For my first birth I went into birth assuming that midwives/OBs could calm me, guide me and tell me how to birth.
The truth is, birth is extremely HORMONAL and emotional and there is little a careprovider can do once a women enters her labour in a panic response.
I deep,y regretted NOT doing Hypnobirthing when I had the chance. It had crossed my mind, but the midwife I had asked was negative about my idea. I ended up ONLY doung the hospital course.

Another common mistake is women, supporters and partners, going into birth THINKING that are well prepared!
For example, thinking the hospital course is enough - when it barely scrapes the surface.
For example, listening to tons of podcasts that can make us feel well educated, but maybe not get us prepared in the positive way we actually need once the hormones get intense.
For example, choosing online learning and only learning things "up in the head"...
For example - knowing things in THEORY, but not having worked them deeply into our body wisdom yet.

YOU can't be a specialist in birth, neither can a supporter. Hiring a specialist is smart. Hiring a specialist is the best investment you'll ever make!
When women want to be truely loved, heard, supported and helped for their births, they hire a BIRTH DOULA.

I have learnt so much during my life, my births, and my career as a Birth Consultant.
Long, long, ago, when I birthed my first child, I had no birthing wisdom of any kind, I was panicking and fighting my own body during that birth and it meant that birth felt torturous and scary.
The Birth Course I had attended gave me nothing to ground me and nothing to have faith in. I didn't even know what was happening to my own body.
A year after my birth, I was awakened to the world of excellent and amazing birth education. (examples such as: Hypnobirthing, Embody Birth, Calm Birth, Shebirths, Birth Into Being etc)
Fast forward fifteen years and I’ve now educated over 1,000 families as a Private Birth Educator, and I have guided and emotionally supported at least another 2,000 families as a Doula, Counsellor and Birth-Community-Project Coordinator.

Nat Meade Birth Doula was exactly what I needed for safety, experience and empowerment.
April, 2026
Natalie was the steady presence and advocate I needed during such a vunerable time. She is exactly the kind of person you want in your corner. May, 2026
Natalie's support, experience and knowledge is amazing. I felt so understood, seen, loved, and heard.
You gave me: trust in my body, you gave my hubby: confidence and in-depth understanding of birth.
Your dedication, knowledge, tact, care and diligence were exceptional.
Your teachings protected my headspace and transformed me as a birthing woman.
I'm so grateful to have Nat as my Doula, she is such a wise woman and a calming and grounding presence in those exact moments when you need her.
As a pregnant woman, I wanted childbirth to feel special and celebrated during my care.
Born from this dream, the Newcastle Birth Movement is my gift to the local community, located in Warners Bay, Newcastle, NSW.
At the space, myself and our volunteer team, run a counselling room, a preloved maternity clothing room and many wonderful workshops.
We also offer complimentary birth circles, trauma counselling debriefs and doula chats + more.Drop in for a cup of tea anytime in our public drop in hours!
