As your baby grows, your belly becomes a quiet meeting place between you and the new life unfolding within.

During pregnancy, taking a few moments each day to place your hands on your belly can become a beautiful ritual of connection. A gentle pause in the day to breathe, soften, and acknowledge the extraordinary work your body is doing.

Simple, loving touch can go a long way.

You might begin by warming a little oil between your palms and slowly massaging your belly in soft, circular movements. Let your hands move intuitively over the sides of your belly, across the top of your uterus, down along the places that feel stretched or tender. There’s no perfect technique. The intention is simply to offer comfort and care to the body that is carrying your baby.

These small moments of self-massage can help ease tightness in the skin and abdominal muscles, encourage circulation, and support you in becoming more familiar with the shape and movements of your growing baby.

Many parents also find that babies begin to respond to this touch a gentle kick, a small shift, a quiet reminder that they are there with you.

Pregnancy is not only about preparing for birth.
It is also about slowly building the relationship between you and your baby.

Through breath.
Through presence.
Through the quiet language of touch.

Every women shows up at birth with their own unique story and set of challenges that they carry. Whilst I can’t guarantee an outcome I can most certainly deeply support her to lean into her experience. Here is a little window into this beautiful brave mamas story and her experience with me.

TESTIMONIAL 🤍

“I went into birth believing in the power of women’s bodies, baby’s wisdom and the importance of being empowered and supported. I was desperately wanting to have a physiological birth … and as I was birthing in a private hospital, I knew that having a doula would best position me to have the best chance of the birth I dreamed of.

I was scared of birthing in hospital, I was afraid of birthing in the hospital, that my choices and agency would be taken away and that interventions would happen that robbed me and my baby of an empowered birth. Sarah deeply listened to me, my hopes, my fears- and she came alongside me with gentleness, expertise, humour and tremendous kindness throughout my pregnancy.

My marriage ended in late pregnancy, and she stood with me in my determination that my birth wouldn’t be robbed by this blindside of grief. She helped prepare me, and my birth team so beautifully. When my birth unfolded- she was there holding the space. Sarah knew exactly when to step forward and be active in supporting me, and when to step back and hold the team/space. She’s supported my “girl power” team to support me, and she never faltered in reading the room, she was such a safe presence.

I felt so blessed – I felt like I had the “dream team” with Sarah heading up the orchestra of emotional safety in the birth room. She knew so many staff at the hospital I birthed at (Cabrini) and had a wonderful working relationship with my obstetrician Amanda Ward- this was so reassuring. They worked so well together, and I felt so beautifully supported.

Sarah artfully supported me through a long pushing phase, my baby was posterior, and so I needed him to be turned using the vaccuum but I felt so prepared and so supported and so trusting- this didn’t feel scary or overwhelming. I birthed without any medication and honestly I had the most beautiful experience- it was just amazing to feel the power of birth...

I got my dream: a beautiful, empowered birth. Even though I was without my husband who I had always imagined would be there- I felt anything but alone. I’m forever thankful that I chose Sarah to be my doula. Sarah is highly skilled, a beautiful person and has wonderful intuition. If you’re looking for support to go through birth feeling safe and supported- she’s your woman. Forever thankful for her giving me and my baby the best start to our life together.”

Long before birth became something that mostly happened in hospitals, women gathered around one another to welcome new life.

Across cultures and generations, there has almost always been a knowledgeable woman beside the birthing mother, whether a sister, aunt, neighbour, grandmother, or wise woman who had walked the path of birth before. Someone there to offer steady hands, reassurance, comfort, and presence.

This is the original spirit of doula work, as old as time.

The word doula itself comes from ancient Greek, meaning “a woman who serves.” Today, the term has come to describe a trained birth companion who offers non-medical support during pregnancy, labour, birth, and the postnatal period.

As doulas, we are not there to replace midwives or doctors, who care for the clinical safety of mother and baby. Instead, we offer emotional, physical, and informational support throughout the journey into parenthood.

This continuity of care can be profoundly grounding for families. Research has shown that when a doula is present, there are often many positive outcomes, including a lower likelihood of certain interventions, improved breastfeeding and bonding, and a reduced risk of postnatal depression.

For me, being a doula is about quietly restoring a circle of care that has existed for thousands of years. It is about standing beside a woman as she crosses one of the most powerful thresholds of her life, while offering calm, steady presence while her body and baby do the extraordinary work they already know how to do.

It's about protecting the sacred space around birth, so that each family can meet their baby feeling supported, respected, and deeply held.

In our culture we often spend so much time preparing for the birth itself. But the early months of parenthood deserve just as much care, thought, and tenderness.

As Multiple Birth Awareness week draws to a close, I invite you to sit quietly with a few gentle questions:

What support do I need to feel truly held during the early months of parenthood?

What needs might I need help meeting: physically, emotionally, practically?

What do I want those early days with my babies to feel like?

There are no perfect answers. Only the beginning of a conversation with yourself about the kind of care that will nourish you as you care for your little ones.

Parenthood was never meant to be walked alone. It is something that unfolds most beautifully in community with a diverse circle of partners, family, friends, doulas, lactation consultants, doctors, and the many quiet hands that help hold a growing family.

To all the families of twins, triplets, and multiples who have shared their stories this week, your strength, adaptability, and love are something truly special.

May you feel supported.
May you feel nourished.
May you feel held.

During Multiple Birth Awareness Week, I find myself reflecting on the extraordinary families who welcome two, three or sometimes more babies earthside at once.

