My Doula Package
I have been trained by the Australian Doula College, which I found to be the most comprehensive training course for doulas in Australia.
Trained face to face by the founder and director of the college, Renee Adair, I believe I have aquired many skills and knowledge to assist you during your pregnancy, labour, birth and during the early post-natal period.
I have learnt that the best training is being amongst women in all situations, I have gained more knowledge and confidence through working with my clients. Each birth is different and brings with it it's own set of challenges. I know that I will never stop learning, and this is why I love doing what I do!
My experience includes supporting natural births, planned caesarean births, emergency c-sections, VBAC's and babies that have special medical requirements. I have supported women planning hospital, birth centre and home births.
I am a certified and accredited doula and hold a Cert IV in Doula Support Services.
I am a current member of the Australian Doula College and abide by their strict Code of Practice and Ethics.
I also hold a current First Aid Certificate from St John's Ambulance and a current Working with Children check.
I am also a certified Child Birth & Early Parenting Educator and I also facilitate independent Childbirth & Parenting Workshops which are held in the Southern Highlands, NSW.
Please feel free to visit the Australian Doula College website: www.australiandoulacollege.com.au
The Standard Doula package consists of:
- Obligation free meeting to get to know one another. You will get to ask questions and will soon know whether I am the right doula for you or not.
- 2-3 Prenatal visits. We will discuss what your birth preferences are, fears and anxieties, prepare a birth plan (or wish list) and help you relax into labour.
- Phone and email support leading up to your labour to help reassure you.
- Be "on call" for 4 weeks, this being 2 weeks before your due date and 2 weeks after (38-42 weeks).
- Attending your birth from when you feel you need support. This may be when you go to the hospital or earlier in your own home.
- $100 DISCOUNT on placenta encapsulation packages!
- Two post natal visits to de-breif with you and your partner on your birthing experience and support your transition into parenthood.
You will also have access to my extensive library of pregnancy, labour, birth and baby care books, as well as numerous articles on studies conducted to help you make decisions that best suit you and your lifestyle.
Total Package Cost - $2500* (Payment plans** are available)
*Extra travel fee may apply to clients out of the service radius. **Payment plans incur a 5% administration fee
Extras:
Birth Preference Consultation & Preparation - $150
Let me help you prepare your birth preferences (birth plan). Includes a 1 hour consultation, to discuss your needs. I will then type your preferences up in an easy to read laminated document ready to hand to your care providers.
Birth Pool Hire - $200 for first 2 weeks, and then $25 per week there after.
Includes delivery and set up of pool and clean up and collection. Not just for home births, but can also come in handy for early labour or for people who do not have a bath. Includes one brand new hygenic pool liner, hose and tap fittings.
Belly Casting- $100*
Perfect to remember how big that belly really was. This makes a beautiful wall hanging. Artwork charged separately.
Blessingway Hosting- $200
A blessingway is a lovely intimate affair where close female friends and family come to honor the pregnant women. Rather than showering the mother with gifts for the baby (as in a baby shower), women join together to pamper the expectant mother and celebrate her journey into motherhood.
Labour & Birth Photography- $100*
A perfect way for the parents to remember this special time. Beautiful photos taken as your labour journey progresses, as baby is emerging and the first moments after birth. These photos will be cherished forever. All photos are taken without the use of a flash were possible. Photo's are edited and loaded onto a CD for you to print if required.
Post-Natal Service - $50 per hour/min 3 hours per visit.
Do you need some extra support during the first weeks after birth? Maybe you needed a caesarean, had multiples or just need some extra time to recover. I can come and help with day to day house jobs including general cleaning, ironing, washing, cooking meals, shopping or running errands. I can also come and help you with your new baby (or babies). Perhaps you need help with settling techniques, breastfeeding support or maybe you need someone to watch your baby while you have a rest.
Child Birth Education - $400
Would you like one on one childbirth education in the privacy of your own home? I can come and teach you all you need to know! I can tailor an individualised workshop for you and your partner. Contact me for more info.
