My name is Nadia and I am a doula (a support person for a woman in labour who is non-medically trained)
This type of support brings an amazing energy and insight into the woman’s birth experience.

What I can offer you:
Ante-Natal
- Childbirth education sessions
- Birth plan preparation
- Writing of positive affirmations
- Support to achieve a natural labour & active birth regardless of where you choose to birth
- Prepare you & your partner mentally, physically & emotionally

During Birth
- Supporting you & your partner constantly throughout labour & birth
- Transportation, if needed
- Relaxation techniques, such as breathing
- Natural pain relieving techniques (massage, hot & cold compresses) to reduce medical intervention
- Teach and remind you of breathing
- Assist you to remain active during labour
- Make suggestions for position changes for comfort
- Advocate for you to follow your birth plan
- Encouragement & reassurance
- I will assist you and your partner in every way possible

Post-Natal
- Birth debriefing
- Support when needed (breastfeeding, bathing, massage & nappy changing)
- Emotional support
- Vaccination Information
