South Downs Doula
Birth & Postnatal Doula, KGHypnobirthing Instructor
Samantha, also known as The South Downs Doula, supports women and their families through pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period. She is trained in Biomechanics for Birth and KG Hypnobirthing, and uses her knowledge and skills in these key areas to help empower women through the birthing process.
Sam’s taster talks at Be:Poised Pilates in 2025 were the catalyst for this workshop. We noticed that so many of our attendees wanted to know more about birth biomechanics, and how they can feel empowered in their own birth experience. From this our Birth in Motion workshop was born.
Sam passionately believes that every woman deserves to be heard, held and lovingly supported through all aspects of becoming a mother.
