Birth Support
Pregnancy can bring up fear and vulnerability, it is also a powerful rite of passage for a woman. It’s my intention to bring consciousness to birthing and for you to feel safe, supported, held and heard throughout your pregnancy and after care.
“Everything required to give birth is within us”
I am here to support you, empower you and help you to make informed decisions during your pregnancy and birth.
I have studied birth support work with the Free Birth Society, Red Tent Doulas and True Midwifery. I gained practical experience assisting births in the Ecuadorian Amazon with indigenous mammas, I learnt rituals and traditions from Mexican midwives, and the healing powers of the Andean Indians of Peru. In my practice I weave indigenous wisdom with an understanding of western modern medicine, which I bring to your care and experience.
“Birth is a Ceremony”
There are a number of benefits to having a birth keeper
by your side, including:
- Up to 25% decrease risk of caesarean
- Up to 15% increase of spontaneous vaginal birth
- 10% decrease in using medication for pain relief
- Shorter labours by 41 minutes, and all round happier mamas
