Workshops and doula care /
I am Samantha, the Doula and educator behind ‘Into Motherhood’.
After becoming a mum myself, I realised how quickly a mother’s emotions can be overlooked in the medical environment. Everyone’s focus is understandably on getting the baby here safely, but when a woman feels scared, unsupported or overwhelmed during labour, her body responds to that too. Often, this may cause the baby’s descent to slow down.
The amazing medical team’s role is to keep mother and baby physically safe.
My role as a Doula is to help the mother feel emotionally safe, as labour is deeply hormonal and instinctive, and the nervous system plays a huge role. I support both physiological and medicated approaches to birthing a child, and understand the importance of both. As your Doula, I will work with you to find what works best for you
and your needs.
Below you will see the services I offer, as well as Childbirth and Postpartum Workshops. If you need support or guidance for something not listed, please reach out to me and I’ll be my best to accommodate you through your pregnancy and birth journey x

Every pregnancy and birth is special for every mother. I tailor each service to suit your wants and needs.
If you’re looking for a more personalised/intimate workshop, one that suits your schedule, then a private workshop might be just right for you and your partner.
Location: I will work with you to find a suitable place, typically at a Brisbane City Council Library.
A private workshop still covers all the important information and topics that the group workshop covers. Only now you are able to receive more hands on guidance, and tailored support.
Topics covered:
Labour stages
Coping techniques
Birth positioning
Breathing and relaxation
Partner support techniques
Understanding interventions
Hospital bag preparation
Birth planning
Swaddling Feeding positions
Bottle preparation
Newborn sleep expectations
Setting and soothing techniques
Maternal recovery

What realistic help actually looks like and how to ask for it

Pregnancy and the birth are both sacred and life changing experiences for women to experience. There can be a lot happening, medical appointments, hormonal challenges, expectations and labour.
