A BIT ABOUT ME
Hello, my name is Rose. Mother to 2 wild boys, wife, artistic & creative being, certified Birth Doula, Pregnancy Massage therapist, Placenta encapsulation specialist, photographer and Hypnobirthing Australia practitioner.
No surprise, I love all things pregnancy and birth but I also enjoy cooking, camping, music, a good fire, drawing & painting, woodworking and family adventures.
I have always had a keen interest in pregnancy and the extraordinary birthing process. Since having my own birthing experiences, the calling grew louder and I knew I had to follow my passion to educate, empower, nurture and support other parents through their own pregnancy and birthing journeys.
As your pregnancy and birth guide, my goal is to provide you and your partner with the knowledge and tools you need to enter your labour and birth with positivity and confidence. I strongly believe that every woman deserves a respectful, enjoyable and empowering birth and I am here to help you achieve that!
Testimonials
Sarah & Daniel
What an experience and what an amazing person Rose was to be there to support me and my partner through it all. The birth of our first baby was something that nothing could prepare you for. We read all the books, attended hypno birthing classes but nothing really prepares you for what you are about to experience.
When I first found out I was pregnant, I knew after listening to many birth podcasts that I wanted a doula to be present at my birth. I had so much anxiety around the unknown of birth, but the very moment I met Rose she was knowledgeable, confident and kind, and I knew I wanted her at my birth.
She supported me through every aspect of my pregnancy and birth. She provided me with education, additional resources and round the clock support. Not to mention she is an amazing pregnancy massage therapist, and her beautiful massage skills come in handy in the early stages of labour.
When birthing time came, she eased my fears with her presence. She was my cheerleader and my advocate. She supported me and my partner through the 22 hour labour and was there holding my hand while I pushed our little boy into the world.
Me and my partner were so grateful that she was there to support us both, and would have Rose at any future births.
Thanks Rose we couldn’t have bought our little boy into the world without you xx

When I first found out I was pregnant I was immediately nervous to go through the public system as a first time parent, I was considered low risk and felt so lost with the lack of support I was getting, that’s when I was recommended to look into a doula. Admittedly, my thoughts surrounding doulas was the stereotypical alternative medicine ‘hippie’ which I wasn’t too sure would suit me, then I met Rose. As soon as we met I felt an instant click and knew she would take the time to get to know what my partner and I wanted as well as provide so much advice around the birth experience without pushing me to make choices I didn’t want to. Before pregnancy I was all for the epidural and wanted birth to be over and done with quickly because I had no pain tolerance whatsoever and didn’t believe I could birth without it. After my visits with Rose my attitude changed and she empowered me to believe I can achieve anything. She was there for my entire 24 hour labour and 2.5 hours of pushing supporting my partner and I the entire time. I felt so calm with Rose by our side and could not imagine birthing without her support. When curveballs were thrown and I couldn’t decide myself she helped break down the information to understand it easily and I felt completely advocated for.
If anybody is undecided on whether it is worth getting a doula or tossing up to engage Rose for birth support I could not recommended her more, I honestly don’t think I could have delivered little Leo with 0 pain medication on the theatre table without the support and guidance from her. You definitely will not regret it. ❤️❤️

Rose was simply amazing. When she walked through the door I felt the heavy weight of transitioning to 3 kids lift from my shoulders. I have a FIFO partner and didn’t know what to expect from a Doula - but I am so glad Rose was there to support me (I had Rose for postpartum Doula care - however I would recommend Rose for pre, during and post since using her)
Rose was calm , understanding , and helped beyond my expectations. She allowed me to enjoy precious moments with my newborn. I went for long hot showers , went for walks (some me time) , and most importantly- slept. Things I went without during my other fourth trimesters. Rose went above and beyond with my house hold chores, helped so much with my other two young children , did our weekly groceries , ran my baby and I a bath, wrapped all the Christmas presents , and the list truly goes on and on. She listened to me when I needed adult conversation , she comforted my baby when I needed a break , and she supported me more than I could of envisioned.
Rose allowed me to really slow down and soak up my last baby in those first weeks at home -
I will always remember this time so fondly because of her.
