As a Doula and Calmbirth practitioner I am passionate about supporting women and their partners throughout pregnancy, childbirth and beyond. My dream was always to be a Mum and luckily for my husband and me we have had the gift of having 3 wonderful children. My children are now teenagers and have started their own journey of independence. I realised that with having 3 completely different birth experiences of my own and also hearing all my friends’ stories that each couples’ birth experience was so different. I realised that with having 3 completely different birth experiences of my own and also hearing all my friends’ stories that each couples’ birth experience was so different. With research I realised that In normal circumstances couples that have been educated with knowledge of the birth process were trusting and seemed to have a more natural and rewarding outcome. With this information I went on to become a Doula and calmbirth® Practitioner I qualified as a Doula in 2007 from Birth Central now called Australian Doula College in Erskinville , which was just amazing. After supporting many births and with my own birth experience I realised that if you have knowledge of the birth process and learn how to breathe you will trust in your natural ability to birth your baby – this led me to become a calmbirth® practitioner training with the amazing Peter Jackson. I qualified as a calmbirth® practitioner in Feb 2008 I am so happy and feel privileged to share my knowledge with couples so that they can birth their babies with confidence and trust in themselves. |
