welcome

Hi, I’m Cheryl a Brisbane doula working with couples to achieve their Ideal Birth.
As Brisbane’s most experienced pregnancy, birth, and postnatal doula, I share my knowledge and wisdom from over 1,000 hospital births with you.
During my 30 year career as a midwife and Brisbane doula, I have identified three major challenges couples face.

Firstly: More is expected of first time fathers than ever before. They are often the primary and only support person for their partner. Both parents benefit from professional doula support.
Secondly: Couples lack the knowledge and skills to cope with the unknown intensity of pregnancy, labour, birth and the early days of parenting.
Thirdly: Positive hospital birth may be difficult for you to achieve alone in our risk- averse hospital environment.

Together we identify your individual needs, and meet them. I’m here to help and I have solutions that contribute to positive birth outcomes for your family.
I am respectful of the hospital system, your midwives and obstetricians. I value my professional reputation and the different skills we all bring as your team to your birthing space. With valuable support we are able at times to change a potentially negative, fearful or traumatic experience into a positive, empowered, manageable one.
I will be there with you every step of the way.
