Why Every Birthing Mother Deserves a Doula

Pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period are profound times in a woman’s life—moments that deserve unwavering acceptance, care, and support.

One of my biggest teachers, Dr. Michel Odent, a world-renowned obstetrician and founder of the Primal Health Research Centre, beautifully articulated this:

"Around the time of birth, women need to feel secure. They need the kind of protection that a mother’s presence provides. But in today’s world, not all women can lean on their own mothers, and the baby’s father cannot always fulfill that nurturing role. That is why a doula is so essential."

Research consistently shows the profound impact doulas have on birth outcomes. With the presence of a doula, intervention rates drop significantly:

• Epidural use reduced by 60%

• Cesarean births reduced by 50%

• Labour shortened by 25%

• Pitocin use reduced by 40%

As your doula, my focus is solely on you and your partner—ensuring your emotional and physical wellbeing throughout this life-changing journey. My role is to create a nurturing environment where you feel secure, supported, and empowered. Together, we prepare for your birth with care and intention, so you feel confident and ready.

Unlike antenatal classes, working with a doula offers truly personalised support tailored to your specific needs. This bespoke care means that I not only prepare you for birth but also ensure your partner feels empowered to support you every step of the way. By truly getting to know you, I can offer the kind of care that’s deeply meaningful and effective—care that fosters confidence, connection, and peace of mind.

In the most vulnerable and transformative moments of your life, I am there to hold space for your strength, your resilience, and your birthing power.
