What is a Doula?

Doula's have been expertly trained to support women in labour and to help comfort and ease the pains of labour. They specifically serve women during pregnancy, at the onset of labour, through the first few hours of the birth of the baby and the postnatal period.

Doulas do not perform clinical tasks such as fetal heart monitoring or internal exams. Instead, a Doula's purpose is to support the labouring mother both physically and mentally to help her achieve the birth experience she desires, and to assist

the father in performing comfort measures for the mother so that the father can take a more active physical and emotional role in the birth.

What I offer

* 24/7 support over your entire pregnancy, pre and postnatally.

* Monthly scheduled appointments prenatally, Fortnightly in the last month in your home

* Labour support throughout your whole labour and birth (including at home)

I also provide postnatal support for mums (babies up to age 1!) help at home, help with feeding, sleeping, playing, or just a friend for mum to lean on in times of frustration, loneliness and desperation.
