Doula Services
With a holistic approach, our doula services nurture emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental aspects of birth. We stand with you and your support network.
Benefits of a doula
Health Benefits: Presence of doulas is associated with reduced cesarean sections, lower incidence of low birth weight, and decreased premature labor.
Improved Outcomes: Fewer cesarean sections lead to better outcomes for both mother and child.
Reduction in Interventions: Doula involvement correlates with decreased use of epidurals and increased breastfeeding rates.
Advocacy and Education: Doulas advocate for mothers, increasing satisfaction and well-being during the birthing process.
Mental Health Support: Doula support may reduce mental health issues, such as PTSD, especially in mothers without a support system.
Healthcare Disparities: Doulas can be particularly beneficial for women who experience healthcare disparities, although access may be limited.
Potential for Better Care: Doulas can contribute to providing better healthcare for mothers and children during childbirth.

What makes our service different?
Have someone who wants to be by your side and will be actively participating
You choose when you want to see us, we work around you!
We offer flexible support options
All our packages are designed to provide comprehensive care, from the early stages of pregnancy to the weeks following birth.
Our mission is to empower you with the knowledge, tools and support you need to feel confident and at peace during this transformative time
We value a trustworthy relationship. For transparency, here is the fine print:
each session visit is up to 2 hours
payments can be made in increments or in full. The full payment by 37 weeks.
we are located in Coburg, so any travel that is required outside of a 20km radius, a $20 travel fee may be applicable
during the birth, we stay up to 10 hours. This allows our doulas to:
stay focussed and fresh so we can provide the best possible support
provide active care to allow you and your birthing partner (if you have one) to rest and prepare mentally and physically
remain honest and transparent with our services
deliver a service that satisfies your needs. We find that most clients are more than satisfied with 10 hours
