My Story
My name is Katherine - I’m a qualified Birth and Postpartum Doula and a Hypnobirthing Australia™ Positive Birth Program Practitioner based in Western Sydney. I travel to support clients in the Hills District, Western Sydney, Lower and Upper Mountains and South of Sydney.
I am a mum of two beautiful children who enlighten and encourage me everyday. I had the privilege of having a student doula when I gave birth to my son.
As your Doula, my role is to provide balanced research and resources to inform families of their options and be a sounding-board for you and your partner so that you feel confident to navigate the vast and often perplexing birth journey. I act as a calm and reassuring presence at every type of birth (hospital, home, birth-center).
As your doula I will hold the space for you and look after the logistics so that you can focus on your birth. It can be challenging to see the person you love going through the intensity of child birth, I will also be there for your birth partner, freeing them up to be focused and completely present for you, while receiving whatever support they may need.
In the postpartum period I’m also there to help you with feeding, wrapping, bathing, settling and generally integrating a baby into your life while supporting you emotionally and de-briefing your birth experience.
Whatever stage of pregnancy or planning you are at, it is never too early (or too late) to start a conversation about your journey, birth and postpartum support.
