Birth Doula Support
Many women wish they knew of my work before they had babies because hindsight is often 50:50. Many had long and painful births with traumatic outcomes. Many had interventions that harmed them and their baby. We often think these things do not happen to us. Unfortunately, the birth environment is not set up for you to be able to do things that your body is naturally made to do.
​
You can avoid traumatic outcomes through education, knowing what to do, what your rights are. I will show your partner what to do to help you progress labour and how to take charge of the situation. I will be there for both of you to provide the support for you to optimise your birth experience.
The Process
