Overnight Doula Support
Sleep Like a Baby
Having a newborn baby can be exhausting, both physically and mentally as you juggle their round the clock needs with your own. If you’re feeling exhausted and struggling with the lack of sleep, please know that you are not alone and that it won't be like this forever.
​
Sleep is one of our most basic human needs. It allows our brains to function effectively and is vital for our physical, emotional, and mental health and well-being. Rest and sleep are also important for your postnatal healing and recovery. And yet getting enough sleep as a new parent can seem like an impossible task. This is where I can help!​​
As your night doula, I am there to ensure everyone gets as much sleep as possible! ​
​
I will sleep in the same room as your baby, responding to them and caring for them throughout the night, allowing you to get a full nights sleep, knowing your baby is in safe hands and well taken care of.​​
​
Overnight support can be purchased as a one-off service, or we can create a package of more consistent support. It can also be combined with daytime postnatal support.
I am based in Berkhamsted and Tring and cover the surrounding areas in Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, and North London.​
