Wildtender Birth Birth Attendant & Postpartum Doula on the Gold Coast, AU. It is my honour to serve families on their Hello and Welcome! I am so glad you’re here.

My name is Hannah, and I’m a Birth Attendant & Postpartum Doula on the Gold Coast, Australia. As I continue to grow and expand my offerings locally, I’m pleased to share that my website will be live soon with full details on packages accordingly. As a Postpartum Doula, I exist to support and deeply nurture women during what is undoubtedly a sacred, significant transition into postpartum and mother

ing life. I believe that by empowering mothers, we empower families; and I work to incorporate the latest in evidence-based information alongside time-tested, cross cultural practices. As a Birthkeeper, I’m passionate about facilitating positive birth education and supporting a birth plan that keeps your family at the centre. Whether that means private childbirth education classes and being on call for your family during the birth, or my physical presence on the day, I wholeheartedly believe that a positive and empowered birth can have a profound impact on the postpartum period & your journey into parenthood. I’ve proudly studied Birth Mentoring and Doula Training through Birthing From Within, an organisation I choose to align with based on their holistic philosophy around childbirth education & support for the birthing woman that is not attached to any specific outcome. The Birthing from Within philosophy encourages pregnant women to integrate and connect with the ancient, ‘inner knowing’, as well as the evidence-based, ‘modern knowing’ we are much more accustomed to learning about in conventional antenatal classes. I am here to help you create a mindset for birth and parenthood that is empowering, holistic and balanced. If you’re pregnant or looking for support in your childbearing year, I’d love to see how I might be able to assist.

I will be spending the next few weeks offline. If you have any questions, wanna chat or would like more information on my packages & availability, please email or call me at [email protected] - I’ll be back online early December!

I want to keep my eyes on what’s most important, I want to practice what I preach to the mamas I work with, to choose life even when it’s hard or scary as a business owner!

I’ll be back more focused, more grounded and more ready to reengage, but for now, I’m heeding the call.

May we be kind, focus on the beauty, magic & wonder still so completely covering this world, and bring it into being with our actions.

Prayers up! Hannah

No matter where you stand, my heart hurts for Queenslanders today. I’m so sorry to my unvaccinated friends, it is so wrong what is happening.

In moments of deep sorrow, I am always brought back to this one. I hope it moves you today.

On the fence about hiring a doula? There are so many reasons why investing in labour support can completely transform your experience of pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

Many well-documented studies support the benefits of having continuous support from a doula during childbirth. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists stated that, “one of the most effective tools to improve labor & delivery outcomes is the continuous presence of support personnel, such as a doula… continuous one-on-one support during labor & delivery was associated with improved patient satisfaction & a statistically significant reduction in the rate of cesarean delivery”.

It’s not only about birth outcomes though. Other benefits include:

-Doulas know their way around the hospital. A doula will be familiar with the policies & resources available at local hospitals. We can inform the couple about tools they can request that can be helpful in labor, such as hot and cold packs, yoga balls, extra pillows, etc. that the parents may not otherwise know they have access to.
-Doulas speak the language of labor. Oftentimes doctors & nurses answer questions or explain what’s going on in medical terminology. A doula makes sure both the partner and birthing person understand what’s happening and what their options are, which can decrease anxiety and make for a more positive experience.
-Doulas can give partners a break. A doula’s presence allows partners to get bite to eat, a breath of fresh air, or a nap – without feeling guilty for leaving the birthing person’s side. These breaks give the partner a chance to recharge, while ensuring that the birthing person feels supported and cared for through the entire experience.
-Doulas keep partners calm so they can experience childbirth to its fullest. Childbirth can be an overwhelming experience for both the person giving birth and for partners. A doula not only provides emotional support to the person giving birth, but also a critical source of reassurance for partners, allowing them to have the best possible experience of the arrival of the baby as well.

Anyone who has read knows THAT recipe, a traditional Chinese postpartum stew made with black vinegar and pork trotters. After postpartum clinic this morning, we tried our own variation of this in a pressure cooker, using organic pigs trotters, ginger, wood ear mushrooms, purple mountain yams, potatoes and watercress. Topped with sauerkraut and toasted black sesame seeds, this was really really delicious, and also incredibly warming and tonifying for the kidneys.

The ingredients used in pork trotter stew are very nutritious, specifically chosen to help the new mother to recover. Calcium in the bones of the pork knuckles are dissolved during the cooking process – a major nutritional value of the dish is to replenish the loss of calcium in pregnancy. Moreover, not only is ginger rich in Vitamin C helping to strengthen the mother’s immune system, it also has the function of removing the ‘wind’ known as ‘fong’ in Cantonese generated during childbirth and when the body is at its weakest. Ginger also helps with lactation 🙌🏼

I don’t always get the chance to cook like this - food is only one part of providing deep support and care for new mamas in our culture - so it was a lovely way to lean into the rich cultural practices of , the traditional Cantonese practice of postpartum confinement ✨
