Women have held space for other women during labour and birth since the beginning of time, way before the medicalised system created a conveyer belt for birth, where women are all too often treated like machinery.
We haven't forgotten how to birth our babies - we have been forced into disconnecting from the power it holds.
 
Wildflower Birth Doulas are supporting women to reconnect and feel empowered during this incredible rite of passage. How we feel during birth has a direct impact on our lives forever more. Far too often women are left feeling powerless, unheard and vulnerable - it's time to challenge this.
 
Our Doulas are guiding women gently during this journey, reminding them of the wisdom that their body holds and using practical, evidence based information to support genuinely informed decision making without judgment.
