Melbourne Doula Collective
Women are strong, capable, intuitive and thrive with good support.
Our approach
The way you are made to feel during your pregnancy, labour and birth has a lasting impact on your life as a new parent. Prioritising this life changing time with good support and education is vital in building your confidence, self belief and self worth.
We offer you continuity of care, creating a close relationship with you and your birth team for a safer and more satisfying birth experience.
Let us help you connect with one of our doulas who is available to see you, online or in-person.
Benefits to you and your family…
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the enormous amount of conflicting information out there, a little unsure of what your options really are or how to go about putting together your birthing goals?
We can help!
Feel reassured that you have an experienced birth worker by your side and at the end of the phone as you need; feel supported knowing you have your very own sounding board for all of your questions; a listening ear when emotions are high and skilled hands to support you physically through labour.
We can be your anchor to support you as you learn all there is to know about life with your newborn. We can connect you into local support services and professional help if needed.
Find your doula
Our Doulas are mobile, we come to your home and hospital or can ‘meet’ online if you’d prefer.
We all cover greater Melbourne but suggest you initially connect with the doula in your local area as she may have the greatest capacity to be by your side more swiftly and may also have the most experience within your local hospital/birthing centre.
