Sunshine Coast Birth & Postpartum Doula
Transform your birth journey with full-spectrum motherhood support
Expert Doula Support from Pregnancy to Parenthood
My most comprehensive support package guides you and your partner through your journey to becoming parents. By combining professional birth support with extensive postpartum care, I ensure a smooth transition through the intensity of birth and the delicate adjustment period that follows.
Throughout your pregnancy, I'll provide the personalised guidance and education you need to approach birth with confidence and clarity. When labour begins, I'll remain by your side offering continuous physical and emotional support until your baby arrives. My presence ensures you're never alone during this transformative experience, with someone dedicated solely to your comfort and advocacy.
The postpartum period deserves as much attention as birth itself. With twice-weekly home visits for six weeks, I'll help ease your transition through household assistance, newborn care, breastfeeding guidance, and emotional support. This allows you to rest, recover, and bond with your baby while building confidence in your new role – creating a foundation for your family that extends far beyond those initial weeks.
This package is for you if you want to:
Experience complete, continuous support from pregnancy through postpartum
Navigate your birth journey with a knowledgeable advocate by your side
Recover from birth with professional in-home postpartum care
Build confidence in newborn care and breastfeeding with expert guidance
Receive practical household help during the crucial early weeks of parenthood
Create a smoother transition to motherhood with village-style support

“She is a wealth of knowledge”
“I don’t even have the words to describe how grateful we are that Jess was part of our pregnancy, birth and postpartum journey. She is a wealth of knowledge and really educated us during pregnancy, so we were able to make the best decisions around birth for our family.”
-
“She supported me to have the exact birth I wanted and I don’t think this would have been possible without her! We very much looked forward to her visits in those early postpartum weeks and appreciated the cleaning and chats to ensure I didn’t go crazy!!! We miss you Jess and will never be able to thank you enough.
Love Georgie, Jarrod, Billie and Otis xxxxx”

“Our guiding light”
“If you’re pregnant, get a doula. If you’re looking for a doula, get Jess. She is a gem, and we couldn’t have done this whirlwind of a journey without her. We were lucky to have Jess as our guiding light during my pregnancy, the birth of our daughter and in the baptism of fire that is postpartum.”
-
“As this was my first baby, I was nervous, uncertain, and had zero clue as to what was in store for me. Straight away, from the moment we met, Jess was calm, reassuring, understanding, and a wealth of knowledge. I went from fearful and without a clue, to feeling prepared and excited, with a flexible birth plan at the ready – but what was absolutely priceless, was the confidence that Jess instilled in me.
During labour, Jess was invaluable to both my husband and I. She advocated my wishes with the midwives, she was firm but calm, she reassured me and hubby through all the screamy bits and kept me on my birth plan. She literally kept her whole-body weight in pressure on my lower back for nearly 3 hours which is the ONLY thing that got me through my contractions. And somewhere in the middle of all this she was taking photos and videos, which were incredible to look back at a few weeks later.
And don’t discount needing a doula in the postpartum journey, which is really where the rollercoaster begins. But there was Jess, my calm in the storm, I feel teary remembering the moments where hubby had gone back to work, and I felt awash with a million emotions and didn’t feel like I was nailing this mum thing. The meals, the massages, the help with housework, are all absolutely amazing – but the real value, is Jess. Her conversation, her hugs, her care, her strength, her humour and her understanding are what got me through those first 6 weeks. And I could not have done it without her.
I’ve almost written a short novel here, and there is SO much more I could say. In short, reach out to Jess. You won’t look back. Her genuine warmth is rare to find, and I’m so glad we did, because she’s more than a doula – she’s now our friend.

“A massive support”
“Our beautiful Jess, we don’t have words to explain how grateful we were to have you in the preparation for the birth of our first baby, during the birth and postpartum.”
-
“We didn’t have an easy labour and you stayed with us until the end firm, patient, kind, loving, and respectful, always aware of our needs, but at the same time not interrupting, giving me space and being a massive support for me and my husband all the time.
I am so so so glad we had you in our 2 days labour, but I am even more glad we had you in our difficult postpartum journey, I really don’t know how I could have made it without you, your delicious and nourish food, help with housework (that was massive) and oh yes! A very good massage, but the thing I love most was your beautiful company in such a hard and lonely period.
We couldn’t recommend enough to have Jess with you during pregnancy, birth of your child and postpartum, she is more than amazing, she is remarkable and proud to say now part of our little family. We love you millions.
Isaac, Lua and Tamy”

“Birth Matters… It matters because it is the way we all begin our lives outside of our source, our mother’s bodies. It’s the means from which we enter and feel our first impression of the wider world. For each mother, it is an event that shakes and shapes her to her innermost core. Women’s perceptions about their bodies and their babies’ capabilities will deeply be influenced by the care they receive around the time of birth.”
