About...HONEY BIRTHS

Honey Births was born from a desire to champion positive and healthy birth experiences. To bare witness to the journey taken with the birth of a baby and the birth of a family is a profound & privileged experience.

Birth is a tribute to love and the beauty of life. The chaos of birth results in a potent and precious love. A love that we can support and rejoice in.

Your Doula, Roberta Stuart, is DONA trained. Working as a Doula in 2000-2002, then taking a pause to raise her own three children. In 2017, she updated her training and has been working privately and working with the South Community Birth Program.

Roberta supports the birthing mother to navigate her journey as captain of her ship. Midwives, Doctors, Nurses, Doula and the Partner are all support crew to this journey. The Doula’s role to is create a secure and calm environment and to give space for questions to be discussed and answered for the labouring mother and partner. Doula’s are not medical professionals, however they bring their experiences with birthing and their sensibility of birth as a natural state to be celebrated. Roberta is a committed advocate of birth choice and has attended home births, hospital births, Caesarean births, VBAC births.

Roberta believes in the strength and power of love and supports all the wonderous combinations of what we call family.
