My name is Naomi Owen and I am a postnatal doula in Twickenham.
My role as a postnatal doula is completely dependent on your family's needs and together we will discuss what works best for you. I can do some light housework, groceries, cook a meal or help with the other children, but most importantly, I am there to help and empower the new mum. I can offer you emotional support whether you need an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on or just some company. Rest is also very important and I will very happily look after your baby whilst you take a well-deserved nap or a bath. I can also help you with breast or bottle feeding and provide information on local support groups and activities.
As your postnatal doula, I am happy to provide:
- emotional support, listening and disussing issues about your birth or early parenting
- feeding support
- baby-care, including bathing, winding, nappy changing etc
- taking care of your baby whilst you shower, rest, eat etc
- coming with you to baby clinics, doctor's appointments, breast-feeding drop-in clinics etc
- help with looking after older children
- general tidying & light housework
- cooking & baking with older siblings
- helping with shopping and light errands
As a mentored postnatal doula I charge £10 per hour.
