POSTNATAL DOULA | ALICE MAUTNER

Prices & Packages

A postnatal doula is there to ease the transition into parenthood, offering guidance on newborn care, feeding, sleep, and recovery. Unlike midwives or medical professionals, doulas do not provide clinical care—instead, they focus entirely on the well-being of the family, offering reassurance, advocacy, and hands-on help tailored to each parent's needs.​

Prices & Packages

If you require a bespoke package, I can adjust my services to meet your needs. Contact me for a personalised consultation.

Newborn Baby holding hands
Postnatal Care - £30 per hour

I offer tailored bespoke support, including newborn care, breastfeeding assistance, emotional support, sign-posting and guidance on postnatal recovery.

 

Sessions

Sessions with me can be as short or as long as needed, ranging from 1 hour to a full day. However, the ideal postnatal session typically lasts around 3 hours, though this depends on your specific needs. You can book as many sessions as you'd like each week, but in my experience, 2-3 sessions spread across the week work particularly well for most families.

​

Travel Fees

I will travel to you for our session, however for longer journeys over 45 minutes from my location, I charge £0.45 per mile. Please note that parking permits or charges must be provided when required.

Online Postnatal Support - £170 per month

This package offers convenient, virtual support for new parents who need guidance but may not be able to book in-person sessions. It includes:

​

  • Weekly 30-minute video calls or phone consultations to discuss your needs, offer advice, and answer any questions.

  • Email or messaging support between sessions for quick advice or reassurance.

  • Access to helpful resources, such as new born care tips, recovery advice, and breastfeeding guidance.

Newborn Baby
Caesarean Birth Package - £500

For those having a planned Caesarean, a doula can also act as a birth partner—offering emotional support before, during, and after surgery to help make the experience as calm and positive as possible.

 

This comprehensive package is designed to provide you with the support you need before, during, and after your Caesarean section, ensuring a smoother recovery and transition.

​

  • 1 x Antenatal Session (1.5 hrs): We’ll meet to discuss your birth preferences, address any concerns about the Caesarean section, and plan how I can support you during the process and recovery.

  • Caesarean Section Day Support: I’ll be at the hospital to provide emotional comfort and support and help you feel calm and confident before, during, and after the surgery. * It is most common in hospitals in the UK for women having a planned Caesarean section to only have one person with them in the theatre, making this package especially suitable for women navigating this journey on their own.

  • 1 x Postnatal Session (1.5 hrs): After the Caesarean section, I’ll assist with newborn care, recovery tips, and emotional support to help you adjust to life after surgery and settle in with your new baby.
