She Births® Certified Educator for Newcastle

Nichola Kinnane head shots 2019

Nichola Kinnane

The birth of your baby is one of the first experiences you will have working together as a family, and the resources you draw on and how you negotiate and support each other can be an empowering and beautiful experience.

I am honoured to share the She Births® program which offers you all the tools that you will need to navigate your birth experience. The knowledge you gain at She Births® will empower you to negotiate internal and external challenges, and will enable you to connect and communicate effectively so that you can create a beautiful birth experience, no matter what unfolds.

Working as a doula I have seen how each couple’s journey is unique. I am constantly in awe of the strength women have when birthing their babies, and I am moved by the tenderness and love that comes from the partners and support team. Together we will demystify birth, explore the physiological process as well as the transformative process, and enable you to work with your body and your team you can have a positive and safe experience.

I moved from Sydney to the Mid North coast a few years ago with my family for a change of pace and have been enjoying working and building community in Newcastle. I now have a balance between Newcastle city/beach life and retreat/country life which is the best of both worlds and the kids can enjoy exploring nature and the benefits of being in the city. I love the beach, yoga and exploring new eateries now things have opened up post covid. I am passionate about serving women and providing education to those who would not be typically be able to access supports due to systemic disadvantage.

Qualifications:

  • Diploma of Counselling
  • Cert IV in Doula Support Services
  • Cert IV in Training & Assessing
  • Diploma of Health Science (Holistic Kinesiology)

Kind Words

I can’t recommend this course enough! We left feeling so much more prepared.

Nichola was a superb teacher. She really helped my partner understand how he could help

Brilliant course. We enrolled in the weekend birth course to prepare us for the birth of our second child. She Births® reframed the whole birth concept for me - it reframed “pain” in context of what my body would be doing which resonated with me. Together with practical techniques to use, I finished the course looking forward to my birth experience.
