"It was incredibly helpful to have Bara's support during my labour. Her calm and reassuring presence made all the difference during my difficult early labour stage. I wouldn't have coped so well without her! From our first meeting it was very apparent how passionate Bara is about pregnancy, birth and babies, and how generous she is. I couldn't imagine anyone being more suited to being a doula".

Birth Doula 

 

As a Birth doula, I provide emotional, practical (non-medical) and informational support for mothers and their partners during pregnancy, childbirth and the early days of parenthood. I believe every woman is capable of a positive birthing experience and my role is to offer my nurturing support to ensure that you are given the best opportunity to have a beautiful birth.

 

Hiring a doula can significantly influence birth outcomes in a positive way such as shorter labour, fewer complications, fewer interventions and Caesareans, less requests for pain relieveing medications and epidurals, mothers' greater satisfaction with their birth experience, less postpartum depression, more positive assesments of babies, babies breastfeed more easily.

 

For me there is no right or wrong way to give birth and I will support every woman and her partner in whatever way and enviroment they choose.

I offer a free initial consultation in-person as an opportunity to see whether we connect and can work together, with no obligation to hire me. During this consultation we will discuss your birth vision, how you would like me to support you, my philosophy and some practicalities. To set up our meeting please contact me.

"Thank you for being with us through the difficult days of labour, your support was invaluable!

Your dedication and your presence are absolutely wonderful".
