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.

Our Doulas and Service Providers
What mums and parents say about our Doulas and Service Providers...
“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

“Melinda was amazing and I’m so glad I chose her to support me through my pregnancy and postnatal period. I’m ... quite certain that without her I would not be doing this well. She was so attentive, I never felt alone and knew she’d always be there should I need her. ”Show Less

“"Christa’s passion, enthusiasm and belief was inspiring and reassuring. From the bottom of my heart I truly want to thank ... Christa for the incredible support she showed me throughout my pregnancy and birth and for the amazing gift of self-belief and inner strength that was instilled in me in the lead up to the birth of our first baby. I don’t think I have ever met such a kind and passionate person.””Show Less
