ashley winning - doulaHello Mama! Congratulations on your new little baby bump or newborn!
I’m Ashley mother of two beautiful little girls. I’m a Postpartum Doula & I support mothers with babies from birth up to one year who feel isolated, overwhelmed and exhausted in this new little world of motherhood. OR adding another little bundle of joy into their family. I provide mothers with non-judgemental support, providing evidence-based information and resources, a listening ear, gentle guidance and understanding. Giving mum and baby the best start to motherhood, nurturing her confidence to mother the way she feels is best for her, and empowering her to be the best mama she can be. After having two little ones of my own and struggling through the isolation, overwhelm and sleep deprivation I wished I had someone love and support me through motherhood and help me gain the confidence I needed. I believe all mothers deserve the best start to motherhood, and that begins with the best support. I am based in Queensland and I can support you through my new online platform being released soon – Divine Motherhood Retreat. (You can find out more on my website). I would love to nurture and support you to find peace and joy in your journey as a mother. Please contact me through my website for a free consultation, I would love to hear from you! SERVICE AREA

amelia Parkingson - doulaHi – I’m a doula and childbirth educator in the Inner West of Sydney. I had a homebirth myself in the UK and love supporting women to birth their baby THEIR way. I have been teaching hypnobirthing and education for childbirth over the last 5 years in London and Sydney. I have witnessed women own their birth and take control of the experience. Teaching online birth courses and face to face workshops is a passion of mine as I love watching the transformation as women and their birth partners learn all about the processes and how incredible our bodies are.
I love supporting women on this incredible journey and support throughout pregnancy birth and the postnatal period. I also facilitate a private mother’s group in the Inner West Sydney that supports women throughout those early months. I run the Positive Birth Movement for Inner West Sydney and also volunteer with Homebirth NSW on their committee. I am passionate about feminism and supporting women’s rights in childbirth. I would love to chat with you further about your pregnancy and birth and to see how I can support you on this magical journey. SERVICE AREA

Plus having a private midwife and a doula makes for a perfect team Postpartum is probably my favourite time, guiding clients in the transition to parenthood.

amey bencke - doula & photographerI have a bit of a reputation as a ‘non-hippie’ doula. I don’t do yoga, never meditate and don’t use essential oils. I’m a firm believer that all you really need to give birth is YOU, but with me as a member of your team, you’ll receive the emotional and physical support needed to birth like the goddess you are.
As a birth photographer, my aim is to be invisible whilst capturing one of the most precious days of your life. Birth photography is not about the crotch shot – it’s about the love, joy and intricate details of your birth and first few hours as a family. Be confident in the knowledge that you and your partner can be fully present to every moment as all your memories are being beautifully and professionally captured. 8 years and over 100 births means I have been able to perfect the art of simultaneously supporting and photographing births. I now offer both services in my Novel and Trilogy packages. SERVICE AREA

CARA GREEN - DOULAHello! I am Cara.
I am a Birth Doula, otherwise known as an advocate, an educational resource, a support person, a friend, and the holder of your sacred birth space. My belief stands that pregnancy, birth, and becoming a parent is the greatest vessel for creativity, self-reflection, and a new sense of wholeness. Taking the fear out of birth and uncovering the trust and confidence in yourself, and in your innate wisdom as a woman, you are then able to take full advantage of this experience. My services surround the notion that only once you have intentionally and consciously connected to yourself, your partner, and your body, can you hold the space for the depth of connection you desire for your birth and your baby. There is a vast world of undervalued magic and healing when you support the journey of unraveling blocks, trauma, and tension within the mind and body. When you take the time and energy to go within, alleviate these, and understand the layers of pregnancy and birth, you create space for the new, and for what was always. That is where I come in as your doula. SERVICE AREA

