Doula Power Hour

The time & space to find your way forward

When pregnancy, birth or baby life starts to feel complicated, one focused conversation can make everything clearer.

You don’t need a big problem to book a Power Hour

People book a Power Hour with me for all sorts of reasons, but their motivation is always the same.

They’re craving clarity and confidence.

That’s exactly where a Power Hour can help.

You might want to use our session to:

• weighing up different birth options
• trying to make sense of conflicting advice
• preparing your partner for labour
• thinking through induction or intervention decisions
• reflecting on a previous birth experience
• planning how postpartum might look for your family
• carrying a question that keeps circling your mind

Or you might arrive with something that feels much bigger.

Both are welcome.

A Power Hour simply gives you the time, space and support to work through whatever is on your mind — and leave feeling clearer about your next step.

Because sometimes one focused conversation is all it takes to move forward.

How does a Power Hour work?

A Power Hour is a focused 60-minute online session where I provide the structure that gives you the time and space to work through whatever is on your mind.

Here’s how it works.

1. You tell me what’s on your mind

Before the session, I’ll send you a few quick questions so I have some background and context on the question, decision or situation you’d like to explore with me.

This helps me to prepare and make the very most of our time together.

2. We unpack the situation

As we go through the session, I’ll use questions to help you unpack and explain the issue that’s brought you to my door.

Together we’ll untangle what’s really going on — the information you’ve received, the options available to you, and what feels important for you and your family.

3. We explore your options

My role here isn’t to tell you what to do.

Using reliable, evidence-based information and relevant, professional experiences, I’ll help you to understand and explore all of the possible options available.

It’ll help you see the bigger picture clearly so you can decide what feels right for you.

4. You leave with clarity and a plan

By the end of the Power Hour, you’'ll feel truly heard, much calmer and more confident about their next step.

Not because I’ve given you the “right answer”.

But because you’ve had the time, space and support to find the answer that feels right.

Is a Doula Power Hour right for you?

If something about pregnancy, birth or baby life feels tangled right now, a Power Hour with me is here to help.

Booking a Power Hour gives you something that can be surprisingly hard to find during pregnancy, birth and early parenthood:

Space.

Space to talk.
Space to think.
Space to explore what feels right for you.

Free of judgement or expectation, supported by someone who really gets it, and who wants you feel confident in the path you feel is best.

You don’t have to do this alone

Looking for the people who get it?

Pregnancy and postpartum are so much easier when you have people around you who understand exactly what life is like for you right now.

That’s why I created two community spaces for parents & parents-to-be in Cornwall to find their feet, their friends and the confidence to move forwards.

Booking a Power Hour is simple.

  1. Just send me an email letting me know you’d like to arrange a session and briefly share what you’d like to talk through.

  2. I’ll reply with my current availability and we’ll find a time that works comfortably for us both.

  3. Once we’ve confirmed your slot, I’ll send over the session details, your short pre-session questionnaire and payment information so everything is ready for our conversation.

  4. You can complete the questionnaire any time before we meet.

  5. Then all that’s left is to arrive at the call with whatever is on your mind.

Sometimes all it takes is one focused conversation to turn a tangle of worries into a clear way forward.
