Sallyann Beresford

 

Sallyann became interested in supporting women during labour and birth, after her 2nd child was born in 2000. She completed a comprehensive doula training course with Michel Odent, and over the next few years went on to train as an antenatal yoga teacher, baby massage instructor, sleep consultant and hypnobirthing teacher.

She is very passionate about women’s choice regarding pregnancy and birth, and in 2014 began incorporating sessions during her antenatal courses that exclusively covered the role of the birth partner. The incredible success that clients had in achieving their dream birth after attending these unique classes, helped Sallyann to realise the gap that exists in the information available to women and their birth partners. She then wrote her popular book – Labour of Love – The Ultimate Guide to Being a Birth Partner.

Birthability is a full-service company, offering a wide range of services and personalised care.

 

 Alongside running Birthability, Sallyann lives with her husband, their 4 children and Cavapoochon dog Paisley.
