Welcome to Cape Doula
For too long women have been surrendering their power when they birth their babies. To take back your power means to ensure a trusted birth team. Your doula is that trained non medical childbirth professional that is available to you throughout your pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
All women, irrespective of her background deserves a dignified birth experience. The transformation of womanhood to motherhood changes your identity forever. The phenomenal milestone of childbirth in a woman's life, by whichever means, brings along the emergence of a newfound confidence and self realisation. A traumatic birth has the opposite effect and unhealed trauma remains with the woman. A doula helps to remove fears which can be the obstacle for your trauma free birth. My services are based on "mothering the mother" free of bias, expectations and cultural norms. I am committed to being there for you to walk this road on your terms.
I have experience in postpartum care for moms and have personal and professional experience of premature and preterm babies through my work as a volunteer at the Kangaroo Care Ward at Mowbray Maternity Hospital.
I am a W.O.M.B.S certified Birth doula and am available for clients in the following Hospitals and Centres:
Gatesville Melomed, Rondebosch Medical Centre, Life Vincent Palotti,Life Kingsbury Hospital , Medi Clinic Constantiaberg, Al Nisa Maternity Home, Hanover Park MOU(govt),Mowbray Maternity hospital (Govt), Netcare Christian Barnard Hospital.
