Comprehensive Package
The comprehensive care package is the most complete package available. You will receive care from booking your pregnancy at around 8 weeks until your baby is 6 weeks old. And now you get exclusivity too. No other clients due at the same time as you.
The appointments follow the NHS/NICE guidelines schedule with extra appointments to build a strong trusting relationship between us and to allow for the extra treats I have in store for you. Appointments are generally around 2 hours long and they are a mixture of clinical, birth preparation, and general conversation. I now offer a biomechanics course in all my packages with a brand new rebozo for you that you can also use to carry your baby.
Postnatal appointments are also up to 2 hour long with plenty of time for breastfeeding support, baby checks and learning about responsive parenting through baby carrying, co-sleeping, elimination communication and cloth nappies. If you are experiencing breastfeeding difficulties I will involve a lactation consultant free of charge who will see you face to face and provide online follow up for two weeks.
Birth can be planned at home or in hospital but please note that I cannot offer direct clinical care at a hospital setting but I can support you with decision making and coping strategies. I will be available for you by phone or text anytime during working hours.
Mileage included up to 1 hour or 50 miles.
