What is a doula?

For thousands of years, women traditionally gave birth while being supported by other women. As birth has become medicalised, this age-old tradition has sadly become less and less common.

​

I am your birth bestie. I am here to serve, protect, and love on you through pregnancy, labour, birth, and the postpartum period. I believe in physiological vaginal birth. I trust your body. The system does not. It assumes you are broken. I know you are not. You already carry unbelievable innate wisdom, and my job is to help you tune into it, trust it, and unleash it.

​

I am not medically trained, but I abide by evidenced based care.

The system often does not.

I know & understand the biology, the hormonal flow, the rhythm of birth and I use that knowledge to help you feel safe, seen, supported, and fully capable of birthing your baby in the way your body knows how.

​

Every woman is different. Every birth is different. That’s why my support is customised to you. Some women need calm, some need advocacy, some need someone to fiercely guard their space and boundaries.

I am here for all of it, the joy, the wonder, the messy, the painful, the hard, the ecstatic.

​

Your birth is yours. My role is to make sure you are heard, protected, and held every step of the way. You’re not alone. You are supported. You are trusted. And together, we can make sure you and your baby get the best birth possible on your terms.
