Maddie Spawton Postpartum Doula and Naturopath

Maddie is a Melbourne-based postpartum doula and degree-qualified naturopath, offering practical postpartum support for families in Melbourne. Maddie is passionate about working with families to ease some overwhelm, and bring some peace and joy in the wonderful bubble that is the postpartum period.

Maddie is down to earth, empathetic and flexible to your needs. Providing a ‘menu of services’ prior to a session, you can pick and choose if you want any of the ‘extras’ (like a hamper with naturopath approved goodies, or pre made meals and snacks), or if you just want a standard session that can go with the flow of what you need on the day.

The list really is exhaustive but here are some things people want in their sessions:
– Holding your baby in the carrier whilst they’re awake, or for their nap, so you can sleep, bathe, do that thing you’ve been wanting to do but haven’t had a chance.
– Play with an older child whilst you feed the babe
– Walk the dog
– Clean out pet bedding
– Cook some meals with food in the fridge, make some snacks
– Do some washing, clean up in the kitchen, change the sheets, general small household tasks
– Debrief your birth
– Discuss and plan healthcare

Some families book in one or two sessions, some prefer regular, ongoing sessions.
Some families want support when they bring home their newborn, some want support when their baby is 9 months old and teething. It really is so individual, and you can make it what you want!

Maddie also offers a basic cleaning service with the sensitivity of a postpartum doula, beneficial for pregnancy nesting and busy young families.
