A doula is a non-medical professional that provides emotional, physical, and advocacy support to women and their families throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
Doulas do not provide clinical care like midwives and obstetricians. Whilst each doula has a different approach, their role is to be in your corner offering resources, guidance, encouragement, and any other support you need. -
I am based in Clyde North, and travel up to 1hr for in person support. I also offer virtual support if you’re outside that radius.

Yes, I understand that birth support is an investment and I want doula support to be accessible to as many as possible. I require a deposit upon booking, however am happy to offer flexible payment plans.

At the moment, I’m only offering postpartum support to clients I’ve supported through pregnancy and birth. This helps me offer the best care I can with the limited availability that I have. That said, I know some amazing postpartum doulas and would be more than happy to help connect you with the right person if you're not sure where to start.

Yes, absolutely! My role is to be in your corner, offering non-judgemental support whatever your birth preferences or plans. I care about your autonomy, and will always advocate for your decisions to be respected.

I believe that birth is a normal physiological process that only sometimes needs medical intervention. However, my approach to support is based on a deep respect for autonomy and informed decision making. I believe that no one knows what's best for you, except you. Therefore, I will always follow your lead and support you in the ways that meet your needs best.
