Come join the visual adventure all things birth and beyond related. Lets get connected!
woohoo, you’re growing a tiny human!
From the moment you find out you’re pregnant, to birth, through to postpartum can feel like being handed a book with each chapter written by a different author, but no one bothered to read the previous chapters.
And let’s talk about those hush-hush chats in our gal pals’ circles about labour being an epic horror show. It’s like sharing ghost stories around the campfire, only it’s about giving birth!
And as if that’s not enough, society’s nudge for us to be back in action mere weeks after popping out a human is like expecting a cake to bake in seconds.
What do I believe the missing puzzle piece is? The lack of a seamless flow of care.
We, as incredible women, embark on this monumental adventure into motherhood and boy, does it take a village!
Kind Words…
If you’re reading this review I can safely assume that you/your partner are currently pregnant and are researching supports for this journey. Look no further than Brooke, she will be the best investment you make in this stage of your life.
Choosing Brooke was the best decision my husband and I made throughout our entire pregnancy journey. As first-time parents, we knew we didn't want to navigate the biggest day of our lives unprepared. We planned for a hospital birth and decided to enlist a doula's support. Recognising the complexities of labor and delivery, we understood the importance of having a third person to guide us through the process and advocate for us within the healthcare system. When we stumbled across Brooke, she was the perfect fit - the seamless blend of personable and professional. She instantly felt like part of our village.
Brooke was with us for 18+ hours during my labour and birth. With her guidance, I was able to navigate through a completely unmedicated birth with newfound strength. I can truely say it was a positive and magical experience. Brooke was a champion for my birth preferences and had unwavering confidence in my ability to birth physiologically.
Brooke knew exactly what to do in different moments during labour, suggesting I change positions, applying counter pressure, and offering soft soothing touches that eased each contraction. She understood the delicate balance of being present yet unobtrusive, allowing my husband and me to stay cocooned in our oxytocin bubble while being the best birth mate to us both.
After our baby arrived, Brooke seamlessly transitioned into postpartum support. While my husband enjoyed precious skin-to-skin time with our newborn, she helped me get changed, anticipating my needs before I even realised them. She continued to be a key pillar of support in the postpartum period. She not only provided nutritious meals and snacks and hung out a few loads of laundry, but also offered supportive chats that reassured us both and reminded us that we were doing great.
Brooke isn’t just a doula, she’s a genuinely lovely person who is passionate about supporting women and their partners through what should be the best day of your lives. You’ll want her to be your birth mate for you too. Thank you Brooke, we are forever grateful!

“I probably haven't told you enough, but you absolutely 1000% changed Michael and my whole outlook on not only our birth journey but pregnancy and parenting if I'm honest. We were slightly sceptical about hypnobirthing originally but I can hand on heart say that I would not have been so calm and in control of myself over my pregnancy and birth if it wasn't for doing hypnobirthing with you. I can never thank you enough for all the support and love you gave me. Even with the distance between us at times I felt fully supported by you. You empowered me to make decisions right for me and my baby. Honestly... you have my whole heart. Thank you.

Thanks to Brooke the birth of my second son was such a positive experience. Brooke helped me to fully understand the birth process and what my body was actually capable of. I never dreamed I’d be able to have such a great birth but thanks to her support it was an amazing experience. Her postpartum doula support was also next level, bringing the most amazing meals and warm loving support to both me and my baby. Thank you Brooke for helping open my eyes to how magical birth really can be. I recommend Brooke’s support for any expecting and new mums out there, it will change your life!