claire Heenan - doulaHi, I’m Claire!
I am a certified birth and postnatal doula. I am continuously building on my knowledge by going to workshops such as Optimal Maternal Positioning, Why Induction Matters, the With Woman Retreat and others. I trust deeply that women are the experts when it comes to their babies. As your doula, it’s my role to be alongside you in whatever capacity you want and need. I will be with you before, during and following birth, there to talk when you need to make informed choices about the care of you and your baby. I’ve always believed in the magic created when women support women and this is at the heart of my work as a doula. I am lucky enough to live and work primarily within the beautiful Blue Mountains community, but I am passionate about powering with women from all over Sydney through the most life-changing, soul-awakening, mind-blowing transition of their lives. It’s imperative that as a birthing woman, you surround yourself with a birth team that aligns with your individual vision for your birth and postnatal experience. A woman giving birth is a warrior and a queen, and should be made to feel as such. Our first meeting is absolutely obligation free but hopefully we can work together to rock your birth, your way. My other services include facilitation of Women’s Circles at the MoonCourt temple at my home, Mother Blessings and Closing the Bones Ceremony. I also offer online, virtual Women’s Circles so that women from all over the globe can gather and feel our collective power. SERVICE AREA

DANAE CAPPELLETTO - dOULAHello, I’m Danae! I am A Specialised Birth Doula, Sydney’s first and only Optimal Maternal Positioning (OMP) Birth Educator & Pregnancy Yoga teacher.
My passion is Birth, I just LOVE it. I work as a full time Birth Doula and my particular skill set is definitely in the Birth arena. Over the past 10 years, supporting hundreds of women in Birth (in Australia and Haiti), my journey to OMP came from an obsession with understanding how baby’s move through the pelvis and how that facilitates the progression of the labour. OMP is not just about me having this amazing knowledge, its about teaching women and partners to have an incredible depth of understanding of the mechanics of Birth, a birthing woman’s body , the journey your baby takes and how to be hands on to really make a difference to Birth outcomes in any environment. In my Sunday morning weekly Yoga Classes I welcome women from 12 weeks on in their pregnancy and take them through to birth (sometimes women in early latent labour in class, so beautiful). The practices incorporate: 10 minute birth education / preparation topic, a physical practice, specialised meditation, hypnobirthing affirmations in practice, calm birth practice, pranayama (breathing techniques), how to use vocal sound in birth and active birthing preparation and postures. Integrating my unique birth work experiences, a thorough understanding and passion for OMP practices and education, Yoga practice, Meditation and Breath Practices, makes my approach a very unique and beautiful way to prepare your Body and Mind for the ultimate experience of Birth. I have 2 gorgeous young boys and the most amazing and supportive husband (who are now quite the birth experts). Birth is my passion, my calling and my life!

daniela escobar - doulaPostnatal care is so profound. It takes mom to a state of nurturance and nourishment. It is a moment for her body to heal and for her heart to be fully connected with her baby.
During this time, mom’s physiology is a delicate as her newborn’s. Therefore she should honor this opportunity to allow her body to heal in a way that will leave mom stronger than ever. The six weeks following birth are one of the most critical times for both mom and baby. Ayurveda considers this time to be a precious time in a mother’s life. SERVICE AREA

georgie jhet - doulaI’m Georgie and I have been a Doula since finishing my training with the Australian Doula College at the beginning of 2012 and so far have attended around 35 births. I have also completed the ADC’s Childbirth Educator’s Course since and became a Placenta Specialist nearly 4 years ago!
Before training as a Birth Worker, I was in the corporate world working in IT & Telco primarily for 20 years! My first birth experience fast-tracked my passion and compassion for birthing women and their partners and I attempted a homebirth with my daughter, but after a long labour, I headed to hospital and received a little help to bring her Earthside. I really believe my birthing journeys have prepared me in so many ways to be open-minded about my clients’ choices and respect their decisions implicitly. I learned that each birth teaches a woman and her partner so much about themselves and have since concentrated on joining many of the Sacred Living Movement’s retreats around the world – the foundation of their training is based on coming together in circle, to connect, to honour the process and each other and to have lots of fun doing so. I am so drawn to homebirth and if given the chance for another child, it would be my top choice once again. I am based between the Eastern Suburbs and Northern Beaches of Sydney and would love to meet you to discuss how I can bring connection and fun in addition to the usual doula talking points.

I recognised that my choice in having specialised birth support was the key to a powerful experience. I am now a pregnancy and birth doula, dedicated to creating a safe, respectful and supportive space for all women who come into my care. As I am continually updating my skills, I support all types of birth places/choices, love building relationships & helping partners become an integral part of the labour process.
A large part of our antenatal visits revolves around preparation for birth whereby I equip you with knowledge & choices while also working closely to give you the support you need to achieve your desired experience. I also believe in the importance of postpartum care and planning whereby I focus on caring for a newborn, sleeping & breastfeeding challenges alongside pumping/expressing education. I specialise in mother’s of multiples (MoM’s) & work with them to navigate their birthing choices as well as focusing on subjects like premature birth, NICU/Special Care, vaginal, breech & caesarean birth preparation.

