The Rosie Doula

I didn’t get the privilege of having Rosie as my doula, but that didn’t stop her support throughout my pregnancy and postpartum period. I unfortunately had a really horrible experience within my hospital and health care staff. Rosie gave me the validation and advice that really kept my head above water while my little one was in special care. I know if I had Rosie on my team I would have had a complete different experience and outcome. This really is her calling and anyone who has her as their doula is blessed! Thank you Rosie for being there for me even hundreds of kms away. - Gabrielle

Rosie is naturally so kind and patent. She will believe in you, and your birthing abilities before you believe in yourself. Trust Rosie to make you feel like a birth goddess! - Lauren H

I cannot recommend Rosie enough! She truly helped us achieve the birth we had been hoping for. She supported both me and my husband throughout the antenatal, birth and postpartum periods and provided so much knowledge for us to use when making decisions. She had good knowledge of hypnobirthing techniques and language , and had many other additional skills in her doula kit.We know that Rosie will definetly be apart of our future births as she was the perfect addition to our birth team. - Rachael B

Rosie was fantastic! She is so calm and knowledgeable and her presence was a great source of peace at our Freebirth to both my husband and myself. She was supportive and encouraging and took the time to get to know my husband and I and figure out exactly what we wanted for OUR birth so she could support us in it. She never intruded or pushed anything. We had a beautiful intimate homebirth and we were so comfortable with her being there, there was no awkwardness or anything. She had a few tips and tricks that were so useful to me. This was my third birth and I thought I like to labour on my own and didn't really need anyone. However I really appreciated having her there and doing her thing quietly and unobtrusively, it was such a support! I highly recommend her and know she will be a huge support on any birthing team ❤ - Elise

The best decision we made to prepare for the birth of our son was hiring Rosie. She is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and kind, and prompt to respond to all our communication. The prenatal meet ups made us feel prepared to welcome and care for our son when he arrived. Pre and post birth, Rosie was right there to offer support and advice when I needed it and was a source of comfort and inspiration. Since the birth of our son, Rosie has continued to support and help us adjust to life with our new baby. We love and unequivocally recommend Rosie! Rosie thankyou for sharing your passion with the world. It’s so evident that you love what you do and inspire so many couples to be strong and fearless when it comes to birthing their babies. I am so grateful for everything you did for us. Thankyou for putting together the most beautiful blessing-way, for helping my partner and I prep for my sons home birth, and for the pre and post natal care ❤️ - Rachael S

Rosie was our doula for the birth of our beautiful son on the 24th of March 2022. It was such a nourishing and enriching experience. I felt so nurtured and at ease in her presence, and baby's dad was much reassured by her presence at the birth and the care she gave me afterwards. Her caring vibe extended to everyone, including my other kids, who all woke up towards morning and came out to greet their newest brother. Both Taylor and myself are so thankful to have found Rosie, to join us on this birthing journey of our little boy coming into the world. She is such an incredible woman and I would highly recommend her as a doula for any birthing mumma. - Sequoia

I am so happy that I said yes to having Rosie there to support me during my homebirth. She was everything I didn’t know I needed. Her words of encouragement, calm nature and overall service was highly valued. I would definitely recommend Rosie’s services to anyone wanting someone on their side during these special times. - Tanya

Rosie hosted my mothers blessing a couple of weeks ago and it was nothing short of magical. She held the space for us all so beautifully and helped me sink deeper into my birthing journey. If you are considering having a mothers blessing, I cannot recommend Rosie enough. - Lauren

Rosie’s calming energy and knowledge helped us feel supported during the home birth of our second child. She was a big part of creating the birth experience I had envisioned. We highly recommend Rosie for your doula as she is the support person you didn’t know you needed. - Jaymi

Rosie is an angel! I chose her as my doula because we are like-minded about birthing. I knew I could trust her wisdom and presence in my birth space and along my pregnancy journey. Although our baby came before she made it to the birth (he was in a hurry 😂), I was so glad to have her there in the moments after. (Rosie guided me through the first feed and birthing the placenta.) I particularly loved her calming, reassuring presence, gentle wisdom, and her respect of my choices during golden hour. I felt well thought of and cared for during the pregnancy and post partum periods also. I would definitely have her as our doula again. ❤ Hubby's input: "I think she did a really good job... She was very professional." - Chantelle

Thank you so much Rosie for the amazing support role you played in free birthing my beautiful girl into the world on 28/12/2022. Rosie has this calming energy that I instantly felt as soon as she came into the room where I was labouring. She intuitively knew exactly what I needed. Rosie supported all my choices and decisions and allowed me the power to have my birth on my own terms. I felt safe in her presence and hugely supported. I also didn’t think I would need as much support as what I did and I am so grateful Rosie was there guiding me through every surge and providing the best counter hip pressure (this was life saving). Rosie also made it so easy to prepare for a home birth as she has such knowledge, experience and wisdom. Rosie also did my placenta encapsulation and my goodness it has made such a difference in my postpartum recovery highly recommend doing this for any birthing mother. If I decide to have more children Rosie will definitely be the person I call on to support me. Highly recommend Rosie and her services. - Emma

I can’t recommend Rosie enough! My first birth ended in caesarean and I was very determined to have a different outcome for my second and consider all options that could help me achieve a VBAC. I was confident in my body and felt well researched, so a part of me wondered whether I needed a doula or not… My partner was also a bit skeptical, wondering why I wanted someone I didn’t know to be there… As soon as I met Rosie, I felt so comfortable with her and quickly decided to have her at my birth. She was an invaluable source of support for both myself and my partner and a very calming presence - especially in our few times of doubt (whether it was time to leave for hospital yet, during prolonged pushing stage etc). Her knowledge of techniques for natural pain relief such as counter pressure on hips really helped me through every contraction. She taught my partner to do them too and I felt so supported through the whole labour. We also had plenty of laughs along the way which kept me in a good mind space. She assured me I was doing everything well and really helped me push on during those later stages of labour when I was losing energy. Rosie was absolutely worth her weight in gold and I achieved the birth I wanted. You can tell she genuinely cares and enjoys the work she does, which makes all the difference. I loved the photos she captured of those special moments and also how she advocated for my wishes during and post birth, at times when I would have easily forgot to voice them. Can’t thank you enough Rosie!
