About Me
My Story and Commitment To You
The Birthing Doula is me, Jess! I'm a mum of 2 beautiful boys. They are the reason I find myself in this rewarding career. I had 2 very different births, the first - heavily intervened where I felt lost and powerless. The second - guided calmly and safely by my own intuition, I birthed my boy in the bath without intervention. I walked away from this experience feeling so strong and connected to myself. It is a feeling that followed me into postpartum.
My main focus as your doula is to ensure you feel safe, supported and strong throughout your experience. I am here to help you navigate your options, honour your choices, and cultivate a sense of empowerment that resonates long after your baby arrives. With a focus on continuous emotional, physical, and informational support, I aim to create an environment where you feel heard, respected, and confident in your decisions. Together, we'll work towards a birth experience that leaves you feeling positive, capable, and deeply connected to your transition into parenthood.
