Why do you need a doula in Singapore?

  • You find the medical system very confusing to navigate, and it’s so difficult to find the information you are looking for.

  • You feel alone and judged about the way you want to birth or the way you want to parent. You want someone to advocate for what feels right.

  • You just know there is more to the birth and/or baby experience than what everyone is telling you, but you’re unsure of how to reach it.

I was raised on the shoulders of mothers. Now I empower people to become the shoulders their new families will stand on.

My Services

Your birth, your baby, your way. Let’s talk about what that looks like for you and how to make it happen.

  • Write and Own Your Birth Plan

    You may not know how to write a birth plan. Or maybe you have attended childbirth classes and have written one, but you’re not quite sure how to actually implement it. I will work with you and your partner (if partnered) to make sure you know what options are available to you and that your values for your birth are aligned with the choices you make. We’ll be a great team by the time you go into labor!

    Create Your Pregnancy Routine

    Everyone wants a smooth birth, but not all know how to walk that talk. Preparation for the birth you want starts in pregnancy! Labor is as much a mental game as it is a physical one. In our prenatals, we will cover practices to prepare your mind and body, including Optimal Maternal Positioning techniques, that you can continue all the way into labor.

  • Comfortable & Confident Birth

    I will help you put what we discussed during our prenatal consultations to action, transforming your place of birth into one of warmth and safety. Using my knowledge and experience, I can offer position changes, exercises and encouragement to facilitate your birth’s physiological progress. I support wherever you choose to labor and birth, whether it’s in the hospital or your own home, on land or in the water. As your doula, I work only for you and your partner, and strive to collaborate with the rest of your birth team to make sure you stay informed and that your voice is heard. I am always in your corner.

    Comfortable & Confident Birth Partner

    It’s a common myth that doulas replace birth partners. If you are partnered, my role is to support your birth partner as well, in whatever role they want to play at birth. In my experience, many birth partners want to help but they don’t know how because it’s their first time. Partners I’ve supported are often relieved as I give reassurance and suggestions for what they can do to help laboring parents. I take a lot of pride in ensuring the labor and birth experience is empowering for both of you.

  • Ease into Your New Life

    Your baby is here! Everything has changed, and I’m here to support your new family for the start of this immense yet heartwarming journey. I can debrief your birth with you, talk through emotional and physical recovery, share soothing techniques and answer your questions on baby care.

    Embrace Your Feeding Journey

    However you choose to feed your baby (breast / chest / bottle / formula), I will support your decision without any judgment. I can help you establish healthy feeding practices and a good feeding relationship with your baby. If you’re unsure, I can discuss your options with you.

Not sure? Book a free 30-minute consultation with me to figure out what works best for you.

  • "Instilled a lot of confidence"

    Gem was our wonderful doula for birth and post-partum support. Her kind, reassuring and patient nature really helped us achieve the birth we desired. She instilled a lot of confidence in me which helped me to achieve my drug-free birth. She's extremely knowledgeable and provided so much hands on support. Without her, I'm not sure my son would have turned in to an optimal position. When we bought our son home, we were extremely anxious and distressed as first time parents and felt completely out of our depth. Gem really came to our rescue and pulled us out of the trenches. You won't regret engaging Gem, she truly is one ❤️. Thank you so much for everything.
