YogiMama - Prenatal Yoga, Birth Doula

I don’t think words can accurately describe just how grateful we are to have found Sarah to be our doula for the birth of our first little babe – but let me try.Our search for a doula started when we were waitlisted for the Hunter Midwifery Group Practise and we wanted continuity of care to help guide us as first-time parents. Sarah instantly stood out with her experience, knowledge, and way of gently challenging my pre-conceived notions about birth being ‘scary’. I loved her pre-natal yoga classes to help prepare my body for the birth and connecting with other likeminded mamma’s to be; and my husband and I had great conversations around the different paths birth could take, facilitated by Sarah, so we were fully informed and prepared to make any number of decisions needed to bring our little one safely into this world.When we were offered a spot at the Belmont Midwifery Group Practice, our work with Sarah meant I felt informed enough to make the change, which lead to us having our amazing natural birth experience at the Birth Centre with no medical interventions.Birth Photography was also included in our package, and while I hadn’t given it much thought in the lead up, I’m so delighted we have the incredible images Sarah captured to look back on the day we became a family, along with the recording of our little girl's birth story, that was filled with laughter, which we look forward to sharing with her one day.Thank you Sarah, we're so glad we had you on our Birth Team!

Sarah provides such a beautiful nurturing space for women at all stages of pregnancy, as well as mums and bubs. I highly recommend her classes.

I cannot recommend Sarah & her yoga classes highly enough. She has created such a serene & welcoming environment for us to practice yoga & connect with other mums/mums to be. I thoroughly enjoy the thought provoking conversations on different birth topics each week and love hearing her amazing wisdom from her experiences as a doula & a mother herself. Thank you for everything you do for the mums of Newcastle & Lake Macquarie xx

I attended yoga with Sarah from almost 18 weeks up until the day before I gave birth 3 days after my due date. The yoga itself is accessible and restorative, but Sarah's generosity with her knowledge as a doula and mother make her classes such a incredibly valuable experience. I'm so glad I was able to attend yoga with Sarah through my pregnancy and I think it played a big part in me achieving the birth I had hoped for.
