Service introduction

Hello and Congratulations! My name is Rebecca Verlander and I am an experienced Doula from London. I have 5 wonderful children and the births that I experienced with them is what ultimately led me to becoming a Doula. I aim to advocate for, empower and educate families to have the best birth experience possible for them. It doesn’t matter to me what sort of birth you’re planning; whether it’s a planned Caesarean birth or a completely natural/holistic birth. What matters to me the most, is how you feel about it afterwards. Over my years working with families. I have unfortunately come across lots of birth trauma. This tends to revolve around decisions being made during the birth which led to the family feeling out of control and like they didn’t have a voice. As your Doula, I advocate for you and boost your confidence about making decisions that are right for you and your baby. Right from the start, I offer absolutely unwavering support. From the moment you book me, you have access to me completely, you can message me with questions or concerns or get a reminder that you are absolutely amazing! Sadly, the UK maternity system is so overstretched and underfunded that you often see different Midwives or specialists each time and have to explain your story again and again. Having a constant companion there from the start can really help you feel supported and cared for. I will know your story, your birth preferences, and how you want things to go. I will ensure that you feel respected and listened to.

IBCLC Lactation Consultation
Face to face support, in the convenience of your own home, allows the time to explore options and any issues arising. I will take a comprehensive history of your pregnancy and birth, including that of any previous children. We can then discuss your current feeding journey and formulate a plan, along with a full of feeding assessment. I have supported hundreds of families with issues such as; nipple pain, milk supply, unsettled babies, breast reduction, slow weight gain, tongue tie and many more. I have extensive experience in tongue tie, previously supporting the running of an NHS tongue tie clinic. Although I am not a tongue tie practitioner, I can perform an initial examination of the oral cavity and explore further options for you, should we suspect a tongue tie. As an IBCLC, I have a toolkit of items that can improve your feeding experience, if needed, these will be available for use only when clearly indicated and are included in the initial cost. The price of the visit also includes a detailed summary email which will convey what we have discussed and a plan, if needed. Virtual and antenatal support is also available, upon request. Video calls will have an additional charge. I am happy to receive photos and videos to help with the feeding assessment. These will be kept confidential, as stated in my terms and conditions.
