You have chosen my SUPPORTED PREGNANCY, BIRTH & POSTPARTUM Package & I’m so excited to officially welcome you into doula support 🤎
I feel genuinely honoured to be supporting you & your partner through pregnancy, birth & those tender early postpartum days, & I can’t wait to be a steady, reassuring presence for you along the way.
There’s a bit of information below, so pop a little flag on this page so you can keep it handy for later.
Here's what you can expect as we head into this very special chapter together ↓

Doula Dates
This is where we get to hang out 🤎
Our structured sessions usually fall around 26 weeks onwards & are best booked fortnightly or three-weekly so we finish by 34–36 weeks.
They are typically held in your home. It would be really great if you both attend each session so we can work together as a team.
And just so you know, regardless of our scheduled sessions, you have me as part of your birth team from now. That means WhatsApp messages, voice notes, appointment check-ins, whatever you need. Use that support as little or as much as you like. Please never hesitate to reach out with questions, updates, or worries.
My response times during the week are usually quite quick. On weekends I try to be more present with my family, so replies may be a little slower.
If there are time clashes
Supporting you well matters a lot to me. Occasionally, I may need to reschedule a session if I feel I wouldn’t be able to show up fully, with the energy & presence you deserve. This could be because I’ve just attended a birth & need recovery time, I’m unwell, one of my children is sick, or I’m attending another family who needs urgent support.
Sometimes this can be last-minute, which is simply the nature of this work & of being a mum myself, something I know you’ll understand. I will always communicate openly & give as much notice as I can, & sessions are never cancelled outright, they’re always rescheduled so you receive the time you’ve booked with me.
I respect your time too, & I understand that life can change quickly on your end as well. Where possible, please give as much notice as you can. There are no cancellation fees, we’ll simply find another time that works for both of us.
Scheduling Doula Dates
We’ll meet five times before birth:
-
4 x 1 hour sessions to work through your preferences & get to know each other.
-
1 x 2 hour partner support session (in-person, with massage, acupressure, positions & comfort measures)
Book sessions for when you are roughly:
26-28 weeks
28-30 weeks
30-32 weeks
32-34 weeks
34-36 weeks (partner support session)
Please book 4 x 1hr sessions at this link
Please book 1 x 2hr session here
(Bookings can only be made up to 3 months in advance so if you're still in the earlier stages of pregnancy, there's still heaps of time & don't worry, I wont book out)
After 36 weeks we can phone chat or talk in What'sApp if anything comes up or we can meet again if there are things you need to work through etc. Please note extra sessions on top of our 5 sessions can be booked through this link & an extra cost of $350 will apply. Once you have purchased extra sessions, we can coordinate the timing to suit you best.
Postpartum support
Your package includes 2 postpartum care visits, you have up to 6 weeks to use your visits.
I often like to do the first visit within the first week after birth, with the second around week 2-3 when you're a little more settled, but these can absolutely be flexible depending on how your journey unfolds & what feels best for you & the support you desire.
Feedback & communication
One of the beautiful things about doula support is that we get to spend a good stretch of time together. Like any meaningful relationship, good communication is key. I welcome feedback at any point. If you want more or less touch points, or specific desires or something to feel different, please tell me.
This is your journey, & I’m here to support you in the way that feels best for you
Intake form
When you have a quiet moment & a little headspace, I’d love you to fill out the intake form. This is your chance to really reflect on your birth hopes, preferences, & anything you’re carrying into this experience. The more you share, the more meaningful & supportive our Doula Dates before birth can be.
Here is the Intake Form Link
And now...
I know this has been a lot to take in, so I’ll leave it here for now. Please reach out anytime if questions pop up, & remember… you now have a doula in your back pocket 🤎
I’m here for you & your family through it all
Love, your birth coach, Bonnie 🤎
Oh actually, one more thing, here are some birth videos that’ll boost your oxytocin :)
