Meet
Samantha Thurlby-Brooks
I was born with my twin sister
in Oxford, England in 1979.
I started my body work training
back in 2001 straight after I'd finished my Philosophy
degree in the UK. I primarily work with women
which has led me on to one of the most joy-filled part
of a woman's life; pregnancy and childbirth. I
support my massage and doula clients not only
with touch, but also with the knowledge and wisdom
I have gained through some of the worlds most
respected teachers in their field.
From 2005-2011 I have massaged
nearly 2,000 pregnant women. I came to New Zealand
in 2007 to work with Bella Mama pregnancy massage
company and ran my own franchise in Mt Eden
for two years until closing the doors to focus
on my own projects. Working with Bella Mama for
four and a half years has been incredibly fulfilling
and I now carry on this work with private clients
from home.
Since inventing the Mumanu® Pregnancy and Postnatal Pillow, I split my
time between Joyful Childbirth and the Mumanu®
brand.
Because I don't have my own children yet, I am
able to offer myself as a doula, masseuse and
tutor without restriction.
I hope the information I share
with you on this Joyful Childbirth website gives
you as much joy and confidence as it's given me
to research and study it. Please do get in contact
with me to tell me how the information has helped
with your Joyful Childbirth.
