What Is A Doula?
A doula is an experienced companion who understands the emotional and physical needs of a woman and her family throughout pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period. A doula provides continuous, non-medical support and care.
Our Services
We certify and train doulas to be well equipped to support birthing women and their partners, on an emotional and practical basis. They interact sensitively with all those involved with pregnancy, birth and the early postnatal period.
Birth Stories
Surrounding birthing women and their partners with positive birth stories is an essential part of birth preparation. Our doulas and clients share their stories with openness and honesty.
For Health Professionals
Our doulas work within a Code of Practice to deliver quality non-medical support to women and their families. We believe in the importance of maintaining respectful relationships between doulas and health care professionals.
Code of Practice
All Australian Doulas are required to adhere to our 16 point Code of Practice. It has been established to ensure the welfare of our doulas, the women and families that use our service and the future of our professional reputation.
