Birth
As your doula, I provide continuous emotional and practical support throughout your labour and birth, helping you feel safe, informed, and supported every step of the way.
I am trained in a range of comfort measures, including OMP (Optimal Maternal Positioning) techniques and natural pain relief options, which can help encourage your baby's positioning, support labour progress, and increase your comfort during birth. Depending on your needs in the moment, I may suggest different positions, movement, breathing techniques, massage, counter-pressure, relaxation strategies, use of heat or water, and other evidence-based comfort measures.
Beyond the physical support, I provide a calm and reassuring presence throughout your birth. I help you navigate the intensity of labour by offering encouragement, guidance, and reassurance when things feel challenging. I can remind you of your birth preferences, help you understand your options, and support you in making informed decisions that feel right for you.
This continuous one-to-one support allows you and your partner to feel nurtured, encouraged, and cared for throughout your labour and birth journey.
