‘Being a mum has made me so tired. And so happy’. Tina Fey.
​
Doula means ‘to serve woman’ and this is what Nurtured By Sarah is here to do, to provide you with the physical and emotional care needed after birth to heal, rest and become a confident and nourished mother & family to give your little one the best start to life. Motherhood is a process of becoming, transforming and responding, which develops over time and begins in pregnancy. The birth moment is one part of the transformation, but it continues in the fourth trimester (first 12 weeks) and beyond. I will help you create a nourishing environment for you and your family in the transition into your new life with your newborn baby.
Every family's needs are different therefore, I will spend time with you prior to your baby being born (if booking prior to birth) to listen and plan how I can best support you in your postpartum journey.
I have created a number of packages (adjusted to suit your individual needs) to provide in home support ranging from care in the first week after birth to 12 weeks postpartum & beyond - packages starting from $300.
I also offer one off support (minimum 2 hour booking) if you are just needing a few hours rest, accompanied support to an appointment or time to talk, debrief after birth and ask questions. Please get in touch with me to view packages and find out availability. Debit & credit card payments accepted, please inquire about payment plans.

Client Review
"Sarah was amazing! We had the pleasure of having Sarah as part of our support system postpartum. We felt so comfortable with Sarah's guidance and help! She was such a huge help when I was recovering from a c-section and less immobile. We'll be using Sarah's services for our future pregnancies/postpartum and look forward to working with her again" Skye.
