A birth Doula’s primary role is to support birthing women and their partners by offering information, advocating for your intentions and needs, and providing physical and emotional support during labour and birth.

A postpartum Doula is a non-medical professional employed to provide guidance, physical and emotional support to newborn parents. My main role is to encourage self-confidence in you, as new parents, by supporting you and your family with evidence-based information and practical and emotional care after the birth of a baby.

The earlier the better! Ideally we will meet casually for a chat before you book me so we can both be sure we’re a good fit for each other, and this can happen sometime between 8-20 weeks gestation. Then we would book in your Postpartum Planning session around 30 weeks. In saying this, I have also taken on families that have already had their baby!

I will support you from the moment you book me in, whether that's at 8 weeks or 2 weeks postpartum (pending availability)!

I will support you from the moment you book me in, whether that's at 10 weeks gestation or 38 weeks!

The entire Canberra area. If you live in the Canberra surrounds, contact me, and we can discuss. I’m willing to travel depending on my availability.

A Doula is not recognised as a certified profession, however, we do have certification for completion of training.

I completed my Doula training through the Australian Doula Collage (Now “Womb to Tomb Foundation”). I’m constantly furthering my education and have recently completed the Accidental Counsellor course through Lifeline. I also hold a WWVP card, First Aid and Mental Health First Aid certificate along with current CPR competencies.

Yes absolutely, I offer one-off support visits. If you would like to book a one-off visit get in contact and we can chat about tailored support.

I like to schedule 3 hour visits. This allows enough time for us to debrief since the last visit, put a load of washing on and hang it out, cook you some lunch and if you are breastfeeding, I can provide information or suggestions on positioning and latch.

Most families opt for 1-2 visits per week with visits usually concluding by the 8-12 week mark depending on the support package selected.

Whilst I am a certified Birth & Postpartum Doula and absolutely love attending births, with a little one of my own at home and still working part-time, being on-call often can be tricky. At this stage I am taking a break from providing birth support.
