Ember Maternal Care

ABOUT EMBER Hi, I'm Claudia and at Ember Maternal Care, mothers and their families are supported with compassionate postpartum doula care designed to nurture recovery, confidence and wellbeing throughout the fourth trimester. Offering personalised support including newborn care, feeding guidance, emotional support and practical household assistance. Families are cared for with empowerment, empathy and evidence based support during this transformative period. What a day with me might look like - When I come into your home my focus is simple, to support you in the ways that matter most that day. Maybe we sit together, and I hold space for you. You talk, I listen—really listen. The thoughts that have been circling, the questions, the quiet worries—you don’t have to carry them alone. You’ll be met with compassion and validation.

On other days, you may not feel like talking at all — and that’s completely okay. I’ll quietly take care of what’s been building up in the background while you take time for yourself — a shower, a moment of rest, or a breath of fresh air with your coffee.

In the meantime, your home is gently tended to. Dishes are washed and put away, laundry is cared for and folded, and your space is reset so everything feels calmer, lighter, and more in order.

If the night has been long and you need rest, I care for your baby and entertain your other children so you can sleep peacefully, even if just for a little while.

I also offer light meal preparation so that you feel nourished and satisfied and I can take care of some of those errands that are building up in the background to ease the mental load, allowing you to focus on what matters most.

ABOUT ME After experiencing my own feeding struggles, I remember feeling lost, helpless, and guilty like I wasn’t doing enough. That experience shaped the way I’ll show up for you - with honesty, compassion and zero judgement. There is no “perfect” way to feed your baby, only the way that works best for you and your family. At the same time, I was navigating a completely different shift — going from feeling strong and in control of my body, to needing to slow down and learn to appreciate it for everything it had done, and was still doing. That’s where my passion for supporting mothers truly began. Whether you’re having your first baby and are looking for that bit of extra help and guidance or if you are about to have a new addition to an already growing family, I’m the doula for you!

SO WHY THE NAME EMBER? I draw inspiration from the ancient myth of the phoenix — the majestic bird that rises renewed from its own ashes. Motherhood is a profound rebirth. It asks you to release old versions of yourself, navigate the intensity of transformation, and emerge stronger, wiser, and more deeply connected to your inner strength.

The “ember” represents that quiet, resilient glow that remains even in the most challenging moments of the postpartum journey when it can be easy for a mother’s inner shine to dim. Ember Maternal Care exists to honour the full cycle of transformation: from the ashes of what was, through the quiet glow of recovery, to the vibrant flame of a mother who feels supported, seen, and whole once more.

I believe every mother deserves to rise — supported, seen, and whole.
