hey mama,

I'm Sammi, your local multi-hat-wearing birth & postpartum doula & Child & Infant First Aid / CPR educator.  (I'm also a Birth & Family photographer over at www.heartandhomephotography.com.au)

Birth Doula
 

As a mother who has experienced childbirth within the maternity system, I understand how transformative and impactful birth can be. It’s not just an event that passes by; it stays with you forever. That's why I am dedicated to helping women birth on their own terms, honouring their personal values and choices around childbirth. I aim to provide families with comprehensive, evidence-based information about their options for birth, including setting up the right birth plan (unique to you), exploring pain relief and interventions, and making informed decisions about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care.

 

As your birth doula:

- I want you to be aware of all your options surrounding birth including the tools and techniques available to you, both non-medical and medical.

- I provide evidence-based information - I can link you in with service providers that align with your values

- I provide practical and emotional support during labour & birth

- I support your partner/primary support person, as birth often leaves partners feeling helpless 

- Support you if you are having a premature birth - in person or virtual support available

​​

Postpartum Doula

I also understand the challenges new mothers face in postpartum, especially without a strong support network. I’m here to help you build that "village" and prepare for a nurtured postpartum experience. In this phase, I assist families in celebrating the joys and navigating the struggles of early parenthood, offering guidance on newborn care, breastfeeding, and infant sleep. I will help with light housework around your home & cook for you in your home should you wish. My goal is to ensure you feel supported and empowered as you step into this sacred journey, watching your unique family story unfold. I also make myself available to support you beyond the immediate postpartum period, as each age & stage of your child's life brings new challenges, and it's just nice to have support from someone who genuinely cares, who gets it and isn't judging you.

​

First Aid trainer
I am an ex-nurse, now working with my mother's First Aid training business (Fast Action First Aid), offering both nationally recognized first aid/CPR trainings, aswell as private in-home Child & Infant First Aid / CPR education, that are both comprehensive & individualised, to parents and carers through this business. 

These private Child & Infant First Aid / CPR sessions are held in the comfort of your own home. These sessions cover the topics of CPR, Choking, Asthma, Anaphylaxis, Burns, Fevers, Rashes, Respiratory distress and more!

When we journey together, you can be rest assured that I'm considering your whole motherhood journey from the beginning, into the many years ahead of you. I look forward to working with you and your family soon!
