Birth Doula Support - Your birth, Your Way.
SUPPORTING YOU WITH PERSONALISED DOULA CARE
FOR A CONFIDENT PREGNANCY AND EMPOWERED BIRTH
Every women has a dream vision of how their ideal labour and birth will look.
Common wishes include being in a love-filled and peaceful environment. Having the undivided care and respect from all individuals honoured to be witnessing your labour. Being supported by those who believe in your capacity to have a undisturbed physiological birth.
When you work with me I will help you to achieve a birth where you feel confident and empowered. We work together slowly with intention and conscious care for what is showing up in your mind, body and soul. You will arrive in a place of knowing that feels just right for you. Marked by choices that align with your body, intuition and instincts.
Your ideal birth experience is more likely to become a reality when you have the right heart-centred and caring support surrounding you. I strongly believe in every woman's ability to know what is right for her and her baby, and therefore it is more likely that with the right support and information she can trust herself to safely birth her baby with confidence and ease.
If you would like empathic and personal support for your birth I would be delighted to meet you for a no commitment chat to explore what you might need. I work in Brighton and the surrounding area.
I have been a holistic therapist for many years and have provided emotional, physical and spiritual support to many women and families at different stages of their lives. I understand how powerful these transitional times in life can be, and birth is a time when it beneficial to feel empowered, held and supported.
A MAGICAL TOOL FOR LABOUR!
I have a tool called a Scenar machine which my clients affectionately call "The magical machine". They nickname it this because it greatly increased their ability to manage the surges of labour and birth.
It's a similar device to a TENS machine but works at a much deeper level to significantly reduce labour sensations and speed up recovery times, amongst many other uses.
Hear how it helped Becky during her labour.

WHY HIRE A BIRTH DOULA?
In an ideal world women would have the support of trusted experienced elders from the community to assist them during pregnancy, birth and during the postpartum period. We also used to be able to rely on getting the best care and attention from the midwives in our local hospital.
Unfortunately this is not the reality these days and having the support of a birth doula is the best way to ensure you will have the birth you wish for.
The NHS is under unprecedented pressure and the amazing staff are being pushed to their limits. Midwives are trying to cope as best they can, but openly admit they're not able to provide the care labouring women really need.
Hiring a birth doula provides you with continuous care giving you the feeling of safety, security and trust that your needs will be met and understood by your doula who will advocate for your wishes and act as a guardian for you. I will have your back and do whatever I can to make sure your wishes and intentions will be heard and carried out.
Research has shown that having a Doula with whom you have a trusting relationship greatly improves your birth experience. I will ensure your labouring space is as quiet and as protected as possible. This helps you release more of the hormones that will allow you to give birth with more ease and significantly reduce the need for medical interventions. Labours are shorter and women are more likely to rate their birth experience as positive

What people say
A Bit About Me!
Hello and congratulations on your pregnancy.
My name is Sarah and I'm the mum to 3 teenage boys. We live in Brighton.
I started my doula career 10 years ago as an End of Life Doula. I found I was naturally able to support a person in challenging situations and be a strong and stable presence to them. After years of caring for friends in labour my passion for supporting women during pregnancy and birth increased and I trained as a Birth Doula.
I really enjoy the contrast and similarities of both roles.
People describe me as down to earth, loyal, honest, funny, strong and caring. I support women from all sorts of backgrounds and often work with women who have experienced trauma and difficult life experiences. I have faced some very extreme situations in my own life which have gifted me with resilience and empathy. I work with your whole family and know how important it is to support your birth partner too. Together, with clear communication and sharing ideas on all the different available birthing options we will create your ideal support birth team.
I am a qualified counsellor and have training in using a trauma informed approach. I have qualifications in many alternative therapies, homeopathy, energy and vibrational healing.
I use biomechanics, rebozo and a Scenar device to assist ease of positioning and comfort during pregnancy and labour.
