Why choose me?

I can confidently recommend me! But yes, please also consider the recomendation to chat with at least three Doulas, to help you find the right fit for you!

I've worked in the birth field for over fifteen years. I've mentored and educated under some the greatest midwives of the world. Being a Doula was a calling that came to me when women called me to serve them.

I am grounded and connected. I am present for myself, my family and my clients. I only work with a small handful of women to ensure the highest quality of presense and care.

I've evolved as a human and continue to do so. I am curious, interested and an on-going learner.

The hospital staff know me and respect that I am there to fully support a womans' chances of a natural, physiological, birth. Specific midwives are then assigned to work with the team, midwives that match that goal.

I have many talents as a Doula and one of those is my communication skills. I know when to enjoy quiet listening, when to ask polite and pertinent questions, when to reiterate your important wishes and requests, and when to loudly state your legal rights (if ever needed - luckily this final communication tool is NOT needed when the others are done right).

My clients get the BONUS of being in the Hypnobirthing Group Courses I run regularly. Fully included in your Doula Package! (This is part of our teamwork and rapport building).

My two, key, love languages are physical touch and quality time.

My FULL energies are for you - my children are older and very capable of self management/self care.

Send Nat a message to ask availability.

Let's chat BIRTH!!!! Wohohohoo!!!

You can breathe a sigh of relief....

Imagine breathing a big sigh of relief as you give yourself permission to set aside the overwhelming podcasts and the huge array of reading materials, and instead, work on a personal level, with a caring, wise guide, experienced at meeting you, wherever you are - right now.

See what parents are saying about working with Nat:

Wow I learnt so much, so many tips and tools. It was a paradigm shift for myself and my wife.

Arnie

You gave me: trust in my body, you gave my hubby: confidence and in-depth understanding of birth.

Lisa

It's the years of knowledge you have Nat that shine through. You have a calmness but confident way of giving and directing information about birth.

Zoe

You taught my husband and I how to communicate with each other effectively. We didn't even know we were lacking in that area!
