Labour & Birth Support
I am dedicated to ensuring that you feel informed, prepared, and confident as you welcome the beautiful new addition to your family. I am committed to creating a warm and nurturing environment, where your choices and preferences are respected.
A doula plays a vital role during labour and birth, offering continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to the birthing person and their partner, if present.
Unlike medical professionals, a doula focuses solely on your wellbeing, helping to create a calm and empowering birth experience. They provide comfort measures such as breathing techniques, massage, and positioning, while also helping to advocate for your preferences and facilitate communication with the healthcare team. The presence of a doula has been shown to improve birth outcomes and enhance overall satisfaction with the birthing process.
The way I see it is, if you trust that you can be your most vulnerable self with me during your labour and birth experience, then I have done my job. I'm there to support YOU first and foremost, because - despite what some people say - a healthy baby is not all that matters.
