My name is Sarah - I offer PREGNANCY yoga and collaborative BIRTH and POSTPARTUM doula services to families across Lake Macquarie and Newcastle. I have supported over 120 births and have experience in various settings (home, birth-centre, hospital). I provide loving continuity of care in your chosen model. My passion is supporting women to birth their babies healthy and empowered.

​

I don’t teach birth, I help women remember
Our bodies know how to dance, sing, to make love, birth and to die. When we live in the mind we doubt our ability, our judgement and intuition. The practise of yoga and gathering in circle helps us to wake-up through the senses and return to the aliveness of our body. 

​

Your body, your baby, your choice

We are called to find our authentic voice and be the authority in our pregnancy and birth. I provide clients with relevant research to assist their decision-making in respect to body, baby and birth. I am a calm, confident and reassuring presence to remind you of your birthing-rights and, if necessary, will advocate for you and your partner's informed choices as labour and birth unfolds.

​

My role is to encourage, educate and support
I offer balanced research and evidence-based resources to assist families in understanding their options throughout pregnancy. My support begins when you engage me and extends through to birth. I hold beautiful, warm and sacred spaces for my mothers to feel safe and supported. Postpartum support is provided in heart-collaboration with another qualified doula and bodyworker, Joanne Mackintosh. 

​

When a baby is born, so is the mother

Birth is one of the most transformative experiences in a person's life. Pregnancy not only changes the body at a cellular level, the expansion can be experienced as a deeply spiritual endeavour; a rite of passage. My approach integrates ancient feminine wisdom with modern technique to help guide women towards positive births.

​

I am a mother to two humans so limit my birth support each month and schedule time-out for family. To avoid disappointment, arrange a discovery call as soon as you are pregnant and book a pregnancy yoga class at 12 weeks. Please use the contact form to enquire.
