​I am Sophie; mum to Poppy & Lottie, wife to Ross, and qualified doula from Adelaide, SA.  
I completed my doula training with the Australian Doula College at the end of 2013 and not long after, completed the Certificate IV in Doula Support Services.  

I am passionate about birth, babies, breastfeeding, and the spectrum of choices involved.  I fully believe in a woman’s innate ability to give birth without intervention but I also understand there are times when intervention is truly necessary. My role is to support without bias and provide information as required. 
​
As your doula I will support you in all of your choices, help to guide you through your options, and hopefully inspire you to find your inner strength to birth with confidence.

​Please email me via the Contact tab if you would like further information about the services I can offer you, or to make an appointment for an obligation-free interview.

​
I'm currently on a break from taking on birth clients and cannot commit
to attending births for the foreseeable future. 
I am still running Beer and Bubs: childbirth education for men at the pub
with the amazing Erin from Nurture the Goddess, and I still offering
Birth Planning sessions (see my Packages for more info).  
I will absolutely return to supporting births sometime in the future but for now
this is right decision for me, and for my family.
​
With love and blessings,

"Imagine what might happen if women emerged from their labor beds with a renewed sense of the strength and power of their bodies, and of their capacity for ecstasy through giving birth”
