Hunter: Find a Doula

“Enjoy finding a great doula match for YOU!”  
~ Natalie Meade

Here is a current, list of active doulas in the Newcastle/Lake Mac and Hunter regions)(if you are a doula, please message me and I will add you in – this is a free service for the benefit of local pregnant women). 

LOCAL DOULA LIST:

Myself! 

Natalie Meade (apparently from this pic – an expert in doula-ing toddlers in spas? lol)

“I am happy to travel to where ever you are labouring/birthing.

My package includes participation within one of my face-to-face,  “Hypnobirthing + Extras” courses. My education-style is informative, eye-opening and empowering. Our work together will allow you (and your supporter) to discover how amazing womens’  bodies are. 

During birth, I am your steady rock that completely believes in you, I am calm in the space as I completely believe in birth (I “free-birthed” my last baby and have experienced, first hand, how powerful instinct is). 

I work with you and your team to ensure your atmosphere is private and emotionally safe so that you can be intuitive and follow and allow your body to do it’s special work. 

Ph: 0406 934 645 (I offer free 15 minute ‘Chats with Nat’)
