Question 1

When will you be on call for me?

Accepted Answer

I will be on call for you from 38 weeks, until your baby is born so you can contact me at any hour of the day or night whenever you go into labour.

Question 2

How many clients do you take on at a time?

Accepted Answer

I currently only take on 2 births a month, including my photography clients. This is because I’m on call from 38 weeks and it is my highest priority to be available for all of my clients when they go into labour and also support them during their labour for as long as they need. As your doula, I will be on call for you from 38 weeks, until your baby is born so you can contact me at any hour of the day or night whenever you go into labour.

Question 3

Do you offer payment plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes!! I want to make sure this is affordable for you! If you need to talk to me about a payment plan then please don’t hesitate. I know birth support is well worth the investment, for both you and your baby.
Gift vouchers are also available so why not ask your friends and family to contribute as a baby blessing gift.

Question 4

When is the final payment due?

Accepted Answer

The final payment is due before 36 weeks.

Question 5

How many times do I see you before I go into labour?

Accepted Answer

We will have 3 antenatal sessions together so we have lots of time to get to know each other and go over your birth wishes. You also have 24/7 access to me via phone or email so you can contact me during anytime of your pregnancy.

Question 6

When will you arrive?

Accepted Answer

I can arrive whenever you need support. Sometimes this can be during early labour or active labour, it just depends on how you are doing. We keep in close contact in the last few weeks of pregnancy and you update me whenever you start having early signs of labour. Once your labour starts to progress then I will come whenever you would like me to arrive.

Question 7

How long do you stay after the birth?

Accepted Answer

I usually stay for around two hours after your baby is born. This time is precious and often passes quickly, filled with moments like skin-to-skin, breastfeeding, baby checks, and sometimes even your first shower if you're feeling up to it. I’m there to support you and your partner, helping with anything you need and making sure you're settled and cared for as you begin this beautiful new chapter.

Question 8

What areas do you service?

Accepted Answer

I am based in Wollongong and I currently service clients across the Illawarra and Shoalhaven areas . If you are unsure if I service your area then please reach out.

If you are wanting to book in with me but aren't in the areas that I normally service then you can pay an additional travel fee.
