balance is due when the on call period starts. Attendance at birth 1 x 1 hr postnatal visit - usually within the first 1-2 weeks after birth Unlimited phone support from booking to 6 weeks after birth *This is the standard package as outlined above, I can offer an extended service if further support is desired **If your birth fell outside of this time I would attend you if possible but may be on call for another client - I do work with a number of like-minded local doulas should, in the unlikely event, I be unable to attend your birth
