Hello, I’m Kelly, an emerging birth and postpartum doula in Sydney’s North Shore.
Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are powerful rites of passage that are undervalued in today’s society. This monumental time of your life deserves emotional and physical support. But the village that gave this so readily to the long line of mothers before us is no longer available to many. It’s in this space where I show up for parents—becoming part of that vital support network.
You deserve to enter and emerge from birth and the fourth trimester feeling physically and emotionally well. I help you do that by providing continuity of care, evidence-based information, and tools that help you to take ownership of your birth, make informed decisions, and embrace your power as you go through this season of life.
Whether you need guidance on preparing for labour, birth, and postpartum, help navigating your care options and birth plan, or informational support to understand your choices and decisions, our work together is tailored to your wants and needs. We figure out what that looks like up front and go from there. But the end result is that you feel excited, relaxed, and confident in trusting your intuition as you welcome a new life into the world.
A bit about me
I’m a mum to three beautiful humans – two grown-up kids and one in primary school, so I’ve come through the other side and not just survived but managed to (mostly) thrive. I bring my lived experience, calm manner, and non-judgmental approach to our time together.
I’ve had several careers in my life, and serendipitously enough, everything I’ve learned and experienced along the way has prepared me to move into birth work. I have a background in counselling, am a qualified massage therapist, and I’ve worked and volunteered with some of society’s most vulnerable people. Whether doing this, working in the corporate world, or running my own successful business as a freelance writer, I’ve always believed in helping people. My grandparents were amazing examples of how to put good into the world, and their legacy still inspires me every day.
I have completed my formal training at the Doula Training Academy. This has helped to equip me with the exceptional skills, tools, and techniques that can help make your birthing and postpartum journey a safe and positive experience.
If you think we’d vibe well together, I’d love to chat about how I can support you.
My name is Kelly, and I am a qualified birth and postpartum doula who has completed my training through the Doula Training Academy. I service the North Shore of Sydney, helping you enter and emerge from birth and the fourth trimester feeling physically and emotionally well.
