About Me

I’m Petra, a pregnancy and birth doula living in Auckland with my partner and son. My interests include all things to do with pregnancy and birth, respectful parenting and healthy vegan living. I am an outdoor enthusiast and keen tramper. Taking care of our planet, singing, yoga and meditation are also a big part of my life.

I am passionate about a woman’s right to an empowered birth - the right to give birth where and how she chooses and to receive respectful care no matter her choices. This includes being fully informed of all available options throughout pregnancy and birth and full consent being obtained for any procedure or intervention. I believe that a woman who labours where she feels most safe will have an easier and more satisfying birth experience. Moreover, I recognise the importance of a positive birth experience in the shaping of parents’ confidence and trust as they begin their journey with a new baby.

I am really excited to be working in a field I feel so passionate about.
