What is a doula? A doula is someone you come to know well by the time of your birth, and who is there during your labour focused solely on you and your partner. She is there to encourage you, remain objective, and help your partner feel more confident about how to support you. She can also assist you with practical knowledge on measures to relieve discomfort and encourage relaxation during labour. A doula can provide information when you have questions, and can help you communicate more effectively with your medical caregivers and support you in making choices that are right for you and your baby.

What is included in my package:

-An obligation-free meet-and greet

-1-2 antenatal appointments, including a relaxed catch up over coffee or a walk, a meeting with your partner to discuss your birth "wish list" including, pain management, desires and dreams for your big day, education and any questions you may have, and I am also available by phone, text, email or meeting to discuss any questions or concerns you or your partner may have during your pregnancy.

-On call 24/7 from two weeks prior to your due date and two weeks after baby's birth

-Complete labour and birth support, both in home and hospital for as long as you request.

-Birth photography and video if requested

-Post birth visit and check in with Mum and baby

Investment: Due to being my first 6 months of being qualified as a birth Doula I am discounting my package to $600 total (Usually $1600-$2000). This can be paid in stages or in a payment plan. Extras can be added at extra cost if you would like to do more.

Extras - Meditations or Visualisation session for mum during later stages of pregnancy, Astrology Chart for bub after birth, Mother blessing ceremony, Post labour counselling debrief for emotional support and healing.

Benefits of having a Doula:

-Practical support at home, during transfer to hospital, and in your labour to support both you and your partner.

-Feel supported emotionally if certain situations arise or to help reassure with options and empowerment within the hospital system.

-Feel educated on your rights and stages of labour as well as natural pain relief options

-Reduce the chances of intervention or feeling rushed into decisions.

-Encourage and assist you in the entire journey for consistency of care

-Friendly face that advocates for your wishes and birth plan

Testimonials:

“Rich and I kept saying after everyone left how lucky we have been to have you, thank you for all your support and incredible energy, you helped our birth to unfold so beautifully and you gave me so much support I can’t even fathom what it would have been like without you there.”

(Ritchie & Alice)

“Anna was so amazing at holding space for me particularly in answering questions prior to the birth as it was my first birth experience. She helped my partner so much so he could take breaks and she was such a calm grounded person to have there at such an important time. She also made sure the hospital respected my birth plan and preferences and gave me time to make decisions. She also suggested changes of positions for comfort. I would highly recommend Anna being your doula as it is so helpful for so many reasons.”
