Certified Advanced Doula, Independent Childbirth Educator, Birthing From Within Mentor and Birth Story Healer – Pernille Powell
Having a baby can be such an amazing and empowering experience. It is an incredibly life changing event. It brings with it personal transformation, changes to your body, to relationships, and deeps shifts in attitudes. It can also bring all kinds of emotions to the surface – feelings of immense joy and excitement, but also confronting feelings of fear and worry about what lies ahead and your ability to face the challenges of birth and parenting.
In our culture today we have very little exposure to real birth stories, so we are often sent into the big unknown when we get pregnant. Having the support of a doula and having meaningful preparation with an educator not attached to any institutions can be very helpful and comforting at this time. We were never meant to do this on our own! Apart from this, having someone to talk to if you have had a difficult experience before can be immensely valuable to help you move forward and regain confidence before entering labour and birth again.
Pernille Powell runs childbirth preparation classes based on the philosophy of ‘Birthing From Within’, both as weekend workshops and privately in your own home. She offers Doula Service support through your pregnancy, labour/birth and early parenting and she also offers caring and nurturing Birth Story healing for women, who had difficult, disappointing or traumatic experiences.
Pernille Powell has 6 years of experience on the Sunshine Coast both in all the hospitals and at homebirths. She has also been running the popular BaBs pregnancy and parenting community support group for the last 5 years, and through her contacts with hundreds of birthing women has developed a unique understanding for the many issues of birth.
Her qualifications are: Certified Advanced Doula and Childbirth Educator, ‘Making Space’ a baby’s journey with Jenny Blyth, ‘Birthing From Within’ Mentor and Birth Story Medicine.
