Doula and

Birthkeeper 

 

Face to face support with a doula or birthkeeper is by far the best way to ensure that you and your partner feel well supported throughout your pregnancy, birth and early postpartum journey.

Hiring a trained professional to join your birth team, who, offers confidence and experience in the birth room, is a familiar face to you and your partner, and helps you to understand how to navigate the maternity system – is an investment you will never fail to be grateful you made.

Taking time to develop your philosophies for birth and share your preferences with your team, offers them the confidence to identify exactly how they can support you on the day and give the right practical, emotional and physical support to you, if and when needed.

Online Antenatal Courses

 

I believe that attending the right antenatal course is essential when it comes to birth preparation. Whilst I recognise that you may want to sign up to attend a local course to meet other couples, it is also important to remember that standard antenatal education does not always prepare you and your partner in the right way – for the birth you are planning.  

If you have friends, family members and colleagues who have given birth over the last few years, I’m sure you are already aware that the vast majority of their births were not positive experiences, no-doubt leaving them feeling like they simply didn’t know enough to protect themselves from the cascade of intervention.

My courses are different!

I give you access to information that is not taught on other courses, simply because I know what information truly supports you – ensuring you can achieve your dream birth and have the incredible experience you deserve.

Podcast & Books

 

In addition to my face to face and online support, I wanted to be able to give you and your partner the opportunity to read and listen to valuable information – that will help to educate you both on a deeper level – during times of the day or night that are convenient to you.

My podcast is available across all platforms, and my books and journals are for sale with all online booksellers – and to order from your local bookstore – no matter where you live in the world.

Birth Debrief

I offer you the ability to discuss your previous birth experience. This can help you gain some clarity on why your birth happened in a particular way – and will support you moving forward in preparation for birth.

Doula Mentor

I offer all doulas and birthkeepers the opportunity to be mentored by me for either a one off session, throughout a birth, or for a period of time. This can help to develop your skills and gain confidence in your role.

Sleep Consult

I offer the chance to discuss your child’s sleep, and help them through their developmental milestones smoothly and easily. I support all ages up to 5yrs, and will discuss and write a personalised sleep plan.

Daniella

‘I decided to get a doula for my second birth before I was even pregnant. Leading up to my HBAC (Home Birth After Caesarean) Sallyann constantly reassured me of my ability to birth my baby and helped to boost my confidence. She was such a calming presence and it made a huge difference to me knowing she was around at my birth.’

Laura

‘Without attending an antenatal course with Sallyann, I would not have achieved my VBAC. I will be eternally grateful for her un-picking our first birth with us, and then filling in the gaps of our knowledge to help us learn more about the birthing process. When our son was born, just the way we had planned, I felt healed from the awful time I had with our daughter. I am so proud of myself and love having a newborn this time.’

Nermin

‘I highly recommend these books for anyone who wants to learn more about labour and birth and what actually happens in the body. The knowledge contained within helps to empower you to take control of your birth experience. My husband and I also listen to the weekly podcasts and have enjoyed preparing for our baby’s birth experience.’

David

‘I had no idea what to expect when Lucy became pregnant. I knew I wanted to support her at the birth, but I was not sure how. Your book helped me to recognise the role I would play, and the importance of the preparation sessions. I cannot believe just how much it helped me in the end. I referred to it alot on the day by using the kindle version on my phone! Thank goodness, because I would have been stuck otherwise. I am so grateful for your knowledge.’

Claire

‘Just wanted to thank you again for your support over the past few months. You have been simply amazing and gave us so much confidence and reassurance. Having started this journey thinking that I would need the maximum pain relief possible and it would be the worst experience ever, it turned out to be the best thing I’ve ever done – in no small part thanks to you Sallyann. What you do is priceless and you’ve made our journey so special. Thank you so much again.’
