I am a Doula & Ecstatic Birth Practitioner. The birth of my daughter in 2015, was a catalyst to an incredible transformation in my life; one in which I deepened my understanding of the power innate within all women during the amazing process of pregnancy and birth. I experienced how labour and birth can truly be gentle, healing and even pleasurable. The journey I took, deep into understanding childbirth, was so empowering that I am now inspired to work with other women and their partners to equally empower them to experience the same.
As a Doula...
I am by your side to provide physical and emotional support, to facilitate advocacy and to provide information. I will help you to access the information necessary to make informed decisions. I will also remind you if there is a departure from your birth plan. I will discuss your concerns with you andsuggest options, but I will not speak on your behalf to the clinical staff. I aim to give you the information and support needed to empower you and your partner to feel the confidence to speak for yourselves. As your doula, I do not perform clinical tasks such as blood pressure, fetal heart checks, vaginal exams, etc. and I do not make medical decisions on your behalf.
