My name is Carolyn and I'm a Birth and Postpartum Doula. I live in Gisborne, Victoria, within the beautiful Macedon Ranges, with my husband and 4 children. I completed my Birth & Postpartum Doula training with the Australian Doula College in 2023.
I have had an extensive career as a registered nurse working in neonatal ICU and special care nurseries for over 19 years. I have a wealth of experience with newborns, parents and the family unit. I wanted a change from the clinical world and to focus on more emotional, intuitive support, which is what drew me to Doula work. I'm passionate about helping parents feel confident, informed, and prepared for everything from pregnancy, birth, babies and beyond.
My aim is to help you feel supported and heard during your experience - no matter what your birth looks like. It is an honour to be invited into a woman's birth space and I believe the way you are made to feel in this momentous transition is crucial to your overall wellbeing and how you perceive your birth experience. I will support you through unbiased education, guidance, respect for your choices and simply holding space for you to navigate this special time. We will ensure your choices are identified for any turn your birth may take, so that you can birth in confidence and have control over your birth decisions every step of the way.
I want you to feel safe, strong, excited and empowered to enter birth and postpartum - every woman deserves a positive birth experience!
