Bump and Beyond NZ is a birth and postpartum doula service serving families in the Nelson Tasman region, based in Brooklyn, Tasman. The doula is a non-medical birth companion who gives emotional, physical and educational support in pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period, and who also supports the birth partner. The website lists these services: virtual support, complete support that includes birth attendance, antenatal and postpartum support, postpartum support, caesarean support, and TENS machine hire. The business has a pricing page, and families are asked to get in touch by phone or email before booking.
Clients say the doula gave clear, reassuring advice, including people who were not yet clients and had called for help finding a midwife. Others describe the complete support package, and say the doula helped them feel positive and supported after a difficult first birth. The website describes the doula as a former registered nurse with more than ten years in a private surgical hospital, who trained as a birth and postpartum doula in 2023. For families in Nelson Tasman who want continuous support from pregnancy through to the postpartum period, the service offers a range of options.
