HOLISTIC BIRTH DOULA IN LYTHAM
Hi, I'm Demi Juniper
I had a VBAC at 42 weeks on my terms, my baby was born peacefully in the water and in that moment I felt on top of the world.
I'm a mother of two, holistic birth and postpartum doula and photographer.
I specialise in supporting mothers planning VBACs, home births, free births, and those choosing to birth outside of guidelines, especially when they’ve been labelled “high risk” and feel like their dream birth is slipping away.
Because you know deep down there's another way to birth a way that feels less like following policies and more like following your instincts. And I'm here to support you every step of the way.
You want a wise woman who will remind you to trust your intuition, your innate ability to give birth to your baby and prepare for a birth where you feel excited, and rooted in your decisions even if things don't go as expected.
Together we will work through your fears, past experiences, desires and your dream birth so you feel prepared to enter birth with clarity and confidence.
You're not willing to "go with the flow" or wing it with a cheap online course, you feel ready to learn more and truly go into depth 1:1 with a wise birth woman who has supported hundreds of women to become truly informed, empowered and prepared for their birth.
How you feel about your birth matters and together we will explore every avenue of birth, so you feel truly ready for this rite of passage.
What your birth preparation with me looks like
Birth unraveled
An opportunity to unpack how you really feel about birth. What narratives and beliefs about birth do you hold onto? If you've had a previous birth we will have a debrief to explore how it all unfolded and what you do and don't want to carry into this birth. You'll come away feeling lighter and discovering more about yourself.
Planning your dream birth
Imagine the day you meet your baby, what does that feel like? Where are you as birth unfolds? Who is by your side supporting you? Together we will discuss what your dream birth looks like and explore how to make that a reality. What is really important to you and why?
Tools and tips tailored directly to your own experience whether you're choosing to birth within the NHS or out of the system.
Preparing for postpartum
Preparing for the fourth trimester is just as important as pregnancy and birth. This is an energetically, physically and emotionally transformative experience. How does postpartum look like for you? What do you need to ensure you feel rested, restored and ready to embrace the early weeks with your baby? From nutrition, feeding and practical support we will create a plan together.
What happens when birth doesn't go to plan
Preparing for when things don't go as planned, exploring together your fears and anxieties because knowing what you actually want to do if things change is power. We will go deeper into birth emergencies and how you want to manage with these situations with confidence and clarity. When you want to seek additional medical support and what that looks like for you.
In this session I will sit solo with your birth partner too and explore their experiences of birth, their unfiltered thoughts and feelings and how to make sure they feel prepared to be present for you.
Birth physiology, biomechanics and the practical bits
Understanding what is happening to your body and baby during birth is essential. Creating your ideal environment, biomechanics and what my support on the day looks like for you. Whether thats a hand to hold, a pool to fill or simply a calming presence. We can recap any areas from the previous sessions that you feel you want to revisit.
You'll also have ongoing support via Whatsapp until the birth of your baby to share those thoughts you can't shift or to have honest, unfiltered open chats. I've got you.
