Siobhan's Story
Siobhan is a Birthworker, Homebirth Doula and Ayurvedic Postpartum Doula, providing maternal care through traditional Ayurvedic practise. Additionally, she practises as a 550hr Registered Yoga Teacher, and Vedic Meditation Teacher.
With warmth and nurturance, Siobhan offers support to mothers from pregnancy through to postpartum, servicing the Adelaide Hills and surrounds.
A lifelong love for birth and motherhood guided Siobhan to this work of being in service to mothers.
When beginning her work as a doula, she chose to call her business Matru Prema, a Sanskrit term meaning 'a mother's love'. A mother's love is precious to witness when tending to mothers, and is what Siobhan hopes to offer to all mothers, babies, and families who come into her care.
Siobhan provides a space of gentleness, nurture, and care, allowing the mother to savour the sweetness of the fleeting, ever-changing, yet deeply beautiful moments that the journey of motherhood brings.
