I believe we all deserve
to be held and cared for
through the big transitions
in our lives.

Why I Became a Doula

I felt called to become a doula because I strongly believe that every birthing person deserves compassionate, personalised care and support during the incredibly tender journey into parenthood. Too often, new parents wait until they’re completely burnt out before asking for help, and by then, even asking for support can feel like another thing on an already overwhelming list.I'm also passionate about empowering the people around you - partners, family members, and chosen support people - not just mothers. When your support network is involved and confident from the very beginning, it changes everything. For your relationships, your household, and your family as a whole. Getting this right early on lessens so many issues down the track, whether that's an uneven mental load, friction over household duties, or simply feeling unsupported. Supporting the whole family unit, not just the birthing parent, is at the heart of how I work.

How I Support You

I support you through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with:

  • Evidence-based information; so you can make informed choices with confidence

  • Continuity of care; a consistent, familiar presence throughout your journey

  • Compassionate emotional and practical support; for you and your support network

My Training

I am currently a student doula with Womb to Tomb Foundation, the only nationally accredited birth and postnatal doula training provider in Australia, and am now completing my supervised placements. What this means for you:

  • Heavily discounted packages while I complete my accreditation

  • 24/7 backup support from a team of experienced, accredited doulas

  • Genuine, dedicated care from someone who is deeply invested in getting this right for you

Beyond My Doula Work

Purpose shows up in my life in a few different ways. I love talking with women: hearing their stories, understanding their hopes and struggles, and helping them find the right care and support when they need it. For me, there's something so satisfying about connecting someone with a good care provider or helping to troubleshoot a problem they've been quietly carrying.I also volunteer regularly at my local Pride Centre and at my child's school, both of which have given me an enormous sense of connection and community.When I’m not supporting families, you’ll find me reading, baking, spending time in the water, or catching up with girlfriends. But most of all, I love spending time with my own little family.
