My name is Chelsea and I am a DONA international certified doula and GentleBirth childbirth educator with a passion for supporting mothers and families during their pregnancy journey. I have kids who have all been born in countries not my own and can understand the challenges that come with that. I provide continuous care and a constant presence during labor as well as support during the months leading up to the day your little one comes earth side.

I provide parents with continuous doula support as well as birth photography. I am also trained in prenatal massage therapy and I have taken the Spinning Babies course to help get baby in the optimal position for birth.
After watching all of the beautiful and peaceful homebirths I was very disappointed that I was advised to go to the hospital due to my son being measured too small during my third trimester. After spending a night there I got very nervous and anxious and didn't quite know how it was all going to work out, as I was hell-bent on wanting a natural birth without being pushed by the Gynaecologist to induce my contractions. And in walks the lovely Chelsea...a clinical doula, something I knew existed (a doula) just not provided as a service in the hospital! Chelsea and I instantly connected and with her soft and sweet voice she helped me with breathing exercises, taking my mind away from the intense extractions. She even brought her own natural coconut oil with which she massaged all the areas that hurt or simply needed the pressure. She also spoke with the Gynaecologist and reassured my contractions we're coming every 10/5 minutes or so, which gave us the opportunity to initiate my labour naturally. I heard lots of horrible birth stories, especially those in hospitals, but I can honestly say I had an absolute wonderful birth thanks to Chelsea. Truly a gift from above to may have had you there with me. Both my partner and mother still ask about her and would love to see her again. We are eternally grateful for her and wish her all the best!
