Offerings
We work as a team. This creates a high level of support for mothers and families, and for us as birth keepers, creating a circle of holding, which we feel is essential for this rite of passage. We are part of a movement co-creating a paradigm shift around birth, striving towards building true nourishment for all involved in birth.

What Clients are saying about working with Samara
“Samara supported us through every stage of our birthing journey, from negotiating our birth plan with the midwives right through to delivery our baby boy on the bathroom floor! She has been a vital voice and presence, guiding and empowering us at every stage”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Samara seems to have endless wisdom and an incredibly grounding energy which leaves you feeling nourished every time you see her. To have these qualities at the birth, in our doula, was a blessing”
“Samara allowed me, as the birthing partner, to be fully present with my wife during the birth by facilitating all other needs seamlessly. She guided me through the journey and advised me how to best support my wife as she brought our child into this world. I had complete faith in her judgement and her presence in the house was gentle, warm and dependable.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
‘Samara empowered me to have confidence in the natural birth process, confidence in my instincts and most importantly, confidence and belief in my body and my baby”
“Samara’s knowledge of herbs and natural remedies, along with her Shiatsu practice have supported me continually during the healing process and the 4th trimester”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Samara has an ability to instinctively recognise your needs, even before you’ve realised them yourself. She gently and intuitively supports in whatever way is needed from moment to moment, sometimes melting into the background and allowing you and your birth partner to be alone and at other moments appearing beside you and holding you, just at the moment you most need it“
