I\I

Hi, I'm Sari Szasz. birth + postpartum DOULA, HERBALIST, NURTURED NEUROSCIENCE parenting + infant sleep practitioner (in training), CBE
& MOTHER

I recognize that heart-centered + evidence-informed support for women, birthing folks and families is foundational to a regenerative and love orientated world.  The intersections of health, reproductive and ecological justice motivate me in this work, whilst creativity, science and ritual infuse my path + services with soul & integrity.

Guided by heart-centred care, contemporary science and on-going trainings, I integrate perinatal + postpartum education, birth + postpartum doula services and western herbal medicine to support and nourish your reproductive journey for whole family wellbeing, conception + beyond. I am also currently training to be a Nurtured Neuroscience Practitioner to support connected parenting and Integrative Infant Sleep.

 

My wish is that all babies and parents experience exceptional care and support through this significant time and that carers are empowered to make informed, aligned and instinctual decisions every step of the way. Too many women and birthing people experience mental health and other challenges during this crucial time, my care and skillset aspires to help remedy this sociocultural issue and support babies and parents to thrive together.

 

I am motivated by research elucidating that the first 1000 days (and prenatally) of a person's development and care has a significant impact on their long-term health and wellbeing, and the evidence that supports continuity of care improving outcomes for mothers and parents. 

 

What is a doula? A doula provides non-medical, physical, emotional and spiritual support, unbiased information + education, along with mind/body resilience building strategies to prospective parents during conception, pregnancy, childbirth and the post-natal period. As a full-spectrum doula I provide care for people through abortion, loss and family structures of all kinds. I support clients to make empowered choices, guide them with personal preparation and provide education to build agency and autonomy, alongside presence during labor and postpartum.

 

I am training within a Birthing From Within framework as a childbirth mentor which focuses on both the internal and external preparation of matrescence, birth and parenting. I am passionate about building community for expectant parents and honoring this transformation with art and ritual. My approach is rooted in the most current research on birth physiology, attachment and matrescence.

 

I offer in person services in Bellingen, Coffs Habour and surrounds + Online Services around the world, and work in a trauma-informed, inclusive and culturally humble way.
