Caitlin Robertson - Hand in Hand Doula

Hi, I’m Caitlin!

I’m a postpartum doula, living, working and mothering on Bunurong Land in Melbourne’s Bayside area.

Since my heart was burst wide open with the birth of my first daughter in 2019, I have felt a calling to this work. I now have two daughters, Nola and Essie, who I parent with my beautiful partner Heath. We live near the beach and try to spend as much time as we can breathing in that salty sea air.

Of course my children consume a lot of my days (and mind!) during this season I find myself in, but they are only a snippet of my identity. The other parts of me could be described as backyard lunch host, sun seeker, rookie gardener, spicy marg lover, spaghetti slurper, doggo mama and chin wagger. I love being surrounded by my people but I also crave my own space. Nothing beats a quiet house and a cuppa in the sunny spot on the couch.

With all of its mess and madness at times, I adore motherhood and I love to adore on mothers. I love to fill bellies, nurture souls and have the big, juicy conversations necessary to facilitate an empowered postpartum experience.

Loving on mothers lights me up!
