What is a doula?
Read more about doulas and their role on The Doula Directory.
A doula provides emotional, informational and physical support to a birthing person.
​
Pregnancy and Birth are two incredible life-changing and life-affirming experiences and a doula can help you navigate a path that feels comfortable, aiming to help you bring your baby into the world with joy and confidence - whether that is in a hospital, birth centre or at home.
​
Doulas aim to provide evidence-based information to help prepare for your birth. Doulas actively listen to you and your partner and help create a birthing environment in which you feel at ease. Doulas support you physically and help before, during and after your baby arrives.

We have no agenda, our only purpose being as an advocate and support for you and your family.

Each doula - client relationship is different and the type of support I will offer will be personalised to you - your pregnancy, your birth preferences, your baby, your family.

Why I became
a doula
I have three reasons for being a doula - one for each of my births.
​
From my first birth I learnt about the physiological process of birth and became passionate about the magic of bringing a baby earth-side.
From my second, I learnt the importance of a confident birth partner, advocate and emotional support.
And from my third, I learnt that mindset, manifestation and environment can completely change your labouring process.
​
I became a doula to help give you the best birth possible within whatever circumstances surround your pregnancy and birth.
