Description

Hi! I’m Damaris. I have been working with pregnant and new mums for over 10 years. First as a midwife in Germany and then as a doula in Australia.

Back in Germany, I worked as a hospital and homebirth midwife in educating and supporting mums from early pregnancy, through birth up until their postpartum.

I started incorporating Massage into my work in 2013, and since then it has played an important and beneficial role in the way I support both pregnant and postnatal mothers.

Since coming to Australia, I have discovered a real passion for the postpartum period. I see an overwhelming need for new mums to receive encouragement, care and support. Every mum needs and deserves to be mothered over this period and nurtured in a non-judgmental way so that the best mum within her will be available for her new baby.

During your postpartum, you will be cared for with massage, food, practical & emotional support and much more. All so you can rest and recover well, learn to breastfeed and bond with your baby in a calm and nurturing environment.

I provide doula and massage services during your pregnancy and postpartum.

Please reach out so we can discuss how I can best support you. I am looking forward to meeting you. Damaris

Damaris - Mums Oasis

"From the moment I first met Damaris, I felt her thoughtful and knowledgeable presence. It was an easy and natural decision to choose her as my birth doula for the birth of my first baby. She was a calm and confident force in the lead up to the birth, during my labour and after the birth to help me process the experience. She was a gentle yet endlessly strong support for me and my husband and I am so grateful she was able to guide me through this amazing experience. Even when the birth took some unexpected turns, she was there offering encouragement, helping me find some rhythm, always with compassion and understanding. She has become a very special person in my family's life and we will always cherish the experience of having her with us on this journey. She also gives the most amazing pregnancy massages which was a beautiful opportunity to connect with her prior to the birth as well as nurture my body and my baby. I cannot recommend Damaris highly enough as a birth doula. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, skill and calm with us." Jemma

“I am so grateful to have met Damaris. Her postpartum massage really eased my trouble spots after having a cesarean birth. She gave me some belly bands after. She even taught me some pelvic floor exercises I could do on my own to improve my pelvic floor muscles. I would highly recommend her to anyone. ” Rachel

“I absolutely loved having Damaris massage me during my pregnancy. I definitely needed it every week from week 35 to my birth. I strongly believe that it helped me prepare for labour. My labour was fast and I was able to handle the contractions without pain relief. I highly recommend!”

As a second time mum, I felt okay with looking after a baby- what I learned from my first experience was that I needed to look after myself, too. That’s where Damaris stepped in. She not only made space for me to get a much needed physical break but gently guided me to really prioritise rest (both mentally and physically)- a concept that was challenging for me to accept at first but something that will last well beyond the fourth trimester. What worked best for myself and my family was a weekly visit from Damaris. Her postnatal massages are a must and helped me avoid those aches and pains from pregnancy and hours spend nursing in awkward positions. She made sure I was comfortable, used beautiful essential oils, and I’d almost always fall asleep it was so relaxing. Her belly massage is the best! Damaris would also help with housework, meals, and the baby so I could get in some much needed extra rest. Knowing that I had set aside this time for me every week was so, SO good, and helped me get through the tougher days. I now firmly prioritise rest, knowing that it is not just for me but my family too. Every new mum needs Damaris!
