Doreen VIC 3754, Australia
My path to this work began with my own birth journey — a traumatic first experience that left me feeling unheard, followed by a healing home birth that changed everything. I know what it feels like to walk into birth afraid, and I know what it feels like to walk out of it transformed. That is what brought me to this sacred, deeply human work. I am a Melbourne-based birth and postpartum doula with over seven years of experience supporting women and families through pregnancy, labour, and the tender weeks after birth. My approach is grounded in evidence-based knowledge and guided by intuition — I believe that birth is both a physiological event and a spiritual rite of passage, and that every woman deserves to be held with the same care, presence, and reverence. I support hospital births, home births, VBACs, and the fourth trimester. Whether you are stepping into birth for the first time, healing from a previous experience, or simply wanting someone in your corner who truly understands — I am here. Together we will build your birth plan, work through your fears, prepare your partner, and create the conditions for you to feel calm, informed, and deeply held. During labour I stay by your side — through every contraction, every decision, every moment of doubt and strength. And in the postpartum weeks, I offer gentle, practical support as you find your footing in this new chapter. Services include pregnancy preparation, birth planning, continuous labour and birth support, partner support, birth photography, breastfeeding guidance, postpartum visits, and closing the bones ceremony. I invite you to book a free 15-minute discovery call — no pressure, no obligation, just a conversation about your birth vision and whether I am the right fit for you.
