Postnatal Support In Your Home
As a qualified Postnatal Doula I have the unique privilege of sharing the journey your family takes when your baby is born.
I provide high quality, one-to-one support to only two families each month so you can be assured I am available to fulfil my commitment to you. Travel in my general area is included in your package. If you live outside these areas, you can contact me and we will discuss the options available to you.
My role is to provide you with non-judgmental support and companionship, assistance with newborn care and family adjustment, meal preparation and light household tasks. I can offer evidence-based information on infant feeding, emotional and physical recovery from birth, infant soothing and coping skills for new parents and can make appropriate referrals where necessary. Making decisions about where the baby will sleep, how to calm a crying baby, learning how to breastfeed, dealing with unexpected events - all of these are things that I can help you with. I do not take over your parenting role, but walk alongside you with an extra pair of experienced hands to support, encourage, empower and provide you with knowledge.

SUPPORT AFTER A CAESAREAN
Kelly helped me within a few days of me coming home. The service that she provided allowed me to get the rest I needed after having my third c-section and two younger children.

WELCOME BABY- $200
Let's get you and baby settled in with a once-off visit at your home. Welcome Baby visits are usually 2-4 hours long.
Use this time to get some rest, learn practical baby care or get extra help with breastfeeding.
Also perfect for a babyshower or corporate gift for an expectant family.
THE BENEFITS OF A POSTNATAL DOULA
Research tells us that women who have support from a Postnatal Doula have:
- Greater breastfeeding success
- Greater self-confidence
- Less postnatal depression
- Greater feelings of support for and from their partner, which can have a significant impact on their partner's own experience
- Lower incidence of abuse than those who do not have a doula
- Timely referrals to appropriate professionals and support groups
- More understanding on what to expect from a newborn
- Increased baby-soothing skills
- Greater sense of bonding and communication with their newborn
- Better coping skills
Every family can benefit from the support and encouragement I offer
during the fourth trimester.
Kelly has been awesome and a big help to make things so much easier for me while I settle into being a mum of two.
Samantha - Adelaide
Our work together starts with an antenatal consultation. Together we will discuss how you can achieve the vision you have for your family once baby arrives. We will assess your needs and desires for after baby's birth, define our expectations of one another and begin to work on your 'Babymoon Plan'.
For pricing and details of all my postnatal packages, please scroll down. I will always work with you to develop a care plan that is unique to your family and situation. Postnatal Doula packages also make a fantastic and practical baby shower gift for a loved one.
Please note; I do not offer any medical advice or perform any medical or clinical procedures, but instead can offer parents referrals to appropriate resources, studies and published books.
For my own health, I do not work with families who smoke in their home.