I'm passionate about helping parents to feel informed, confident and cared for in birth, breastfeeding and early parenthood. I’ve been supporting women and families in pregnancy, birth and postnatally since 2012 as a qualified birth and postnatal doula. I’m also a certified Hypnobirthing Australia™ practitioner and used the tools myself for my second birth at home. And, I advocate for women’s choices through my volunteer work with Homebirth NSW and Friends of Northern Beaches Maternity. We women really are amazing in birth and as mothers! We just need a team that believes in us, knowledge about our choices and how our incredible body works, and some genuine TLC. My job as doula is to help you to find the information and tools you need to trust in yourself, your body and your baby. And, to give you all (you, your partner and your older children if you have them) the emotional and physical support you need for the most beautiful, comfortable and joyous time possible. Both as you work to bring your baby into the world, and afterwards. I’m based in Avalon on the Northern Beaches with my hubby, two girls, cat and 6 hens, and attend births locally, in the Eastern Suburbs, Inner West and North Shore. I’d love to talk to you about your dreams for a beautiful birth and motherhood journey. SERVICE AREA

kelly ponsford - doulaHi, I’m Kelly
Pregnancy and early parenting is such a special time of life and our experiences are unique. As a qualified doula, my aim is to support your family to find the tools that best support your vision for pregnancy, labour, birth and early parenthood. Having benefitted from the wonderful care and support that my private midwifes and home births brought for my family and the births of my two gorgeous girls, I truly value an individualised approach. Supporting women and their families during their most vulnerable and life changing moments in pregnancy, labour and early parenting feels very special. I offer support using techniques from Birthing from Within, Spinning Babies and Optimal Maternal Positioning during your preparations for labour and during labour itself. In addition, as we work together to understand your birth preferences and how I can best support you and your family, I will offer sources of research-based evidence to help inform your decision making. Assisting your preparations for the early days of parenting with conversations around sleep, feeding, parenting approaches and what support for you looks like are also very much within the scope of our conversations. Congratulations on taking steps to support yourself and your family on this journey. Every woman deserves the continuity of support that a doula can provide. I live in Allambie Heights, NSW and love supporting families along the Beaches and North Shore. I invite you to investigate your options further and would be very happy to have a chat and meet with you and your partner without obligation. SERVICE AREA

NADIA TAYLOR - DoulaI am a certified and experienced birth & postpartum doula and run My Sacred Birth & Beyond. I am a passionate birth advocate and I also teach Birth Mapping sessions, Beer + Bubs childbirth classes for the dads, and am a placenta encapsulator! Originally from Seattle, WA (USA) I am a mum of 3, with personal experience having 2 VBAC births, (1 of which was also a breech delivery.)As someone who grew up in an all-female family, supporting women has always been important to me. In 2009 I discovered what a doula was and there began my journey to becoming a birth and postpartum doula. Educating women on what to expect from their bodies during labour, along with learning their options and choices for their birth and the postpartum period is my passion. I believe empowering women with this knowledge leads to better outcomes and the overall experience of becoming a mother as it eases her fears and worries and replaces them with peace and trust in her body and ability to give birth.
I also believe that the partner has an important role in pregnancy and labour as her advocate so I also educate and support them before and during labour. How a woman is treated and spoken to will shape how her labour progresses (or doesn’t!) So it is my job to support, protect, and keep the major hormones- endorphins and oxytocin levels up, and adrenaline hormones down, which will help the labour progress more smoothly and faster and keep mother, baby, and partner happy, healthy, and safe. Many of my clients say I have a calming and peaceful nature and with my passionate and protective spirit, these are just some of the things that make me perfect for the job. The postpartum period is also a sacred time in a mother’s life, and I believe the mother should be loved on and cared for just as much as the new baby. It is my job as a postpartum doula, to ensure the mother gets rest, comfort and support, fed with nutrients and more rest! With personal experience of having my family overseas and no local family nearby, I am the very example of why I think every woman should have postpartum support & care after giving birth and one of the reasons why I have desired to pursue my career as a Postpartum doula and gain the qualification. Outside of doula work, you might see me sewing, baking, hiking, or enjoying lazy days of legos and reading. Oh and coffee, coffee and more coffee. ;) SERVICE AREA

