Birth Doula Services

Rockingham | Mandurah | Perth

CONNECTION, GUIDANCE, CONTINUITY, ADVOCACY AND EMPOWERMENT

Birth Support from Perth to Mandurah

I provide evidence-based doula care for families across Perth’s southern suburbs, from Perth to Mandurah. With a calm, continuous approach, I support you through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, helping you feel confident and informed every step of the way.

My role as your doula is to provide the knowledge, reassurance, and practical tools you need to feel empowered throughout your journey. I offer a balance of emotional, physical, and informational support, helping you prepare for birth with confidence, clarity and excitement.

I’m here as a calm, steady presence, offering evidence-based information, continuity of care, and advocacy when you need it most. You’ll have a trusted guide to navigate your options, find your voice, and make choices that feel right for you and your family.

I take a modern approach to doula care, grounded in respect for all types of birth, from physiological to medically supported. I believe birth often unfolds best when it’s supported, not managed, while recognising the important role of medical oversight. My goal is to provide unbiased, up-to-date information about all your options, from physiological birth and natural comfort measures to navigating common interventions or caesarean births, so you can make confident, informed decisions.

Every birth is unique, and so is the support you’ll receive. My role is to hold space, guide you through prenatal preparation, support you during birth, and help you move into motherhood feeling supported, confident, and powerful.

Birth Doula Overview

Please note: I am not a medical provider and do not offer clinical or midwifery care. To work together, you’ll need to have a registered maternity care overseeing for your pregnancy and present at your birth. My role is to provide emotional, physical, and informational support that complements your medical team.

Family-Centred

Education & Partner Preparation

You’ll receive access to my extensive range of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum guides, covering everything from birth preferences to newborn care.
Partners are encouraged to attend as many prenatal sessions as they can, and our final prenatal visit focuses on teaching both of you practical birth skills and natural pain management strategies such as:

As well as circuits to help promote balance, relaxation and positioning in the final weeks of pregnancy such as:

The goal is to help both of you feel confident and connected heading into birth.

Care network

Client Love Notes

"Sarah provided all the support we could possibly need in preparation for our VBAC."

I stumbled across Sarah on social media and immediately something made me want her to be a part of my birth story. I’m not sure exactly why but I just knew she was the Doula for me. Sarah provided all the support we could possibly need in preparation for our VBAC. I learnt so much from Sarah but most importantly my husband learnt so much about how to be the best birth partner a woman could wish for and I’ll be forever grateful to Sarah for everything she did for us

– Shannon

"When my birth didn’t go the way I hoped..

Sarah was an absolute rock for me during my pregnancy and birth and I cannot recommend her more highly. She provided excellent support throughout my entire pregnancy and was always available to address any questions myself or my partner had. Sarah provided an extensive collection of evidence-based resources to guide my decision making during the lead up to my planned VBAC. When my birth didn’t go the way I hoped she guided me through my choices, allowing me a safe place to express my thoughts and fears.”

-Alana (part1)

My Daughter still asks when she is going to see Sarah again.

She always held space for me to process my own feelings with her calm, comforting and professional disposition. Not only is she an amazing doula but she an absolutely incredible photographer, capturing the beauty of my second caesarean birth with her breathtaking photos that I will cherish forever and to top it all off my 2 year old daughter adores her and still asks when she will see Sarah again- which speaks volumes to the impact she had on myself and my family.

-Alana (Part2)

answers to commonly asked questions

What does a doula do?

A doula provides emotional, physical, and informational support during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, complementing, not replacing, medical care.

When should I book a doula?

Most families book between 6 – 20 weeks. I take a limited number of families each month, so early booking is recommended.

What’s included in your doula package?

Four birth preparation sessions, a maternity photoshoot, on-call labour support, two postpartum follow-up visits, and access to a wide range of educational resources and birth tools.

Will a Doula support me if I have a Caesarean?

I will support you and your family no matter the choices you make, or the way your birth unfolds.

If you have a caesarean section, it is ultimately up to your medical care team to permit or decline my entry to theatre on the day (hospital and care provider policy differs).

If I am unable to come into theatre with you, I will provide you with as much preparation, support, and guidance as I can leading up to surgery and after.

Do you do Payment Plans?

Payment plans are available for all of my doula & photography services (no minimum spend).

Ask me about setting up a payment plans tailored to your needs.

What is the difference between a Doula and a Midwife?

A doula is a non-medical support person who focuses on caring for you emotionally and physically. A Doula works with you, providing tailored and evidence based information to support you in empowering yourself and making confident and informed decisions.

A midwife is a medical professional, whose primary focus of their care is on the health and safety of you and your baby.

Both doulas and midwives work with you prenatally, support you throughout the birth and follow up with you Postpartum

What are the benefits of having a Doula?

– Reduced risk of Caesarean birth.
– Reduced risk of instrumental birth.
– Reduced need for pharmaceutical pain relief during birth.
– Reduced rate of induction of labour.
– Shorter labour.
– Increased parental satisfaction with the birth experience.
– Increased likelihood of initiating breastfeeding.
– Increased likelihood of successfully establishing breastfeeding & breastfeeding at 6 weeks.
– Lower incidence of depressive symptomatology.

Hodnett, Ellen D., et al. “Continuous support for women during childbirth.” Cochrane database of systematic reviews 7 (2013).

Will a Doula replace my partner?

Nope! A doula is not only there to support Mum, but to support her whole family. A doula can support your primary birth partner in developing the confidence and skills to enter labour feeling prepared and ready to support you!

What qualifications do you have?

I have completed the ‘Platinum Level Birth Doula Training’ through the Doula Training Academy with Vicki Hobbs.

In addition I have also attended Birth Cartographer Training with Cathrine Belle, a VBAC workshop with Hazel Keedle, a Birth Photography Workshop with Belle Verdiglione, a Chinese Medicine for Birth-workers workshop with Kate Thompson, and I am currently completing a lactation consultant course with Maternal Instincts.

VBAC Doula Support

I provide experienced, evidence-based support for families planning a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Caesarean) or preparing for a repeat caesarean birth. My approach is the same for every family, to help you feel informed, confident, and supported, whatever path your birth takes.

Together, we explore strategies that support physiological birth while also preparing for flexibility and calm decision-making if plans change. Whether your goal is a VBAC, a gentle or family-centred caesarean, or simply a more positive experience this time, I’ll help you navigate your options, advocate for your preferences, and approach birth with clarity, confidence, and peace.
