Free Doula Service on the Sunshine Coast, QLD

Hello, My name is Belinda and I'm a Childbirth International trained Doula working towards certification :)

Congratulations on your birth journey!

Of course, I'm not just talking about the upcoming birth of your baby! Along with the addition of a precious little one into your family, you are also embarking on a new life path, and "birthing" a new sense of identity. I celebrate this rite of passage and I strive to help mothers tap into their treasure of inner strength and courage during these defining moments.

I believe that every woman is entitled to give birth in the way that is most fulfilling for her and in accordance with her individual beliefs on birth. I respect the uniqueness of every birth and do not subscribe to the thought that birth should be 'normalized' to fit some standard. I would be honoured to act as your labour assistant whether you chose to birth at home, in a hospital, or in a birthing centre.

I will not be charging for my services during 2010, and will be offering discounted rates to mums who are due in the first half of 2011.

If you'd like to discuss how I can support you and your family though the journey of welcoming a new baby, you can contact me on 0415 131 682 or email kellymandalis@bigpond.com

Best Wishes

Belinda :)
