Birth is a momentous occasion in a woman's life. The day you give birth will be forever etched in your memory. A life changing experience!
I believe it is vital for every pregnant woman to know about her birthing options and make choices with awareness and to have the support available to create an ideal birth team. It is also important for her partner to feel comfortable and to feel safe and supported as this can be an overwhelming experience for a first time father. I will get to know your partner and show him how he can support you effectively and how he will be able to share his presence in a way that makes him feel most comfortable.

I run BEER + BUBS ~ childbirth support workshops for Dads at the pub with fellow Doula, Paula Bruckard, on the last Monday of the Month at The Lion Hotel - Melbourne Street North Adelaide. Beer + Bubs is a one-night workshop at the pub where dads can learn how to support their partner through the birth of their baby. It helps men gain the practical knowledge they need to be involved in the births of their children in a positive way. Beer + Bubs is perfect for first time fathers who don't know what they're in for as well as those going back for a second or third round who weren't well prepared the first time. It's ideal for expectant dads who have soldiered through the antenatal classes, bored to snores but have come out the other end with little practical understanding of what their job at the birth and for those who don't have time to do weeks of antenatal classes.
