The Ultimate Birth Partner Podcast

Everything a pregnant woman and her partner need to know to support them in preparation for labour, birth, and the early days with a new baby. This podcast gives both you and your partner the confidence and knowledge about the role they play throughout your birth, so they don't undermine or ruin the birth for you. Throughout these episodes, my guests and I will share with you our experience of being a birth keeper and advocate for women across the globe. This podcast is inclusive and invites guests from all backgrounds to enable you to hear a wide range of experiences.

Soothing and informative

I didn’t think it was possible to have meditative feel to a podcast and yet so informative at the same time. Her voice is really soothing to the ears. Everyone and their mama should subscribe now! This podcast has valuable information on how to not only care for a pregnant woman or even yourself if you’re pregnant. It’s almost a crime that she’s giving us this content for free. If you are planning on having kids or know someone who is, you should give this podcast a try. You won’t regret it!

Let’s talk❤️🎙

I found Sallyann’s voice very clear and easy to listen to. I wish my husband and I would have had some of your tips last year when I birthed my daughter. It’s never too late to learn something new! Come into this podcast with an open mind willing to learn new things. Subscribe Now😊

Great for new and experienced doulas

I have owned my doula agency for 18 years and I have learned something new from each episode. These podcasts are very thorough and not too long:) They are worth a listen for sure!
