Birth is one of life's most profound rites of passage.

It has the power to shape not only how we meet our babies, but how we meet ourselves.

As your birth doula…

My role is to walk beside you with unwavering presence, evidence-based knowledge, and deep trust in your innate ability to birth. I believe every woman deserves to feel safe, heard, informed and deeply supported throughout pregnancy, birth and the sacred postpartum journey.

I primarily work with those planning a home birth or birth centre birth.

However no matter the outcome of your birth, I offer continuous emotional, physical and educational support, helping you feel calm, connected and confident as you prepare to welcome your baby.

Together we create a space where you can make informed choices, honour your intuition, and approach birth feeling empowered rather than fearful.

Every birth is unique.

My intention is never to control your experience, but to help you feel deeply supported within it whatever path your birth takes.

  • A birth doula is someone who walks alongside you through pregnancy, birth and the early days of motherhood, offering emotional, physical and practical support along the way.

    Unlike your midwife or medical team, a doula doesn't provide clinical care or make decisions for you.

    I'm there for you.

    I get to know you, what matters to you, what you're hoping for, what you're worried about and what helps you feel safe.

    During pregnancy, we prepare together. We can explore your birth preferences, your fears, your nervous system, breath, comfort measures, decision-making and how your partner can feel confident and involved.

    When labour begins, I provide continuous support through the experience, helping you find positions that feel good, using breath and movement, offering reassurance, creating a calm environment and helping you stay connected to yourself as things unfold.

    And when your baby arrives, my support doesn't simply stop.

    The early days of motherhood can be tender, overwhelming and completely transformative. I'm there to help you process your experience, settle into this new chapter and remind you that you matter too.

    A DOULA DOESN'T TELL YOU HOW TO BIRTH.

    I won't tell you what choices to make or what your birth should look like.

    My role is to help you feel informed, empowered and supported enough to make choices that feel right for you.

    Because birth isn't about doing it perfectly.

    It's about knowing you were supported, heard and cared for along the way.

    You don't have to navigate birth alone.

  • You're excited.

    You're nervous.

    You're somewhere in between.

    Maybe you've never given birth before and don't know what to expect.

    Maybe you've given birth before and know exactly what you don't want to repeat.

    Maybe you want your partner to feel more confident too.

    Or maybe you're simply looking for someone who will sit beside you and say:

    "I've got you. Let's take this one step at a time."

  • ANTENATAL SUPPORT

    We'll get to know you, your hopes, your fears and your preferences.

    We'll explore birth preparation, nervous system support, comfort measures, communication, decision-making and how your partner can be involved.

    This isn't about creating the perfect birth plan.

    It's about helping you feel prepared for your birth.

    BIRTH SUPPORT

    When labour begins, I'll be there to support you physically, emotionally and practically.

    Depending on what you need, this might look like:

    • Breath and relaxation techniques

    • Positioning and movement

    • Massage and physical comfort

    • Creating a calm environment

    • Emotional reassurance

    • Advocacy and communication support

    • Helping you and your partner navigate decisions

    • Supporting your partner to feel confident and involved

    I'm not there to take over.
    I'm there to help you find your way.

    POSTPARTUM SUPPORT

    The first days and weeks matter too.

    We'll make space to process your birth, support your transition into motherhood and help you feel held as you navigate the reality of life with a new baby.

  • I don't replace your midwife or medical team.

    I work alongside them.

    My role is non-clinical and centred around emotional, physical and informational support.

Option One:

THE BIRTH JOURNEY

A deeply held journey through pregnancy, birth & early motherhood.

Birth is not just the moment your baby arrives.

It is a threshold, a profound transition into a new version of yourself.

The Birth Journey is my most complete doula offering, created to support you through the emotional, physical and practical layers of this transformation.

From preparing for birth, to being held through labour, to those tender first weeks with your baby, you don't have to navigate it alone.

YOUR JOURNEY INCLUDES

  • Two personalised antenatal sessions where we slow down, connect and prepare for your birth.

