About Me

Hi My Name is Emily

I’m excited to introduce myself to you, I’m Emily, a birth doula who is genuinely passionate about supporting mothers through their unique childbirth journey. I have always had an interest in birthwork and motherhood, but my love for birthwork began in 2019 and has since grown through over two years of dedicated training as a student midwife at the Royal Brisbane Women’s Hospital through the Australian Catholic University.

How I got into Doula Work

Working as a student midwife during that time, it was evident to me that the public birth system was just not equipped to support mothers in the way they should be cared for. Wholly, not only physically, but also emotionally. So I leaned into doula work, where I could fully support mothers without limited appointment timeframes and with continuity of care.

My focus extends beyond the delivery room; I’m particularly interested in antenatal education. Empowering women to make informed choices and ensuring that their birth experience aligns with their preferences and values is at the core of my practice. Having cared for numerous women in both postpartum and antenatal settings, I deeply understand the holistic nature of maternal care.

As an on-call doula, my extensive knowledge of childbirth is grounded in practical experience attending births. My approach is characterized by a nurturing and kind undertone, reflecting my genuine joy in supporting women through the transformative journey of matrescence. I believe in supporting not just the individual but the entire family unit to create a nurturing environment for the birthing experience.

Choosing me as your birth doula means gaining a skilled professional and a compassionate companion dedicated to enhancing your birthing experience. My holistic approach and unwavering commitment make me an invaluable asset to any family seeking personalized, supportive care during this transformative time.

Feel free to reach out with any inquiries or to explore the possibility of working together. Your journey through matrescence deserves the care and expertise that I bring to every birthing experience.

A Little More About Me

Beyond my passion for supporting women through this transformative experience, I’m also a proud dog mom to three furry companions, one of whom, Sophie, teaches me resilience daily by donning nappies due to incontinence.

When I’m not immersed in the world of birth, you’ll find me nurturing not just families but also my garden. I’m an avid cook with a particular love for crafting sourdough bread. In November 2024, I’ll be tying the knot with my best friend and fiancé, Joshua, in a celebration of love and commitment.

As much as I cherish the warmth of family celebrations, Christmas holds a special place in my heart. It’s a season of joy, reflection, and connection that resonates deeply with my values.

I’m not just a doula; I’m a lifelong learner, always seeking to expand my knowledge to better serve and support you. Let’s embark on this beautiful journey together, creating moments of empowerment, joy, and connection that will last a lifetime.
