Doula and Parent Support

Welcome!

Sometimes it feels like pregnancy, birth and postpartum are all about the baby, but what about you? The health of our communities depends on mothers, parents and caregivers getting the support they need to be okay. Whether you are 5 weeks pregnant or your youngest is 15 years old, you matter too.

I’m Anna (she/her) and I’m a doula, but not in the “hold your hand during labour” kind of way you might be familiar with. My work happens outside the birthing room, providing you with emotional support, hands on help, specialised advice, evidence-based resources, organisational assistance and some serious TLC.

Whatever kind of support you need, whenever you need it, I am here and happy to help.

    “Motherhood can be hard and isolating. Anna’s encouragement and support to honour my own physical and emotional needs has been so valuable, which in turn makes me feel better able to look after my babies.”

Struggling? It's not just you.

My book "Mama, You're Not Broken: Unmasking the unspoken emotions of modern motherhood" explains why, and how to shake off the feeling of failure.
