Post-Natal Support
This can be a very new place where emotions are high and support is vital. This is an incredible period of time in which Katinka will work with you and your partner on creating an environment where you can enjoy and feel fully supported on your journey with your new baby/babies.
​
This support is very flexible and is designed to cater for the family’s needs which all vary from family to family.
​
To give you an idea of what it can include but not limited to:
​
-
Talking through your birth story
-
Breastfeeding support
-
Helping with baby while you shower, have something to eat, have a walk etc
-
Having someone to talk to
-
Answering any questions and/or helping with concerns
-
Help research local resources
-
Making you lunch or dinner
Katinka was absolutely everything I needed at my birth, her intuition was spot on and I felt very contained by her. She was always there and knew exactly what I needed

About: Doulas
A Doula is someone who supports families emotionally, physically and mentally through pregnancy, labour and post-natally. A Doula is a consistent presence during this time and is there for the family to build a trusting and supportive relationship.
Having support, and being supported
As a Doula, I offer non-biased and non-judgmental support aiming for women and families to feel more empowered with whatever birthing option they choose. I trust birth and want to bring the power back to women advocating for their rights within this sacred time.
I believe that every woman should be allowed to make choices in this time and she will help put informed choices into practice.
​
Most of all, I want every family who is expecting a baby or babies, to feel as if they did all they can to have an empowered birth and look back with no regrets.
​
I also work with the same ethos after birth in the post-natal stage. Sometimes it’s good to have that extra support in this time and someone to talk to about your birth story. I am also passionate about breastfeeding and if this option is something a woman chooses, she will support her as best she can as a Doula.
