My address is 135 Linton Street North, Byford, 6122
We live on a rural property so when you drive in, you will see a white picket fence, park here and enter through the white picket gate (I will most likely meet you at the gate). You will be greeted by our friendly black labrador, Rocky and our fluffy maltese shitzu, Ted. Neither jump up but they will want to sniff and say hello. If you don't like dogs, please let me know and I will put them away before your scheduled visit.
My phone number is 0409 485 098
My husbands phone number is 0418 524 456 (in the off chance you can’t reach me for some reason)
Please ask your birth partner to add my phone number to their phone, they are welcome to call me anytime they have questions (and they will probably be the one who calls me when you are in labour).
My back-up doula’s should only be called if you cannot reach me and you are in labour or have an emergency.

Sign Up for Prenatal Coaching Sessions
Prenatal Meetings
During our time together, before you give birth, we will have five face-to-face meetings that are tailored specifically to your unique pregnancy.
These visits are best done in your later pregnancy, from about 26 weeks onwards.
There are:
4 x 60-minute sessions
1 x 120-minute session (this one needs to be in-person as this is the partner support session where we use you as the live model & practice all the massage, accupressure, comfort measures, positions etc)
Until then, you are very welcome to message or email or phone me about any concerns or questions you have, I will be setting up our private WhatsApp chat.
When I set up the chat, I will be adding you and making you an "admin" so you can add your birth partner to this chat if you like or you can keep this chat just for yourself and I, whatever you prefer: I am here for you.
If you’ve had an appointment with your care providers and you want to debrief, or share anything with me, fill me in or ask questions, feel free to message or email me.
We usually do the first four visits in my home, where I have a private room set up.
But, I am happy to discuss/negotiate this depending on where you live, I can also meet you over ZOOM.
I would like the last visit to be in your home (if you are comfortable with that) so we can work together to find the best comfort measures that your birth partner (or team) will use in labour to support you.
We will use you as a model for light touch massage/rebozo practice and relaxation measures (best done about 4-6 weeks before your due date) and position suggestions and examples (and also to chat about the last minute things).
Also, if I will be your 1:1 in-person birth support doula seeing your home and knowing the layout will help me when you are in labour (especially if you call and ask me to come to you at night).
I usually come to your home when you are in labour to support you and help you decide when you are ready to go to the hospital.
Or, if you are home birthing, then it is great for me to know my way around your home so I can best support you.
As I homeschool my children, I am currently available for prenatal appointments on
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons. Also, some evenings and weekends.
If you have older children they are welcome to come to these appointments; I have a basket of toys and a fenced yard with a two-storey cubby house and sandpit that kids love and kangaroos on our property.
Just let me know if you are bringing children so I can prepare. (Just remember; We will get the most out of our sessions if you are able to focus and relax).
Because I’m pretty much always on call, I may have to cancel or reschedule our appointments at the last minute if I get the call from one of my birthing mums, but, I’ll always give you as much warning as I can if I get called out.
To book these appointments, you'll find my online calendar link below.
You are welcome to book them in whenever suits you but please note, you cannot schedule more than 3 months ahead :)
Everything is done on this app so just book in when you're ready, you don't have to do all 5 at once, and you can reschedule or cancel as needed.
Please book 4 sessions here Meet in Bonnie’s Home
Please book 1 session here Meet in Clients Home
I suggest you book these sessions starting at 26 or 28 weeks, it's great to do them fortnightly or three-weekly so we have them covered by the time you are 34-36 weeks (then if your baby comes 'early', we'll have it all covered)
So, book sessions for when you are roughly:
26-28 weeks
28-30 weeks
30-32 weeks
32-34 weeks
34-36 weeks (partner support session)
After 36 weeks we can phone chat if anything comes up or we can meet again if there are things you need to work through etc. Please note extra session details below.
After you have given birth, we will talk about the best time to meet for the birth debrief (if you desire this).
Extra Pre-natal Sessions
Additional sessions on top of our 5 sessions can be booked through this link and an extra cost of $350 will apply. Once you have purchased extra sessions, we can coordinate the timing to suit you best.
