More about me!

  • Helen

    Sarah is an incredible Doula. The birth could not have gone any better. She arrived very quickly and her calming presence put me immediately at ease and the labour progressed smoothly and swiftly. She intuitively knew what I needed whether it be a boost on the TENS machine, a hip squeeze, breathing reminders, a sip of water, to hop in the bath, a change of position or a whole bunch of you got this. She supported my husband to be the very best birth partner he could be, they made an amazing team. Oh as well as all this she also managed to document the birth with photos and videos!

  • Melanie

    “Sarah was an incredible support to my husband and I as a doula for our first pregnancy/birth. She went out of her way to provide us with personalized documents and information to support both myself and my husband. The nurses even commented on how great the birth plan document was! She was available for all of our questions and advocated for us during labour for the birth that we wanted. It was a huge relief knowing she was there to support my husband during the process as well. I was comforted by her confidence and knowledge throughout both pregnancy and the birth of our baby. I would highly recommend Sarah as a doula!”

  • Lisa

    “Sarah was an incredible birth doula, and has continued to provide amazing support in her work as an RMT. In her doula role, Sarah was compassionate, professional and played a critical support role during the labour (her back/hip squeezes saved the day!). My partner and I were grateful to have her presence in the room during such a pivotal moment of our lives. Would 100% recommend!”

  • Jenna

    I cannot express how grateful I am to have had Sarah by my side during my first birth. From the very first meeting, she was warm, knowledgable, and supportive, putting me at ease during a time that was both exciting and terrifying. She was there for us every step of the way, offering invaluable guidance, answering our endless questions, and providing emotional and physical support during labour. Her calming presence and encouragement made a world of a difference, helping me feel empowered and confident throughout the entire process. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for a Doula who is grounded, who genuinely cares and goes above and beyond, look no further.

  • A doula serves as your personal guide throughout the journey of pregnancy, labor, and birth. They highlight essential aspects, provide insightful answers to your questions, offer tips for optimizing the experience, and assist you in crafting and navigating the type of journey you desire. Research has shown that individuals receiving continuous support from a doula during labor are more inclined to have spontaneous vaginal births, less likely to use pain medication or epidurals, and have lower rates of negative feelings about childbirth and cesarean births (Bohren et al., Cochrane Review, 2017).

  • Hospitals allow doulas and other support people to accompany you during your labour.

  • Midwives and doctors function as medical care providers, responsible for overseeing the medical aspects of your pregnancy and providing clinical care for both you and your baby(ies). They perform essential medical tasks and ensure the well-being of both the expectant parent and the child.

    In contrast, a doula does not provide medical care. Instead, a doula serves as a dedicated companion offering emotional, physical, and informational support throughout your pregnancy, labor, and birth journey. While midwives and doctors focus on clinical aspects, a doula is there to provide holistic support, helping you navigate the emotional and physical aspects of the experience and offering valuable information to empower you during this transformative time.

  • Your concern is valid, and it's essential to clarify that a doula's role is not to overshadow the special connection between the expectant parent and their partner but to enhance and support it. As the tour guide, a doula becomes an integral part of the existing support team. The aim is to complement the strengths already present and contribute to a unified and positive birth experience.

    A doula's presence is beneficial not only for the birthing parent but also for their partner. By offering reassurance, providing opportunities for breaks, and ensuring essential needs like food, sleep, and moments of respite are met, a doula actively supports both members of the expectant couple. The collaborative approach, where a doula brings expertise in labor and birth, and the partner contributes their intimate knowledge of the expectant parent, creates a harmonious and supportive team dynamic. It's a partnership that strives to make the birthing experience as positive and empowering as possible for everyone involved.

  • I support and empower however you choose to birth your baby. As a doula I maintain a neutral stance and provide unbiased support. My purpose is to assist you in making well-informed and instinctive decisions that align with your preferences. I have undergo training to support diverse birthing scenarios, whether it be at home or in a hospital, with midwives or doctors, without medication or with pain relief, and for both vaginal and caesarean deliveries. How ever you choose to birth your baby is right for you! Let me support you!
