mamashanti

mamashanti's birth support (also known as doula) is a unique service that has grown out of Nina's work in teaching prenatal yoga. Nina can provide you with essential emotional and physical support through out the duration of your labour. A birth attendant compliments your birthing team by offering continuity of support to you wherever you choose to birth, be it in your home, maternity hospital or birthing centre.

There can be no greater honour than to be in the presence of a birthing woman. To be a trusted member of a woman's inner circle of loving support is one of my life's greatest blessings. From the birth of my niece ten years ago to the birth of my sweet son and every birth I have assisted, it has been clear to me that it is at this time the entire Universe turns it's attention to the glorious moment of bringing new life in to the world.

Blessings for your journey and for the safe arrival of each child who bravely steps forward to enter our world.
