doula
ˈduːlə/
noun: doula; plural noun: doulas
a woman who gives support, help, and advice to
another woman during pregnancy and during and after the birth.
From admission through delivery, a doula stays at her assigned patient’s side.
What is a Doula?
I’m often asked ‘what is a doula?’. If you’ve found your way here, maybe you already know.
However, for the uninitiated, we are pregnancy, birth and postnatal support partners who provide emotional, informational and physical support to women during their pregnancy, birth and postnatal period.
A doula offers professional, objective hands-on support, which differs from the assistance of family and friends that are emotionally involved.
Having a doula present during labour and birth helps to keep the process calm, provides a source of knowledge and experience to help the mother through the birth.
Someone to labour with you, either at home and/or hospital, to be with you throughout your entire labour and birth, someone to believe in you 100%, and to help you do the same.
Why have Lilian as Your Doula?
As your doula, I provide nurturing, unwavering assistance, based on my experience over 27 years working with women in labour. I am there just for you.
Whether you are birthing at home, in a birth centre, or a delivery suite, I will seamlessly slot in, working with you and medical caregivers.
From the moment you call me, I will be at your side 24/7 until your bundle of joy arrives.
You are welcome to have a chat to some of the women I have assisted through birth to hear about the value of having me by your side.
Postnatal Doula
After the birth I usually give two or three post-natal treatments.
These sessions are welcomed by new mothers to re-balance you after the birth and help you with the transition into this new journey as a mother.
As a postnatal doula, I understand that bringing your baby home marks an exhilarating yet uncertain phase, often filled with unknowns.
Having spent numerous years as a postnatal doula, I’ve found immense joy in supporting new parents as they embark on this journey.
There’s an incredible reward in witnessing parents nurturing their baby, decoding cues, and building confidence through feeds, swaddling, settling, and bath times.
My collaboration with lactation consultants enables me to guide mothers through various feeding methods, ensuring comfort and confidence, whether it’s breastfeeding or bottle feeding.
Your family’s individual needs are my priority, and I’m committed to providing tailored care to ease your transition into parenthood.
With a calm, confident approach and extensive experience in assisting new families, I’m dedicated to being your support system during this transformative phase.
FAQ
What will Lilian do if she is my doula?
Following initial discussions and agreements to engage Lilian as a doula, she will meet with you for 3 visits, before the birth, to establish a relationship and to discuss your preparation for birth, strategies and your vision.
If you should need anything or have any concerns, Lilian will be just a phone call away.
At the onset of labour (pre-labour)- you will let Lilian know.
From the time Lilian arrives, she will stay with you, providing encouragement and practical assistance. Lilian uses massage, breathing techniques, shiatsu, bowen and her personal hands on tool-kit of experience to help manage pain and to ease labours progression.
Lilian will “hold” the space in which you birth and will remain with you until after the third stage of labour-(well after the baby has been born and you, the parents, have settled)
