Thank you for your interest in having me, Mama Nova as your LayMidwife/Doula. It is my passion to work with families and be a support and resource for you. I have been a doula for 9 years and I have supported approximately 12 births co-delivering 2 babies working as a Lay Midwife apprentice and caught 2 babies working in my official role as a Traditional Lay Midwife. I am also an online Doula instructor with Ubuntu Wellness Academy.
Starlilly Birthing upholds the Midwives Model of CareĀ©, which is a fundamentally different approach to pregnancy and childbirth compared to contemporary obstetrics. This care is uniquely nurturing, and hands-on care before, during, and after birth. Midwives are healthcare professionals specializing in pregnancy and childbirth who develop a trusting relationship with their clients, which results in confident, supported labor and birth.
Should you so desire to book Starlilly as your Lay Midwife we may discuss the factors involved, i.e, pregnancy term, present health, risks, conditions, birthing plan, etc. At which time Starlilly exercises the right to refuse service if pregnancy deems to require hospital health care professionals. *Consultation fee is non-refundable.
