Ginny Phang has been a Doula since 2003 and has sup­ported over 250 births and taught count­less ante­na­tal classes to over 500 cou­ples.

Ginny believes in enrich­ing a woman’s child­birth expe­ri­ence, sup­port­ing cou­ples through their choices and help­ing them to achieve the best pos­si­ble birth expe­ri­ence.
She was trained under birth leg­ends such as Marie Mor¬gan, founder of the Hyp­no­Birthing Insti­tute, and Penny Simkin, founder of Doulas of North Amer­ica (DONA) and author of sev­eral child­birth books. Ginny is a trainer with both the Hyp­no­Birthing Insti­tute as well as DONA in the US. She is also cer­ti­fied as a Hyp­noFer­til­ity Ther­a­pist, Hyp­no­Birthing Prac­ti­tioner, Advanved Hyp­nother­a­pist, Mas­ter Neu­rostrate­gist, and is a Breast­feed­ing Con­sul­tant & Child­birth Edu­ca­tor.

In 2006, she facil­i­tated the first water­births in both National Uni­ver­sity Hos­pi­tal Sin­ga­pore and Mount Alver­nia Hos­pi­tal Sin­ga­pore. She was also nom­i­nated for Women’s Weekly magazine’s “Women of the Year Award” under the Edu­ca­tion sec­tion for recog­ni­tion of her work as a Doula.
Var­i­ous hos­pi­tals and orga­ni­za­tions have invited Ginny to give talks and work­shops based on her exper­tise. In 2007, she was invited by the Sin­ga­pore Inter­na­tional Con­gress of Obstet­rics & Gyne­col­ogy to speak on the role of Doulas for expec­tant par­ents, work­ing together as a team and water­birthing. She is also a reg­u­lar speaker for pre­na­tal yoga teacher train­ing cer­ti­fi­ca­tion courses.
Ginny is a sin­gle mother to a 9 year old son who is both the com­pass and the anchor of her life.

In 2003, Ginny co-​founded Flyin’ Solo, Singapore’s first and only sup­port group for unmar­ried moth­ers in Sin­ga­pore. The group has since dis­banded and she is work­ing on set­ting up a shel­ter for sin­gle moth­ers and aban­doned babies.

The media – from print to screen – has spot­lighted Ginny and her ser­vices time and again. She has been fea­tured in over a hun­dred pub­li­ca­tions, includ­ing dailies like The Straits Times and mag­a­zines like Today’s Par­ents, Sin­ga­pore Women’s Weekly and Moth­er­hood. In 2008, TIME mag­a­zine sought out a quote from Ginny in the arti­cle, The Labor Mar­ket. Ginny has also been fea­tured on Chan­nel News Asia and, most recently, on Click​net​work​.tv
Being a Doula is truly Ginny’s life’s call­ing – much more than a pro­fes­sion, it’s a real pas­sion. Unlike other prac­ti­tion­ers in this field, she uses her own jour­ney to sup­port other women through this sig­nif­i­cant con­tin­uum of wom­an­hood. It is an inti­mate voy­age, with no space for judg­ment but plenty of room for body, mind and soul sup­port at every step of the way.
