“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 (and her little rainbow child)
Prior to birth we will do Hypnobirthing together and work in your home too (all part of your package). 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).
During your birth you can look forward to being supported to be intuitive and allow your body to do it’s special work.

Ruth Minter:
From Ruth “I hope to help women understand the very natural process of labour and have a chance to talk through their concerns and hopes for their labour experience before they get there. I will also provide time to debrief their labour afterwards with in-home visits to support them and their new baby.”
