Doula Services
WORK WITH ME
Enhance your birth experience with a highly skilled support person
Research shows that women are best supported in labour by a known, initiated and experienced caregiver. If the caregiver was part of the woman’s immediate social circle, they could easily be drawn into a sympathy loop. A Doula safely holds the space for the couple to come completely undone through the birthing process, and guides them away from any feelings of stress, anxiety or overwhelm when they feel they cannot go on.
As your Doula, I assist you in labour by using natural pain relief techniques, massage, encouragement, relaxation, aromatherapy, homeopathy, breath tools and other comfort measures. I help your partner feel more trusting of the birth process and more confident in their role as support person. I work alongside the whole family, advocate for you and your birthing rights, and work in collaboration with your medical care providers.
As your Doula in Postpartum, my support continues with traditional Postpartum care. We create a safe container for you to debrief your birth, I provide you with warming & nourishing meals, gentle reassurance that you are on the right path, referral to local providers if additional support is needed, babywearing demonstrations, settling techniques, and breastfeeding support.
When we meet, we can work out the areas where you need support the most. My Birth & Postpartum Doula packages can be customised according to your families needs.
