Hi; I'm Your Doula, Natalie Lütge
Certified Birth Doula, Aromatherapist & Rebozo Practitioner
I am a mother of three, all birthed naturally with a midwife (including a home birth) and I am qualified in aromatherapy and rebozo massage. Birthwork is more than just a passion for me: it is a calling and a ministry - of serving women and being a blessing where I can - through each woman's special journey.
I'm registered with Discovery, Fedhealth and Momentum medical aids.
I am based in Johannesburg, South Africa, serving at home births within the Gauteng region, or at the following birthing centres: Bloomsy Birthroom(Pretoria), Genesis Clinic (Saxonwold), Oxford Midwifery Unit (Saxonwold), Protea Midwifery Unit (Randburg), TLC Home Birth Centre (Linksfield), and This Is Us Practice (Pretoria).Â
As Your Doula, I'd like to invite you on a personal journey of discovering your deeper inner strength and your body's capability of birthing naturally.
It's a privilege to hold your space as you labour while guiding, encouraging and serving you and your partner through the process of bringing your baby into the world and through your journey of surrender and self-discovery.
My aim is to uphold your dignity by showing care and respect, while responding actively to the instinctive needs of your body through the birth process, and working together as a team to create a positive birthing experience that is empowering and memorable.
What is a Birth Doula?
A birth doula is a trained birth support professional who has an intimate and educated knowledge of the physiological and emotional process of birth, and generally (although, not always) has personal experience in this area. Birth doulas are specially trained to offer emotional, mental, physical (and in some instances, even therapeutic and spiritual) support to a woman and her birth partner throughout the labour, birth and immediate postpartum stage.
