"Thank you so much for being at my birth,
for not only bringing your amazing energy
but also for Poppy.
It was perfect and flowed so naturally.
I couldn't have asked for better.
Tonight Poppy and I were discussing [birth]events,
she said at the end, Cindy put me to bed AND sang me a song.
When I asked what song, she said "One she sings to her boys",
Oh my Heart xxxxx Thank you "

Hi, I'm Cindy
I'm a Melbourne birth doula and educator and I want more women feeling confident about the magnificence of their birthing body and remembering a birth they felt autonomous and super present to.
I want women to feel FULLY SUPPORTED and SUPER SAFE to TRUST THEIR INTUITION and body to birth their babies strongly into the world.
And I have a secret desire to ensure Birth Partners are super confident, SKILLED and knowledgeable to create the loved - up birth bubble environment for the birth you are seeking.
I have birthed three babies naturally, undisturbed and fully supported.
One of my babies decided to come before his EDD (not in MY plan), one before the midwife arrived and one before I had time to wash my beach hair - but let's leave those glorious stories for another time because

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When is the best time to employ a doula ?
The general answer is anytime however ideally you want to be booked into and starting your first antenatal session & birth education by 20 weeks. In my experience this is best to navigate everthing we need to get through however I also know this is not always possible and for MANY REASONS women come to me later or much earlier. Awareness of what you want and conviction on being committed to your vision, with support set ups are more of an indicator of getting the birth you want than the time you book in.
How do i know you are the right doula for me ?
I offer a free Doula discovery call - which is your opportunity to suss me out 7 check availabity for your birth time.
