Doula Support

“I just wanted to give you a thank you for everything you did. You listen to you supported. You consoled a sweaty, exhausted hormonal mess.

You took amazing photos that I will cherish forever. You champion you came to the hospital at 4 am. You answered all daughters questions you helped carry my partner– you get it – your a legend you’re a gem. You’re a wise woman. Thank you.

Thanks for your presence for your guidance, your encouragement thank you for empowering women. Thank you for honouring my decisions. Thank you for supporting and understanding freebirth. This is so important. Thank you for a friendship for being such an integral part of my birth in experience.”

My name is Sheridan and I‘m a Birth doula and Birth/Post Partum Documentary Photographer.

I support women and their sovereign right to birth on their terms so they reclaim their autonomy, trust in their body’s wisdom. I attend freebirth, home birth, hospital birth and cesarean births. I have held space and witnessed over 40 women become mothers

I’m a healthcare worker in Tasmania, I have an in depth understanding of the healthcare system and I can educate, support and empower you in navigating the hospital system so you get a positive birth experience.I have worked with people as they take their first breath in this world through to the day they take their last and leave this earth.I am familiar with loss in the birth space , I’m in my sixth year as a Heartfelt photographer working with families who have experienced stillbirth or have children with serious or life threatening illness providing families with photographic memories of their beautiful children

As a birth keeper, I believe that birth is a natural, physiological process I walk beside women and I’m here to hold space for you while you harness your own intrinsic wisdom to birth your baby, your way, creating a birthing space where intuition reigns For me being a birth keeper means that I hold space, I do not direct your birth nor insert myself into your experience…I’ll be there when you walk through the fire, knowing that you don’t need to be saved, I’ll remind you of this when you forget it or loose believe in yourself.

I believe in choosing the people in your birth space carefully with a support team that knows that they are not necessary and they don’t bring fear to your sacred birth space. Choose a doula that isn’t going to centre themselves in your experience. Choose a birth team that trusts you unequivocally, so that when you have that crisis of confidence… when you have those moments of doubt, they can point you back to yourself without sabotaging your experience or detracting from your autonomy.

I want your birth to be centred around you and I will tailor my service to your unique needs.

I’m about you getting the birth you want, the experience you want.

I’m about you feeling safe, heard and supported.

Are you looking to make your birth one of the most transformative, incredible and memorable experiences of your life?

Are you looking for someone who believes in women and their ability to birth?

Are you wanting to feel educated, empowered, and to know what your rights are, whether birthing at home or in a hospital?

Do you feel you want the extra support for you and your partner.

Are you wanting to make your current birth journey different from your other births?

Do you want to be that woman that takes control of the birth narrative and make this passage into motherhood your own?

Do you want to face the depth of this transition, embrace the intensity of birth, and walk into motherhood empowered?
