About Birth Works

Together you and I create a safe, caring, equipping and empowering environment for your birth and parenting preparation.   I bring to you experienced support, skills, information and guidance through this time.  I do this through personal pre and post natal visits, birth education sessions, workshops and active support throughout your  labour and birth.

As your doula, childbirth educator and life coach I am passionately committed to assisting you to explore where you comfortably stand amidst today’s disparity of options and opinions. It is my work to uphold for you what you define as appropriate for your birthing and parenting experience.   In the face of the overwhelming culture that can surround us and the inner challenge women/couples face in this profound journey, I will be by your side.

We look at how you might go about planning, preparing and experiencing not only the birth of your child, but the day-to-day life along the way. This will mean looking deeply within yourself and exploring who you are and how you want to be.  We want to make sure the beliefs you hold, the behaviour you live out and the feelings you have actually serve your purpose as you journey into, and through, parenthood.  Working on developing your self awareness, self care and personal responsibility will shift you to feeling more confident and able.  Having a continuity of care throughout this process is invaluable!

I understand that having a baby is for many the most personal and exciting time in their life, and it brings with it change, challenges and celebration. With the emergence of modern medicine, and all of its excellent advantages, it has become difficult for many women to maintain, or indeed, regain a sense of normality about the birth process. Fear and a culture of dependency can sadly rob us of our authority over our own bodies and subsequently our confidence to parent as we see best. But this can be changed!!!

You CAN feel more confident, calm, knowledgeable, skilled and empowered during your pregnancy, birth and beyond.
