Cherish Birth | With you from pregnancy to parenthood | Illawarra Birth Doula

Alyssa has been a presence in the birth space for 16 years, a decade of that as a practising birth doula, and in that time she has sat with families through some of the most profound, complex, and transformative moments of their lives. She is fiercely passionate about maternal autonomy and informed decision making. Her work centres on helping families uncover their birth values, understand their options, and navigate a maternity system that doesn't always make that easy. Alyssa doesn't just support births, she advocates for them. In your Doula Dates sessions with Alyssa, that advocacy comes to life as birth plans, rights, preferences, and navigating care providers are all on the table while she works alongside you to help you find your voice and know how to use it. Beyond her doula work, Alyssa is a doula educator, babywearing consultant, and childbirth and parenting educator. She volunteers with Better Births Illawarra, Still Aware, and The Nurtured Village Hamper, because for Alyssa this work doesn't stop at the birth room door and it never has. It is a commitment to her community and to the families within it, and she is, in the truest sense, a force in the Illawarra birth space.
