Pregnancy and the birth of a baby is a most sacred and beautiful time in a woman's life. It is always transformational. Our births stay with us forever, as mothers and children, and we all deserve to be blessed with a gentle, beautiful birth experience. I am an advocate for babies by educating parents about how their birth experience shapes the life of their unborn baby.

A woman who feels supported,who knows she has made her own informed choices about what is best for her and her baby, and who trusts in her body will have an increased sense of confidence and self esteem. A mother is then more prepared for the all important and challenging role that lay ahead. The continuous presence of a doula who expresses confidence and belief in the mother, enables her to have an experience that will affect her positively and powerfully, for the rest of her life.

Did you know that a doulas support leads to:

* 50% reduction in need for cesarean section
* 25% reduction in length of labour
* 40% reduction in use of instrumental delivery
* 60% reduction in request for epidural
* lower rates of post partum depression
* more likely to be breastfeeding
