Frequently Asked Questions

  • A doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical, and informational support to individuals and families during pregnancy, labour and birth, and the postpartum period. Doulas are not medical providers and do not offer medical advice, but rather offer guidance, education and support to help individuals make informed decisions about their healthcare. The goal of a doula is to help women and their partners have a positive and empowered birth & postpartum experience. 

  • The earlier the better! Even if that means planning a pregnancy, just pregnant OR due any day! The earlier you get in contact, the more time we will have to get to know each other. On the flip side, if you’ve just had your baby and decide you’d like doula support let’s chat!

  • The entire Canberra area. If you live in the Canberra surrounds, contact me, and we can discuss. I’m willing to travel depending on my availability.

  • I am a certified Birth & Postpartum Doula and I completed my studies through the Australian Doula College, Australia’s premier Doula training organisation.

  • Yes absolutely, I offer one-off support visits. If you would like to book a one-off visit get in contact and we can chat about tailored support.

  • I like to schedule 2-3 hour visits. This allows enough time for us to debrief since the last visit, put a load of washing on and hang it out, cook you some lunch and if you are breastfeeding, I can provide information or suggestions on positioning and latch.

    Most families opt for 1-2 visits per week with visits usually concluding by the 8-12 week mark depending on the support package selected.

  • Whilst I am a certified Birth & Postpartum Doula and absolutely love attending births, with a little one of my own at home, being on-call often can be tricky. I’ll be taking on birth clients sporadically where I can accomodate being on-call. I offer birth education sessions as part of some of my packages. If you’re interested in antenatal & birth support, contact me to enquire about availability.
