Why do I need a
Doula?
Doulas are for everyone! From home births to elective caesareans and everything in between, a Doula respects your choice and will walk the path with you.
A Doula’s time is dedicated to you… you can decide when you need it. A prenatal and birthing Doula can be engaged at any time during pregnancy. A post-natal Doula can be engaged before or after delivery.
A Doula will support your birth, be it at home with your home birthing specialist, or at hospital with your medical team.
Although Australia does not currently have a governing body or accreditation process for Doulas, high quality training is offered through many Doula training academies. Search the Doula Directory and review profiles for more information on individual Doulas’ training and experience.
Doulas and midwives are complementary members of your birthing team. A trained Doula physically and practically supports all aspects of your wellbeing, and can contribute to the needs of your home and family. A midwife is a medically trained healthcare provider focusing on pregnancy, labour and birth.

Kellie Whiskin
Doula
“Sam is an amazing doula. With both our families living abroad, my husband and I had very limited support and ... I found it emotionally and physically very challenging the first few weeks since our son was born. Sam was there when I felt the most vulnerable; she cooked delicious meals when my body needed nourishment; she gave my son the best baby wearing when my arms needed a rest. Sam is compassionate and passionate about her work. I thank her for guiding me through my postpartum plan…”Show Less

““Amy’s passion for supporting women meant that she went above and beyond and provided a wealth of knowledge and resources ... along my journey. During birth, her presence was reassuring and she knew when to step in and when to provide space. After birth I felt so supported with Amy’s delicious meals, teas and chats. I feel incredibly grateful to have found Amy during my pregnancy and couldn’t have asked for a better journey into motherhood thanks to her support.””Show Less

“In a period where I, like many parents of newborn babies, felt totally overwhelmed and exhausted, Sami was a real ... pillar of support. Having her on my team was without a doubt the best investment I could have made in my emotional and physical postpartum well-being.Each week, like some sort of Mary Poppins character, she'd pull exactly what I needed from her magical basket of supplies - whether it was a foot soak, a herbal tea or a baby carrier to soothe our little one while I napped. ”Show Less
