| Doula since: | 2004 |
| Trained with: | Birth Central (Denise Love) |
| About: | I have been a doula since the birth of my son changed my whole attitude to childbirth and I realised that I wanted to help women through this amazing rite of passage. I have since had three children of my own, two born at home. My role as a doula is to support the couple without judgement, giving them confidence through my experience in the birthing process. Those who have done JuJu Sundin's Active Childbirth classes can be confident that I understand Juju's techniques as I did her classes when I was pregnant with my first. ** Lucy is the administrator of www.findadoula.com.au and is the founder of Beer + Bubs, childbirth support workshops for dads, at the pub! ** |
| Testimonial: | "One of the best things that Lucy did for me as our doula was to be a great coach for by husband so that he could be involved in the birth. He was nervous about the birth but Lucy made him feel comfortable and useful. I can't imagine giving birth without her." Jacqueline, mother of Grace. |
| Birthing Doula: | Yes |
| Postnatal Doula: | No |
| Services offered: | I meet with you at least three times before the birth to familiarise myself with your birthing wishes and so that we can get to know each other. I usually work through a birth plan which helps to address just about everything. I attend the birth from the time that the birthing mother feels she really needs my support, until a couple of hours after the birth, usually once breastfeeding is established. I also visit a few days after the baby is born to let the birthing mother and her partner debrief on the experience. |