It's deeply humbling to witness the early days of life with multiples: tiny beings learning the rhythms of the world and a mother learning to nourish them all with her body, whether that means breastfeeding, or simply rocking, soothing, bathing, cuddling, & being skin to skin.

Choosing to breastfeed or chestfeed multiples asks a great deal of you along the way. Your body is recovering from pregnancy and birth while learning to produce milk. Feeding patterns can feel constant in those early weeks, and finding a rhythm that works for everyone takes patience, experimentation, and a great deal of tenderness toward yourself. When the pieces begin to settle, there can be such a quiet magic in it. Babies nestled close, nourished together, your body responding in its own remarkable way to the needs of all.

What makes the greatest difference in your journey is support.

A postpartum doula can help you gently find your way, by guiding you to explore feeding positions that feel comfortable, protecting your rest where possible, supporting your partner, and helping you design a rhythm that is truly sustainable for your body and your family.

Nurturing new life happens in community and in shared wisdom. Whether breastfeeding or not, every woman deserves support to figure out what's the best way forward.

Bringing two or more babies into the world at once is something to deeply respect and celebrate. Families of multiples carry such strength & adaptability.

I just love this beautiful image by , shared via Australian Birth Stories. It captures the devotion of mothering multiples, and the profound capacity of the human body to nurture new life.

🍒 Multiples Birth Awareness Week

This week we honour the incredible journeys of families welcoming twins, triplets and higher-order multiples into the world.

Multiple pregnancies carry their own unique rhythms often filled with excitement, complexity, extra monitoring, and many decisions along the way. For many parents it can also bring a mix of joy, vulnerability, and the need for strong support around them.

Behind every multiples birth is a mother navigating an extraordinary physical and emotional experience, and babies arriving into a family that will quickly learn the art of caring for more than one tiny human at once.

This week is a moment to recognise the strength of these families, the importance of informed care, and the village that surrounds them partners, practitioners, doulas, midwives, and community.

To the mothers growing two or more babies, the parents learning the rhythm of feeding, settling and loving more than one at a time... we see you.

Your journey is remarkable.

With care and admiration 💕

Didn’t have a birth doula? You can still receive postnatal support.

Many families assume that if they didn’t have a doula at the birth, they’ve somehow missed the window for support.

But postnatal care stands on its own.

Some parents plan support during pregnancy, while others reach out weeks, sometimes months after their baby arrives, when the reality of sleepless nights, feeding challenges, recovery and the emotional transition into parenthood begins to settle in.

Postnatal support can look many different ways. Sometimes it’s practical help. Sometimes it’s guidance with feeding or settling. Sometimes it’s simply having an experienced, calm presence in the room who understands this season of life.

You don’t have to have had a birth doula to receive that kind of care. Support in the early months of parenting is never too late. Link in bio for more information regarding postnatal support.

Today is International Women's Day!
What does IWD mean to you?

"There is nothing quite like the sisterhood, love and connection that can be fostered amongst woman. We have so much capacity to nurture, lift up and support one another when needed. I want to celebrate all the woman around the world that deeply inspire me to do and be better. I also want to celebrate the great achievements of woman in our past and present that have tirelessly fought for more equality and humanity, highlighting disparities and improving pathways for all women young and old."

Deciding on whether you want a doula present at your birth is a profound and deeply personal decision, on top of a mountain of overwhelming decisions leading up to your birth.

Maybe you're sensing you’d benefit from extra support. Maybe you’re hoping for more calm, more readiness, more confidence.

Sarah works collaboratively with doctors, midwives and other maternity care providers, creating a harmonious and cohesive support network around you. Sarah wants to ensure you are heard, and your wishes are respected. She will remind you of your goals in order to help you achieve the birth experience you have envisioned for yourself and navigate the unexpected if it arises.

Sarah will make every effort to ensure you welcome your baby into a peaceful environment. She will stay with you until after your baby is born, maintaining a safe and undisturbed space for you to bond, supporting you through the first breastfeed, helping you with physical comfort measures and ensuring you are settled and comfortable before she leaves.

If you’re wondering whether a doula could be right for you, the best way to know is to talk about it!

Sarah offers a complimentary discovery call so you can share your concerns, ask questions, and get a feel for what support would look like. No pressure. No judgement. Just space to explore.

If you long for someone to walk with you, beside you, during pregnancy and birth, you might have just found your person. Reach out when you’re ready: 0401-083-773

Birth Debriefing — Why it matters

Birth—whether smooth or complicated—can leave us with stories that linger in our hearts and minds. Sometimes we hold questions. Sometimes memories don’t match our expectations. Sometimes relief and confusion mingle.

That’s why birth debriefing matters. It offers a safe, compassionate space to reflect on your birth, to honour what you experienced, to gently process emotions and begin healing.

At Nurtured Birth, we believe every parent deserves to have their birth story acknowledged with tenderness and care. With Sarah Goldberg, birth debriefing is at your pace.

Because reflection helps you reclaim meaning. Understanding helps you reclaim peace.

22/02/2026

There’s no perfect week to start childbirth education — only the week that feels right for you. For many parents, the window between 27–34 weeks offers a good balance of readiness and time. But whether you’re early or late, first baby or fourth, the door is open.

Sarah offers both private and small-group classes throughout the year so you can learn at your own pace. Whenever you begin, what you receive is the gift of preparation, presence and possibility.
