Meet Demelza
Having grown up in Launceston, I know the area very well. While I left the county to attend university and to travel, I was never away long. Launceston has always been very special to me and I have very fond memories of my childhood here. I feel fortunate to now be raising my children in this wonderful town and am grateful to be able to support parents-to-be as they approach the birth of their child/children.
I’m Demelza, mum of 2 very energetic children, former primary school teacher, certified hypnobirthing instructor and birth educator. Birth is a journey and no two births are ever the same. I am passionate about supporting pregnant women and their birth partners in their preparation for a positive and gentle birth experience however and wherever they choose to give birth.
Why is Birth Preparation so Important?
Knowledge is Power!
Nobody can promise you a pain-free labour. In fact, birth is so unpredictable that you might wonder why preparation beforehand is important at all. Nobody can guarantee you the perfect birth (what is that anyway?).
Your birth journey will be unique to you, and there will be some things you can’t control.
Focus on the things you can control.
- I will help you to trust your instincts and have confidence in your body’s ability to birth your baby by teaching you the science behind birth.
- By learning techniques to support you during labour, you are less likely to panic and more likely to surrender to the power within you.
- Bring your birth partner along to sessions – they can be a huge support to you during labour and birth so it’s important they understand their role. Read the story of William’s birth from birth partner, and dad, Elliot here.
- Let me help you to navigate the medical system so you can make informed decisions about your birth that are right for you and your baby.
