WELCOME. I’M BONNIE.

You’re pregnant?

Firstly, warmest congratulations!

There’s nothing quite as amazing as carrying a tiny little human inside you is there?

And, you’re looking for some extra support?

A doula maybe?

Well, here I am…

I’m a birth coach and I’m ready to take your hand and partner with you as we journey through the labyrinth of motherhood together.

If you are looking for in-person pregnancy, labour and birth coaching and support in Perth, Western Australia…

I invite you to take three minutes to watch this video

I am a Mother to the Mother and TOGETHER we will brave birth

Having had 5 babies myself, I know that you may be feeling a touch overwhelmed.

Perhaps unsure about the unknowns of pregnancy, labour and birth?

There’s just so much to know, and you want to do it well. You don’t have the luxury of a ‘test-run’ when it comes to birth (even if you’ve had a baby before, this birth will be different).

You know you want to feel calm, confident, capable and informed throughout your pregnancy and birth, and in the early days of newborn care.

But, how do you do that?

Who teaches you this?

As women, we feel safe and empowered when we feel protected, nurtured, comforted and ‘held’.

Birthing mums have traditionally been surrounded (physically and metaphorically) by female relatives and wise women. Thankfully, in the last 50 or so years, male birth partners have joined the birth space and greatly benefit from the wisdom and experience of the extra birth support a doula provides.

You know that no-one can ‘take’ birth away from you, it is your right of passage into motherhood.

Yet, you may not know how or where to find out what you need to know or who your community is.

Where are the mothers for the mothers?

Where are the experienced people who will teach your birth partner the way?

Who will prepare your birth partner to be your best support?

Who will show them how to really connect with you?

Where are these people?

Well… I’m here.

No matter where you are in your journey so far, would you like me to take your hand and journey with you and your birth partner the rest of the way?

There isn’t a “right” way to give birth, every birth is unique and that requires tailored support.

I believe it is your body, your birth and your baby.

And I will support you unconditionally.

If you are looking for respectful and committed support, you’ll find it with me.

I’ve been supporting couples through pregnancy and birth since 2002. I come from a long line of birth support women.

My mother and grandmother were both doulas and several other women in my family are midwives.

Birth has always been a central theme in my life.

You can tell me what’s important to you and what your birth goals are and I’ll help you use and build your inner strength so you are ready for birthing your precious baby.

When you are faced with decisions or crossroads or curve balls, I will share evidence based information with you so you can make the best choices for your unique situation and I’ll guide you as you understand your options.

Book a no-pressure meeting with me to see if I am the right doula for you.

If you are looking for virtual support, have a look at my TOGETHER WE BIRTH online birth course.

Connection is everything.

Birth is a vulnerable time, not just for you but for your birth partner too.

You both need to feel safe and comfortable with me.

So, first, send me a message to see if I am available for your dates.

And then, let’s meet for a chat.

Not sure where to start? I got you.

Say goodbye to overwhelm and hello to a soulful, empowered birth journey with the 'Birth Strategy Guide' – your path to a deeply personal and confident birthing experience.
