Hello, my name is Toni Medcalf from Dandelion Doula.
I am a qualified doula who has trained with the Doula Training Academy, and I live in Sydney Northern Beaches and service this area and Sydney’s North Shore.
I am mum to a blended family of 4 girls ranging from 14 to 23. It has definitely been an emotional rollercoaster, but I have loved every minute with them. They have kept me on my toes and challenged me in every way possible. I feel they have shaped me into the caring, patient, calm and supportive person I am today, and I couldn’t be prouder of my girls and who they have become.
Both my births were not ideal in that I was very unsupported, uneducated and uninformed of my choices. While I did childbirth classes I still felt I just had to go with what was told to me at the hospital at the time as “they were the professionals”. Both births were quite traumatic, and I was very scared and felt a bit like I was just in a rushed production line of women giving birth and not knowing what would happen next.
I don’t want other women to experience their pregnancy and birthing the way I did, which is why I am embarking on this path to be a Doula. I will help educate and support you and your partner on this crazy yet exciting journey during pregnancy and beyond, in a non-judgmental way so you can make informed choices, regain control over your birth and know what is available to you to be able to bring your baby into the world the way you want at your own pace and feel safe and supported.
Please feel free to reach out if you would like to chat further and see if we connect for your pregnancy and birth Journey or to find out about my services offered.
