Doulas are here to Help Support Women During Childbirth
Doulas are non-medical professionals trained to provide continuous physical, emotional and informational support to a woman and her partner before, during and after childbirth. This can apply to a woman planning a physiological birth, home birth, hospital birth or a planned caesarean.
​
Many cultures ensure that a birthing woman is surrounded by women (Doulas) who are experienced in childbirth for protection, comfort and confidence.
Sometimes just having another woman there to connect with can be incredibly nurturing and increase the confidence of the birthing woman by having that female understanding and connection.
​
This in no way is meant to replace the role of the partner who is there to love, support and protect the mother as well.
Having a doula present aids both the mother and partner.
​
Obstetricians, midwives and nurses are responsible for monitoring labour, assessing the medical condition of the mother and baby and treating complications when they arise; but birth is also an emotional, energetic and spiritual experience with a long-term impact on a woman’s personal wellbeing.
Doulas do not provide any type of medical care; however, they do provide evidence-based information and research to help their clients gain a better understanding of medical procedures and encourage the couple to ask all the right questions to ensure they are making the right choices for their birth.
Empowering
Women and their Bodies
Amy was the most amazing birth support for my VBAC delivery. She not only supported me with positive affirmations and encouragement but was also supportive of my birth preferences including setting up a safe space for me and using positive language to guide me through my labour. There were times when I doubted myself and Amy helped me through my surges and breathed with me. I had the most amazing drug free birth that was not only healing but also empowering too. So grateful for Amy’s support during one of the best days of my life.

Hey beauties!
I’m Amy and I’m a mother of two gorgeous boys, Logan and Oscar. I am located in the Macarthur region. I have a background in admin and finance and I have now found my true passion and am focused on that. Through past experiences I have learnt to live my life wholly and solely. My time is well spent with my children but I have also realised how important it is to have my own time and space to be a better mother.
My hobbies include journalling, exercising, writing, eating well, family moments, memories with friends, music, reality tv and reading. I prioritise rest, productivity at the right moments and healing myself along the way.
I enjoy the sunshine, water and fresh air. I have been through my fair share of hard times with heartache and becoming a single mother when my children were 3 and 1. This begun a further journey for me of self discovery and where I really want to be, and the kind of people I surround myself with.
I ensure my day is filled with people and things that make me feel good. We all have our hard days and down times so I endure these emotions thoroughly and work towards focusing on positive moments and things that bring me true happiness.
