Home to Australia's leading labour TENS
Prepare for your birth and postpartum
What Is The Birth Sweet?
What started as a drive to support women of Perth as a doula has morphed and changed into being able to support women all over Australia in many ways!
TENS Hire
The must have item for your "go-bag"! A TENS machine offers drug-free pain relief for women in labour.
Although there are many types of TENS, the maternity range have a BOOST button for extra support through each contraction/ surge/ wave
Hire Labour Tools
As well as the TENS machine, I also have birth pools and birth slings available to loan women in Perth. Brands include Birth Pool in a Box and the White Earthy Birth Pool.
These were, personally, my essential labour tools (along with the TENS machine!)
Reflexology
Reflexology is a therapy based on the theory that different areas on the feet correspond with areas of the body.
It is believed that working these points or areas aids relaxation and helps improve well-being by restoring balance to the body.
Physiotherapy
Technically not a service provided by Birth Sweet, but I am a physiotherapist with a special interest in Women's Health.
I currently work at Mint Wellbeing in North Fremantle, supporting women (and their pelvic floor!) through pregnancy and postpartum
Online Store
A one-stop shop for labour and birth supplies!
Along with the hire items, you can find tools to support breastfeeding, postpartum recovery and even a gift or two! From brands like Zen Mumma, Made to Milk, Qiara and my own Birth Sweet goodies!
Birth Coaching
If you're thinking a whole doula package just isn't for you...
One on one sessions online or in-person. These sessions are tailored completely to your needs and where you are at. Book a one-off or have recurring appointments right up until you birth!
Hi, I'm Sam!
I want you to have a positive pregnancy, birth & postpartum experience
As a doula and a physio, I want to support you through your pregnancy and birth to feel supported and encouraged to feel confident in your choices and ready to face the journey into motherhood (whether that's for the first or the fifth time!)
You can rest easy knowing I've been there before. There is more than one way to birth and I know you are the best person to make the decision on how, you might just need a birth coach turn cheerleader to be there along the way. My physio skill and logical brain makes me approach things with a factual, evidence-based approach. I don't do fluff or crystals, it is solid support and practical tools you can use for labour. Oh! And my time in hospitals means I speak doctor too!
