Let's Start With You

You’re pregnant — congratulations! But now what?

Home, hospital, MGP, private obstetrician... it can feel like an avalanche of decisions coming your way.

Maybe there’s a little voice inside you whispering, or even screaming, that you want things to be different. You want to truly understand what’s happening, feel confident in your decisions, and, most importantly, be treated with care and respect.

Perhaps you’re overwhelmed by advice, opinions, and endless articles telling you how you should birth your baby. Maybe you’re wishing Aunty Sandra would stop chiming in with her unhelpful stories. Just because you had a c-section last time doesn’t mean that’s your only option now.

You’re searching for that elusive village of support — a team that’s got your back as you embark on this life-changing journey.

If any of this resonates, you’re exactly where you need to be.

A More Formal Introduction
​

Hi, I’m Kelly

Kelly is a birth and postnatal doula in Adelaide.  This picture is of her and her four children in the country near where she grew up
As the founder of Elemental Beginnings since 2012, I’ve had the privilege of supporting families through some of the most transformative moments of their lives. I’m a trained Birth & Bereavement Doula, certified Postnatal Doula, HUG Teacher, Infant and Family Sleep Coach, and Placenta Services Provider.

​Whether it’s guiding families through birth, helping them settle into postnatal life, supporting siblings, or creating custom sleep solutions, I bring a wealth of experience and care to each family I work with. As a mum of four incredible kids, born in both hospital and home settings, I also draw on my own journey to offer heartfelt and practical support.


My passion for birth and babies stems from noticing how often families lack meaningful support, especially after the baby arrives. That’s why I’ve built my business around providing the care, knowledge, and encouragement families deserve. My approach combines research, international collaboration, personal experience, and, most importantly, feedback from the families I work with.

When you work with me, you’re not just getting a doula — you’re gaining a partner who’s deeply committed to helping you create a foundation for your growing family.
