How I work

As your doula, I offer continuous, steady support throughout pregnancy, labour, birth and early postpartum. My role is to provide calm guidance, practical knowledge and a grounded presence so you feel supported at every stage of the journey.Our preparation together focuses on practical techniques you can use during labour including:
> Optimal positioning for you and your baby
> Movements that create space in the pelvis
> Understanding the physiology of birth so you can tune into your body and your baby as labour unfolds
> Creating a clear birth map so you understand your options and feel confident navigating different scenarios during birthYour support partner is central to this work. I prepare them so they feel confident supporting you physically and emotionally. Together we create a calm, supported environment where your body can do its work.

Who I am for

I work with women who want to approach birth with intention.
Women who want to understand how birth works, prepare their body and mind for labour, and step into birth feeling calm, informed and supported.Physiological birth in Australia rarely happens by chance.
Navigating the maternity system, understanding your options and creating the right environment for birth requires preparation and the right support around you.I may not be the right fit if you are looking for a very hands off approach to birth preparation. The families I support are willing to learn, practice and engage in the process so they can walk into labour feeling ready.

Complete birth preparation

When you book me as your doula you receive complementary access to The Birth Method and hire of The Birth Bag.The Birth Method
A comprehensive online preparation program that teaches the practical techniques we practice together. It includes video tutorials so you and your partner can rehearse labour support techniques throughout pregnancy, along with stretching guides, breathing practices and meditations that help you prepare both physically and mentally.The Birth Bag
Ensures you have everything ready for birth. It includes carefully selected labour and comfort tools. Having these tools early also allows you to practice with them during pregnancy and approach labour feeling prepared rather than overwhelmed.

about me

Hi, I’m Rose.Before becoming a doula, I spent ten years working in strategy consulting. My work focused on helping organisations navigate complex decisions. Like many of the women I now support, I was used to working hard, solving problems and preparing carefully.Despite that, I left my first birth feeling completely unravelled. I had done the classes and learned the theory, but when labour actually began I didn’t feel prepared for what was happening in my body or how to work with it.That experience led me to retrain as a birthing doula.When I became pregnant again, I approached birth very differently. I had a much deeper understanding of the physiology of labour plus the practical techniques that can help labour unfold well. My second birth became a deeply healing experience, followed by a calm and supported postpartum.I now work with families across Sydney to provide practical birth preparation and birth support. I’m based on the Northern Beaches and work with women who want to understand birth, prepare properly, and walk into labour feeling calm and confident rather than overwhelmed.My approach is warm, grounded and evidence-based. We focus on understanding how labour actually works, preparing your body and mind for birth, and making sure both you and your partner feel ready for the experience ahead.Birth rarely unfolds exactly as planned, which is why preparation matters. My goal is that you walk into birth understanding your options and leave feeling like you made the best decisions possible with the information available to you.From pregnancy through to postpartum, I’m there to offer calm guidance, practical tools and steady support as you step into parenthood.