    Together we'll explore your hopes, fears, birth preferences, nervous system, breath, comfort measures, decision-making and how your partner can feel confident and involved.

    You'll also have ongoing support from me throughout your pregnancy.

  • From 37 weeks, I'll be on call for your birth.

    When the time comes, I'll be there to offer continuous emotional, physical and practical support — helping you stay connected to yourself, your body and your choices as your birth unfolds.

    I'll work alongside your midwife and medical team, while supporting you and your partner to navigate the experience together.

  • Because you deserve to be cared for too.

    Your package includes two postpartum visits where we can slow down, check in, talk through your birth and support you as you find your feet in those early weeks.

    And because nourishment matters, you'll also receive:

    4 nourishing meals + a nourishing sweet treat

    Prepared as a little reminder that while you're caring for your baby, you deserve to be cared for too.

    THROUGHOUT YOUR JOURNEY

    You'll have access to ongoing support, resources and personalised practices to help you feel grounded and connected throughout pregnancy and the early postpartum period.

    This is not about creating the perfect birth.

    It's about helping you feel prepared for the possibilities, supported through the unknown and connected to yourself along the way.

  • $3,800 NZD

    Payment plans available.

  • You want more than someone who simply turns up when labour begins.

    You want a relationship.

    Someone who knows you, understands what matters to you and can walk beside you through the whole journey.

    Someone who can hold space when you're uncertain, remind you of your own strength when you forget it, and care for you — not just the baby.

You don't have to know exactly how your birth will unfold.

You just don't have to walk towards it alone.

Option Two:

THE BEFORE & AFTER

Support to prepare for birth, and space to be cared for afterwards.

Birth preparation often focuses on the day your baby arrives.

YOUR JOURNEY INCLUDES

  • 2 x personalised antenatal sessions

    We'll create space to prepare for birth from the inside out.

    Together we'll explore:

    • Your hopes, fears and expectations around birth

    • Birth preferences and decision-making

    • Nervous system support and regulation

    • Breath and relaxation practices

    • Connecting with your body and intuition

    • Practical tools for labour and birth

    • Preparing emotionally for the transition into motherhood

    You'll also have ongoing email/message support between sessions.

    You'll also have ongoing support from me throughout your pregnancy.

  • 2 x postpartum visits

    Because the birth may be over, but your journey is only beginning.

    These visits are a space to slow down, be heard and receive support as you navigate those first weeks.

    We can make space for:

    • Processing and reflecting on your birth

    • Your emotional wellbeing

    • The transition into motherhood

    • Your changing identity

    • Your relationship with your body

    • Your relationship with your partner

    • Nervous system support

    • Rest, nourishment and practical postpartum care

    There is no pressure to have it all figured out.

    You get to arrive exactly as you are.

  • $1,250 NZD

    Payment plans available.

  • You feel confident about having your own birth team but want deeper support around the edges.

    You want to prepare intentionally rather than simply wait for labour to begin.

    And you want someone there afterwards to help you process, integrate and find your feet.

    Prepare for birth.
    Be held through the transition.
    Come home to yourself.

The Before & After is for the mama who wants dedicated support during pregnancy and the early postpartum period. It’s about creating space to prepare emotionally and practically for birth, then be held as she settles into life with her baby.

ENQUIRE ABOUT BEFORE AND AFTER

Birth Doula Christchurch

“We used Libby as our Doula for the birth of our daughter in November 2023.

As the birthing mother, I found Libby's approach to be intuitive, engaging and very authentic. 

I loved how, during the preparation, we discussed my needs in detail, and all the different ways that Libby could offer herself to meet those various needs. She deeply supported the birth we were working towards experiencing, and helped create our wishes alongside us.

During the birth, Libby was like a pillar inside the birth team. She naturally could intuit when to be in the space with me and when to be off to the side - for example, when I was with my birth partner or midwife.

I would highly recommend Libby as a Doula at anyone's birth.

Her warm, yet strong presence was a gift inside our birth experience. ”

— Former Client

Birth is more than the arrival of a baby.

It is the birth of a mother, too.

Every mother deserves to be held as she transforms.
