Birth Doula Sydney: A woman and her partner in a birthing pool

Part of your birth team

As your birth doula, I’m here as your companion throughout pregnancy, labour, and birth. I’m not here to replace your partner (if you have one), but instead to be a complementary part of your birth team.

Together, we build a trusted relationship based on mutual respect and care and sharing a common goal— helping you to enjoy the amazing experience of bringing your baby into this world, no matter how you give birth.

Birth Doula Sydney - Prenatal visits

Our prenatal visits are tailored to your wants and needs. They may include activities such as mapping out your ideal birth, creating a personalised plan, addressing your fears, and learning oxytocin-boosting techniques to help you feel relaxed and confident during labour. By the end of our prenatal visits, you'll feel as though your mind and body are optimised and equipped for birth, however it unfolds.

When your baby comes

Whether you’re labouring at home, or are having an induction or c-section, I’ll be there to provide care where you feel it’s needed.  I help your partner prepare the birth space so you feel comfortable and calm, and give them guidance on how best to support you as your labour and birth progresses. I’m there to remind you of your choices, autonomy, and rights to consent—things that get easily lost in the moments of birth.

After your baby has arrived, I’ll stay until you are comfortable, then visit you once you’re settled back at home for a birth debrief. 

Benefits of birth doula support.

Women who have an independent birth support person (that isn’t a midwife, family, or friend) providing continuous support during childbirth were:

  • More likely to have a spontaneous labour

  • Less likely to have synthetic oxytocin

  • Less likely to ask for an epidural or drugs

  • Less like to be dissatisfied with their birth

  • More likely to have shorter labours

  • Less likely to have a caesarean

  • Less likely to have an instrumental birth (forceps & vacuum)

  • Less likely to have a baby with low Apgar scores