romina gardella - doulaHi I’m Romi, I am the woman, Mother, daughter, sister, friend, lover and Goddess behind SoulBirth. My vision in life is to support and empower women throughout all of their journeys. My aim is to specifically support women as they enter the transformational time of Motherhood, a life changing rite of passage.
I believe in the power and strength every woman holds within. I believe being held by a Tribe is a gift for life. I believe the earth cycles act as a guide for channelling our energies and that we are all Goddesses of this land. Throughout my own journey of Birth and Motherhood, an even deeper connection to women and their own paths has grown within me. The sacred experience of Birth is a transformational, nurturing and empowering time for women, their partners and who they choose as their birth team, and having the right support is an invaluable part of it all. As your Doula I will empower you to make the right informed choices, to be your advocate and to support you through your whole experience from pregnancy, birth and postnatal. I am also a qualified Inside Birth® Childbirth Educator. I will help you understand your rights and find the information you need to choose what you believe is best for you and your baby, to trust in your body and your ability to birth and to hold your space so you can have the vision of your birth come true.

samantha gunn - doulaHi there, I’m Samantha – a Birth and Postnatal Doula living on the North Shore but covering all areas of Sydney. I have 4 wonderful teenagers and it was their births and my own journey into parenthood that drew me to birth and postnatal work. I am a homebirth mum myself and had a doula at each of my births, so I understand the difference that extra support can make.
I am passionate about promoting birth as a normal, positive experience which is why I love supporting homebirth mums and why I run the Positive Birth Movement for North Shore Sydney and a VBAC Mums Support Group for Sydney. I believe in the power of connection and women supporting each other. I am certified in Hypnotherapy, Aromatherapy, Spinning Babies and Acupressure and use these along with many other techniques in my support of women and their families. I’d love to chat with you about your pregnancy and birth and how I can support your during this incredibly special time. SERVICE AREA

SARAH Newling - DOULAHi, my name is Sarah - I teach specialised prenatal YOGA and am a birth and postpartum DOULA. Lucky enough to live walking distance from the Belmont Birth Centre in Lake Macquarie, you’re likely to see me making a dash at 2am in trackies or skipping home with a post-birth glow! I also travel to support births (home & hospital) across the Lake, Newcastle, Maitland and Hunter region.
I don’t teach birth, I help women remember. I offer prenatal yoga along with conscious birth preparation to assist mothers in cultivating the tools necessary to bring their babies into the world healthy and empowered. When a baby is born, so too is a mother. I delight in creating beautiful, warm and welcoming spaces for families. I act as a calm and reassuring presence at every birth (home, birth-centre, hospital). My role is to encourage, educate and support. I provide balanced research and resources to inform families of their options and will act as a sounding-board through each trimester to ensure you feel confident to navigate the vast and often perplexing birth landscape, especially true through COVID. I believe birth is one of the most transformational experiences in a person’s life. I am passionate about integrating ancient feminine wisdom with modern technique to guide women towards positive births, full of presence and connection. As a mother to two (small-ish) humans, I only work with two birthing clients per calendar month. I invite you to connect with a complimentary ‘birth discovery’ call so I can understand your needs and tailor a package to you. You can email sarah@yogimama.com.au or text 0417 711 300. SERVICES

Treza Redden - DoulaI am in my mid 50’s and a Mother to mother’s. I have 4 grown married adult children and 14 grandchildren. I love babies and have always.
I reside on the Northern Beaches of Sydney with my husband of 34 years. I see pregnancy, birth, and the growth of a family as one of the most beautiful things about humanity. As a Doula, I am privileged to help women and their partners make these experiences as positive and healthy as possible. It’s never surprising to me when another scientific paper proves the positive impact a doula can have on the mother and family. I am proud to have received my certification and offer care to women and families across the Northern Beaches, Sydney and beyond. I also offer OMP and Spinning Babies techniques along with holistic care through homeopathy. Empowering the mother and giving her a voice is essential. I believe Birth is a very natural God designed journey. SERVICE AREA
