Suzy Fox
Hello Dear Hearts,
I am based in Sawyers Bay, Dunedin.
I mom, garden, and dance.
I like to attend births and hold people through times of transition - ecstatic and devastating.
I love the female body, especially the pelvis and pelvic floor. I occasionally teach yoga for the pelvic floor & postnatal yoga, do pelvic floor education, energy work, and massage.
I completed a doula training 20 years ago and have been gathering other tools all this time.
A friend asked me to attend her birth a year and half ago, and it all came together, like “aha! All those things I love are RIGHT HERE!”
I did a ton of freebirth prep for that first birth and have continued learning.
I’m working my way through the Indie Birth Doula and Childbirth Educator programs, but have been given a Transformational Breathwork course (lucky me!) so am currently focused on that.
I am 50 and have lived an adventurous and varied life.
I bring wisdom from listening to the stars, winds, and plants.
A hapu mama knows what is best for her & baby. I honor the family through the labyrinth of birth by listening and watching for what best serves the mama, and supporting the partner to be the partner.
I’m always happy to meet up for a chat, even just to listen as you sort your thoughts.
Love,
Suzy
Birth and Postpartum Testimonials
“I had Suzy as a Doula and only have positive things to say about my experience. She was a great extra set of hands and gave me a lot of helpful information beforehand for my first birth. She helped provide a stress-free and relaxed atmosphere during a long labour. Having her massage and be next to me during the pain was comforting. Thank you
”
“Suzy was a lovely, calming energy postpartum. She showed up gentle, calm, & understanding of the vulnerable state I was in. Her postpartum assistance and massage was helpful for allowing myself to relax. I would highly recommend her services. (Thank you for your help and supportive energy!)
”
“Suzy came after 10 hours of labour. As soon as she came in the space I felt a sense of ease, and that things were going to be fine. She did an amazing job looking after my partner’s needs. Very intuitive. She allowed me to have a break and was attentive to the birthing process. Her confidence was felt and I am very happy she was part of our birth. Would highly recommend her!
