DOULA

EXPERIENCED SUPPORT

Please note: I am taking leave for a year from December 2021, to travel Australia with my family.

I'll be back in 2023, so I might see you for your next baby ;-)  

​

As your doula, I've got your back.

I'll get to know you both during your pregnancy, finding out what's important to you and sharing balanced information along the way. When your birthing day arrives, the rapport and trust developed between us will enable you to feel safe, confident and relaxed. I will be with you, giving emotional and physical support throughout your labour, birth and immediate postnatal period.

​​

Any mother will tell you, giving birth is one of the most physically and emotionally challenging things you'll ever do. It makes good sense to have a trained and experienced 'coach' as part of your team, to get the most out of this incredible experience.

See my birth doula packages below.

​​

The postnatal period is an amazing time of falling deeply in love with your baby. It brings challenges too, with a lot to learn and some feeling overwhelmed and isolated. Having someone who genuinely cares, and has the experience and knowledge to give gentle, practical, non-judgmental guidance can really help to reassure you, or turn things around.

As a mum to young children, and busy birth doula and chldbirth educator, I have limited availability for postnatal support for my birth support clients only. My hourly rate for postnatal support is $85/hour for a minimum 3-hour visit.

There's plenty of evidence supporting the choice to invest in a doula. See my Doula FAQs for links to evidence on how our continuous support makes a positive difference, plus more information on what a doula does/doesn't do, my service terms and more ...​

See Homebirth NSW for evidence on the positive outcomes for women and babies under continuity of care of a private midwife for planned homebirth versus other models of care. Watch the Q&A videos to see experienced private midwives answer common questions about homebirth.
