Cheryl is one of those amazing people who is living and breathing her passion. 7 years ago I had never heard of a doula. I wanted an intervention and drug free natural birth within a hospital setting, an idea which I was soon to discover was almost laughable.
I first heard about doulas in a pregnancy yoga class. At the time there did not seem to be many doulas in Brisbane but I was fortunate to find Cheryl. I immediately clicked with Cheryl and I knew she would be my advocate and help navigate us through the maze of hospital and doctor policy. Cheryl was an integral part of all my labours and births.
For my third birth I really leaned on her for emotional support when my pregnancy was about to enter the 42 week mark and I was being put under enormous pressure from my care providers, hospital and to a lesser extent even family and friends. Thankfully I did go into labour without being induced but it was very stressful.
If you live in Brisbane and you are serious about achieving an intervention and drug free birth then contact Cheryl – you will be glad you did!
