I cannot recommend Rosie enough! She truly helped us achieve the birth we had been hoping for. She supported both me and my husband throughout the antenatal, birth and postpartum periods and provided so much knowledge for us to use when making decisions. She had good knowledge of hypnobirthing techniques and language , and had many other additional skills in her doula kit. We know that Rosie will definitely be apart of our future births as she was the perfect addition to our birth team .

Rosie was fantastic! She is so calm and knowledgeable and her presence was a great source of peace at our Freebirth to both my husband and myself. She was supportive and encouraging and took the time to get to know my husband and I and figure out exactly what we wanted for OUR birth so she could support us in it. She never intruded or pushed anything. We had a beautiful intimate homebirth and we were so comfortable with her being there, there was no awkwardness or anything. She had a few tips and tricks that were so useful to me. This was my third birth and I thought I like to labour on my own and didn't really need anyone. However I really appreciated having her there and doing her thing quietly and unobtrusively, it was such a support! I highly recommend her and know she will be a huge support on any birthing team ❤

Rosie was our doula for the birth of our beautiful son on the 24th of March 2022. It was such a nourishing and enriching experience. I felt so nurtured and at ease in her presence, and baby's dad was much reassured by her presence at the birth and the care she gave me afterwards. Her caring vibe extended to everyone, including my other kids, who all woke up towards morning and came out to greet their newest brother. Both Taylor and myself are so thankful to have found Rosie, to join us on this birthing journey of our little boy coming into the world. She is such an incredible woman and I would highly recommend her as a doula for any birthing mumma.

Frequently asked questions

WHY SHOULD I HIRE A DOULA?

Overall, women who have received continuos support from a doula have had: - 39% decrease in unplanned C-sections. - 15% increase in likelihood of spontaneous vaginal births. - 10% decrease in the use of pain medications. - an average reduction of 41 mins total labour time. - 38% decrease in chances of low 5 min APGAR. - 31% decrease in risk of being dissatisfied with their birth experience. - less likelihood of postpartum depression. In other words, hiring a doula makes you more likely to achieve the birth and postpartum of your dreams!

WILL YOU ATTEND A FREEBIRTH?

Yes! I support women in birth regardless of what that looks like - freebirth, homebirth or hospital birth; natural, epidural or ceasarian section. I have had two freebirths myself (read about them at https://www.therosiedoula.com.au/about-rosie). In the instance of a freebirth where there is no midwife or obstetrician present, a doula's services do not replace those of a trained health professional and the client takes full responsibility for all outcomes of these births.
