Birth Yurt Doula Service
A Doula means ‘to mother the mother’ – A Doula is trained and experienced to support women and couples in pregnancy and childbirth. A Doula has training in the physiology of birth but is not medically trained, and will not provide medical care. A Doula provides one-on-one care, up to date pregnancy and childbirth information, physical support and emotional support. A Doula seeks to understand and work with you on your own birthing needs, and will provide continuous and individual labour care.
Having a Doula at your birth is a personal choice. Benefits of a Doula include:- Continuity of care throughout pregnancy, labour and post birth
- Labour support at home and hospital
- Emotional and physical support
- Support for the whole family
- A Doula encourages self responsibility and self care
- As a Doula I encourage natural, informed, and empowered births
- Labour support at home and hospital
- I support you to consider what your own needs are around birth and that of your baby.
About Rachel
For many years I have supported individuals and couples through life transitions, including birth.
As an Anthropologist I have always been intensely interested in ‘community’. I have a long interest in family and cultural systems, community and personal beliefs, traditional roles and practices, and how these support individuals through important life stages, such as birth, childhood and relationships. Thirteen years ago I shifted my attention to women’s spirituality and birthing, focusing on traditional birth practices, and I worked with Aboriginal women in Queensland order to research and understand the practice of women’s business in their community
Rachel Vines Calmbirth CanberraIn 2001, after experiencing the birth of my own three children, born at home and hospital, I chose to train as a Doula, with a passion for holding the space for other couples in their pregnancy and birth journey. I have supported women since this time, and more recently realised how important it is to help to prepare couples as parents – as growing families and communities- a journey which starts before birth and continues well after.
I am now very pleased to be able share Calmbirth® Childbirth classes to growing families. This holistic birth education fully supports my own philosophy for pregnancy and birth. Importantly, the classes support parents to consciously grow into their role, and to make their own choices with confidence and with support.
Through the practice of Calmbirth®, and more recently through Breathwork, I feel that my journey has come full circle. Once again I find myself reflecting on the concept of community and on what this means in terms of creating, delivering and growing ‘life’.
My belief is that birth and rebirth is an important journey for all members of the community. It is the becoming of mothers, and becoming of fathers. It’s the moment of ‘I can’ and ‘I will’. It’s the first breath of one full life, whatever that path takes. It can be healing, it can be fearful or it can be with love. Birth is the emergence of the baby from the mother, the emergence of an individual (the soul), and the emergence of parents – of a growing community.
My wish is for the safe, nurturing and loving birth of all new life; as well as the birth and growth of safe, healthy and soulful individuals and communities.
