Pregnancy, birth & postpartum Doula
The role of a doula is to provide continuous emotional and physical support for Mum and her birth partner throughout labour, birth and the early days of parenting.
With vast experience, Jo has had the pleasure of being part of many births since 2007 in a range of settings. Jo can offer help and suggestions for different comfort measures in labour including breathing, relaxation, movement, acupressure, homeopathy and labour positions. Often, Jo will also support the birth mothers’ partner in order to better support Mum.
One of the benefits of choosing Jo is that you can call her at any time during your labour when you are ready for her to come and support you. Normally, she will be with you within an hour of your call. Jo will support you with your choice in how you want to birth without speaking for you, making decisions for you or projecting her own opinions or values onto you. She will be there to give you information and to support you on this very special day.
Jo believes all women have the power and courage to birth their babies with ease. Often, women just need some reassurance and empowerment to find that strength and power from within. It truly is Jo’s pleasure and honour to be invited to share such a special time and be allowed to hold space for women to birth their babies.
