😍 My heart is so happy!

Back at Genesis for the most gorgeous birth today🤍

This first time mama arrived fully dilated, trusted her body completely, and birthed her miracle exactly as she was meant to ✨

Surrounded by the love and support of her husband, their beautiful blessing arrived earthside so peacefully, making this doula heart so incredibly full 🥹

What an amazing Father’s Day gift for a brand new dad 🩵

Then, just 5 minutes after getting home, I looked out the window and noticed one of my mama sheep was in labour 😂🐑

A few moments later, she welcomed a gigantic lamb into the world!

Babies everywhere today 😍

It truly was a beautiful day for birth, both human and sheep 🤍✨😂😂🩷 farmer Meek’s in the house !



Congratulations to this incredible family. Happy fourth trimester 🥰

My heart is heavy 🤍

Today I learnt of the passing of one of the most incredible midwives, a woman who helped shape midwifery in our country and touched the lives of countless families.

I had the privilege of supporting births alongside Sister Marilyn and Sister Veronica, and over the years I was also fortunate enough to play a small role in helping with their social media presence.

To Sister Veronica, my fellow doula Elizabeth, Sister Marilyn’s family, friends, colleagues, and every mother whose life was touched by her remarkable light, I am holding you all in my heart during this difficult time.

Sister Marilyn’s legacy will live on through the generations of mothers, babies, midwives, and birth workers she inspired.

Rest easy, Sister Marilyn 🤍

You will always be a legend in the maternity world.

There are no words that truly capture the sadness of saying goodbye to someone who meant so much.

My heart is heavy as I reflect on the loss of Marilyn Sher, the “M” in M&V Midwives. For so many years she was not only my colleague, mentor, and friend, but someone I admired deeply and learned so much from.

Mother, Grandmother, Midwife, Mentor, Friend.

Marilyn was a remarkable woman whose kindness, strength, wisdom, and passion for midwifery touched countless lives. She dedicated more than 50 years to caring for women and babies, walking alongside families during some of the most important moments of their lives.

She believed deeply that women deserved to birth with dignity, respect, and choice. She championed independent midwifery, shared her knowledge generously, and inspired generations of midwives fortunate enough to learn from her.

What I admired most was her passion. Even after decades in midwifery, her love for birth never faded. Midwifery was never simply a profession to Marilyn, it was her calling.

Her gentle wisdom, calm presence, and unwavering faith touched more lives than she will ever know. The families she cared for, the babies she welcomed, and the midwives she mentored will continue to carry her legacy forward.

Thank you, Marilyn, for everything you gave to this profession, to the families you served, and to those of us privileged enough to call you our friend.

You will be deeply missed, forever remembered, and always loved.

With love, gratitude, and a broken heart,

Veronica 🤍

I’m home. 🥹❤️ finally back at Genesis 🥰

Back in my happy place at Genesis, supporting another beautiful family as they welcomed their precious baby into the world.

After some time away, walking back through those doors felt so special. There is nothing quite like witnessing the strength of a mother, hearing that first cry, and watching a family meet their baby for the very first time.

My heart is full and it feels so good to be back doing what I love.

Doula Kat ❤️

Today I got to watch my doula bestie absolutely smash Comrades 🏃‍♀️✨

Tamryn Schmahl from Shakti Births | Doula , there are no words for how proud I am of you 🤍

Months of training, determination, and grit, and today you completed the Ultimate Human Race. What an incredible achievement.

And because life as a doula is never predictable, one of your clients decided that today was also the perfect day to meet her baby 🥹

So while you were out there conquering Comrades, I had the privilege of supporting a beautiful family on your behalf as their little one made their way earthside 🤍

My girl, I am so proud of you, and I will always have your back.

Congratulations on an incredible achievement. Now go put your feet up 😂❤️

Love your lazy non runner back up Doula 🙈



( no time for pictures so thank you Google )

I got to visit little Bean this week and had the privilege of guiding Jess and Rudi through that very first bath 🩵

Well… Bean loved it so much that he eventually drifted off for a little snooze while mom and dad gently poured water over him 🥹

Mom and dad were relaxed.
Baby was relaxed.
I think we have a little water baby on our hands 🩵🥹

These are the moments I love most. Not just the birth, but watching families grow in confidence and settle into parenthood.

And let’s be honest, it is not often that I get photos of myself in my happy place, so I am beyond grateful for Jess and her camera skills 📸🤍

I adore this family so, so much and I cannot wait to watch them thrive in this next chapter.

What a privilege it is to do this work 🤍

Congratulations on your beautiful family and this exciting new chapter ahead

So much love and praise from this very proud Doula Kat 🤍

First time mama 🤍

I was backup for my Tam , who is absolutely going to smash her marathons this year ✨ So proud of you my friend 🩵

And because she trusted me with her clients, I got to meet and support this incredible family 🥰

Mama arrived at 6cm and just a few short hours later she met her darling little baby

One tiny human upgraded everyone’s titles for the very first time, mom, dad, granny, granddad, uncles and aunties 🤍

But of course, I was the proudest aunty Kat ever ✨

This incredible fifth time mama birthed like the absolute goddess she is ✨

So much strength, trust, and power all wrapped into one beautiful birth 🤍

I am so proud, as always

Congratulations to this beautiful family on their newest little love 🥰
