As a doula, I offer support to couples throughout the entire childbirth journey. Birth is beautiful and special but can also be challenging at times. By supporting you on all fronts (not medical), we create a positive experience.
-
Emotionally, I strive to be a constant source of encouragement, providing reassurance and help you navigate the emotional highs and lows.
-
Physically, my focus is on enhancing comfort during labor. I offer various techniques such as rebozo massage, suggesting comfortable positions, and guiding through breathing exercises. While I don't perform medical procedures, my goal is to contribute to a positive birthing experience by promoting physical well-being and comfort
-
Information is a key aspect of my support. I'm here to educate about pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care, empowering couples with knowledge to make informed decisions aligned with their preferences.
-
Advocacy is another crucial dimension of my role. I work to ensure that mama's preferences are effectively communicated to healthcare providers. I facilitate clear communication and support couples in making decisions that align with their birth plan as much as possible.
​
It's essential to understand that, as a doula, I don't provide medical care or make medical decisions. Instead, I complement the care provided by healthcare professionals by offering holistic and personalised support throughout the entire childbirth experience.
