Established Birth and Postnatal Doula. 'Samsara's soul has always been called to Birthing. From first glorious moment of empowerment at the birth of her first son aged 24, she has been attending births , and has had wonderful birth doulas attending her own four births. Trained in Childbirth Education with Parent Centre Australia in 1988 and Intuitive Counselling with Scott Washington in 1994, she became very involved with the Australian grass roots home birthing movement.
Samsara has been teaching birth preparation classes and attending births for over 26 years. This rich wealth of experience now includes the joy of being present for the birth of her first grandson. This wealth of experience has led her to the understanding that honouring the mother and baby relationship is what is most needed to support healthy mothers and families. To facilitate this she created the Mumababy Sanctuary in Lewes, Sussex in 2013, a beautiful centre supporting women and their families with complementary therapies, drop in support and circles for pregnant and new Muma's, as well as a hub for local doulas.
