More about me

Hello, I’m Sarah Ultimately, I am a doula because I believe compassionate care and having a supportive continuous presence by your side during the journey of childbirth and early parenthood is incredibly powerful. My dedication to being a doula stems from a desire to make a meaningful impact and to support families with kindness, understanding, and unwavering support. My own journey through motherhood has inspired me to support women as they transition into motherhood. Through my own experiences, I’ve realised the impact that compassionate, knowledgeable and consistent support can have during pregnancy, birth, and during the first year that follows. My background in problem-solving, advocacy, and nurturing instincts has naturally led me to the role of a doula, where I can use these skills to provide invaluable assistance to families. The challenges I’ve faced, including difficulties with breastfeeding, struggling to conceive, undiagnosed postnatal depression and navigating my husband’s cancer diagnosis, have fuelled my passion for supporting others through similar struggles. My desire to make a positive difference in the lives of families, coupled with my genuine care and empathy, drives me to continuously learn and grow in my role as a doula. I find fulfilment in providing reassurance, comfort, and encouragement to mothers during one of the most transformative and vulnerable times in their lives. BIRTH My goal as a birth doula is to offer a calming and supportive presence, guiding you to overcome any fears and replace them with a sense of empowerment as you prepare for childbirth. I will create a safe space for you, providing the necessary knowledge to help you make informed decisions. We will discuss your birth preferences, explore your ideal birth scenario and strategies on how to achieve it. I will present you with information, outline the advantages and disadvantages of different options, and bolster the choices you make, ensuring you and your partner feel well-informed and self-assured leading up to the birth. PARTNERS I stand on the edge of the action encouraging your partner to support you, reassuring them, calming their anxieties and nerves too, making helpful suggestions but willing to step in at any time to offer them a respite from their emotion without feeling they’re abandoning you. I hope my support brings you closeness and that I can be burdened with any tasks that neither of you need to be doing in the unique moment of birth.
