Ney Kelegouris - Pregnancy, Birth, and Postpartum Support

I’m Ney, an emerging doula based in the Casey area, servicing South East Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula.

I live with my wonderful husband, 2 daughters, and 4 fur babies. Yes, it is as chaotic as it sounds.

Being a mum has always been my deepest desire, and I’m truly so grateful for my girls. As a family, we value trusting our instincts and cultivating a home that is loving, respectful, and seeks connection above anything else.

I can’t live without coffee, will never say no to a cheeky cocktail, love being outdoors, and am usually in bed by 8pm watching Friends for the millionth time. I’m down to earth, empathetic, and all about genuine connections.

I’m a qualified social worker with 6 years of experience working with children and families, supporting individuals impacted by trauma, and have most recently worked in the Emergency Department of a public hospital.

After a traumatic birth in May 2022 and a very isolating postpartum experience, I realised there is a significant gap in our system with very limited support for mothers during the perinatal period. Despite thinking I was well prepared for my own birth experience, I didn’t fully understand my options, and struggled to advocate for myself throughout my pregnancy and birth. This experience ignited my passion to support others embarking on the transformative journey of motherhood, and when I discovered doula work I just knew this was what I was meant to do.

Since then, I have had the most empowering HBAC (home birth after caesarean) in October 2024, and that fire in my belly to support other women to also have an empowering experience continues to grow!

I recognise that everyone’s experience is incredibly unique, and believe that every woman deserves to feel empowered, respected, and valued throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. As your doula, my hope is that you are given the opportunity to celebrate this time in your life, and are able to reflect on your journey in a positive way.

My approach is deeply rooted in autonomy. I am here to respect and advocate for your right to make your own decisions that align with your unique values and preferences. No matter how or where you choose to birth your baby, I support you. I offer education, resources, a listening ear, and encouragement so that you feel well informed and confident about birth and motherhood.

I’m also a strong advocate for mental health, recognising that emotional wellbeing plays a vital role in our experiences of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. As your doula, I’ll be there to provide not just physical support, but emotional care, ensuring that you feel heard, seen, and held every step of the way.

You have everything you need within you to birth and mother your baby. I am simply here to hold your hand and support you in whichever way you need.
If you’re ready to embark on this transformative journey, I’d love to connect with you and discuss how I can support you along the way.
