My name is Óisín Schots and I am the founder of RosyBirths.
I am a mother to two fantastic kids, living in the wilds of south Co. Kerry, Ireland. I found myself on the path to become a doula shortly after the birth of my second child when I got to experience first-hand the support of a doula and realised how transformative it could be, especially in our busy maternity system. I live in a very rural area with limited birth setting options and minimal antenatal support, so I am very familiar with the added stress this can cause during pregnancy. I have an absolute love of learning! As such I keep myself very up-to-date on current research, and will always strive to ensure I am providing clients with information which is evidence based. My passion for teaching is also shown in my antenatal classes, where I hope to make a difference to the wider community by ensuring everyone knows all their options when it comes to pregnancy and birth. I understand that not all pregnancies are approached with excitement, and work hard to ensure that I am supporting clients in the way they feel is important to them. |

I am a current member of the Executive Committee for the Doula Association of Ireland, as well as the Irish Ambassador for the Doula Association, which is a worldwide organisation. As a doula I am always learning new ways to support my clients, and to date I have completed the following trainings through BirthBliss Academy, Evidence Based Birth & Madriella Doula Trainings:

When not immersed in the birth world, I’m mainly kept busy with being a mum which most days is an adventure in itself! My son and daughter share my love of the outdoors so we can often be found down at the beach or exploring the hidden little world of a forest. If the South Kerry weather drives us indoors I enjoy getting lost in a good book or trying my hand out at a new craft.
