I am able to remain calm and level headed for a woman and her family without showing preference, trying to influence
in any way or giving advice. I am a great listener with the ability to “put myself in someone else’s shoes” and am a
positive, consistent support.
It is important to me that parents feel confident, prepared and supported to enable them to undertake the most
demanding yet rewarding role in their lives whether it be for the first time or subsequent time.
I believe that when a woman feels safe and nurtured, so does her family.

| After the birth of my daughter, I began to understand so much more about myself and life in general. The experience shared by women of pregnancy, birth and raising children became more than an interest and quickly developed into a passion. I then stumbled across the word “doula”. As a lot of other people, I had never heard this word before. I decided to read more and after a few sentences realised that becoming a doula was my purpose and I immediately fell in love! |

I truly feel helping women and their families, have the best experience possible is a calling for me and feel my ability to provide intimate and continuous care will be of great benefit to women who employ me as their doula. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
I completed my training and became a certified doula through Optimum Birth, an Australian Organisation in 2008.
To certify I was required to complete a theory component which consisted of four modules, pass four exams and to
attend three births as a student.
I really enjoy learning ways to support a woman and her family both emotionally and physically during one of the most memorable times of their lives. People can become doulas without any formal training and this is because a doula has no clinical responsibility whatsoever. Doulas tend to have the “instinct” part built in already and train to “tune” them up!
