Welcome to Earth Mother Nurturing.

As a doula with many years experience in childbirth education, birth support, breastfeeding and parenting, one of the difficulties that many parents face is how to access information. There are many books, websites, discussion boards, online groups etc, but much of the advice is conflicting or vague. This what I believe is the real beauty of having a doula is: your doula can help you navigate all the information so that you find what you are looking for. She may even have a library (like I do) from which she can lend you appropriate material.

When you go shopping for a doula, I really encourage you to interview each prospect. You need to feel really comfortable with whoever you choose in order for them to be able to give you the best support. Some women feel more comfortable with someone who has a no nonsense attitude, others will prefer a softly spoken person. You may prefer someone who has a spiritual style, or not. Write yourself a little paragraph about your ideal birth and take that along to your interview, as well as any questions you may have about the doula’s experience.

I am committed to helping each woman achieve the best birth that is possible. Feel free to browse through and find out what I offer.

Warm smiles :)
