Some of the wonderful parents from my birth community, including Birth Doula clients, KGHypnobirthing families, Positive Birth Wellington parents and Birth Wise couples have generously agreed to share their birth story with you here.

On their own, each story is totally inspiring in it's own right. In these very real stories, you'll read about incredible moments, challenging moments, difficult moments, beautiful moments and transformative moments.  When put together, this page becomes a diverse collection of courageous birth experiences shared by parents just like you. Through this page, my intention is to show you that
  • You have no idea how brave and strong you are
  • Birth doulas support your choices
  • KGHypnobirthing benefits any family, in any circumstances
  • The end goal is more than a totally pain free, orgasmic birth (although it might be)
  • YOU CAN make a difference to how your baby’s birth unfolds
