Elly, postpartum Doula, offering sibling support for mothers, IVF support and care

Hi, I’m Elly — a Melbourne-based doula, mother, early childhood teacher, and someone who believes deeply in the power of the village. My journey to motherhood wasn’t easy, but it taught me resilience, strength, and the importance of support. After four years of IVF, I was blessed with my daughter, Rose, and my journey to motherhood shaped my passion for helping others.

I believe no one should navigate motherhood alone. As a doula, I’m here to provide the emotional care and practical support every mother deserves. Whether it’s postpartum care, sibling preparation, or nourishing meals, my mission is to help you feel held, supported, and cared for during this incredible journey.

At home, you’ll find me enjoying the slow life, tending to my plants, and savoring the warmth of home-cooked meals. I love nostalgia, a good quote, and—let’s be honest—I probably think I’m funnier than I actually am.

But what I know for sure? Every mother deserves to be surrounded by care, and I’m here to help make that happen.

  • a review of in home postpartum help and support

    I am incredibly grateful for the support Elly provided throughout my journey into motherhood. Once my baby boy arrived, she was a lifesaver—assisting with housework, walking my dog, and offering unwavering emotional support.

    Her practical advice on child development, self-care tips, and grounding techniques helped me stay balanced. And those 3 a.m. snacks? Delicious and nourishing, just what I needed during late-night feeds.

    Elly truly went above and beyond, making this transformative time in my life much smoother and more joyful as she empowered and supported me as I adjusted to my new role as a mother

  • Meals for pregnant mums who need support an help

    Elly and my paths crossed through our IVF journeys, and I am so grateful to have her in my corner. She has been a constant source of kindness, love, and professionalism.

    Elly introduced me to some wonderful resources that have been invaluable during this transitional time, and I find myself referring to them often. One of the most thoughtful gestures she offered was baking lactation cookies for me—such a sweet and nurturing touch that truly made a difference.

    Elly’s approachable nature makes it easy to open up and share my feelings, whether they are joyful or challenging. If we decide to expand our family in the future, I wouldn’t hesitate to utilize her services again. Thank you, Elly, for being such a supportive force in my life.

  • supporting childrens emotions

    The Sibling Toolkit has been such a valuable addition to our home. We were looking for gentle, practical ways to support our 3-year-old through the transition of becoming a big sibling — especially around sharing our attention. This toolkit truly delivered.

    It’s thoughtfully designed to help parents understand what children need during this time, and it offers simple, engaging, and meaningful activities that are easy to use in real life (even when you're sleep-deprived!). The hands-on tools really helped our child feel more secure, seen, and prepared — making the shift to big sibling a lot smoother.

    If you're navigating a growing family, I can't recommend it enough. It's not just a resource — it's a little dose of confidence and calm for everyone involved.

 FAQs

  • It might start with me heading to the kitchen to unpack a small hamper of a few groceries, a meal and some one handed snacks. While I am there, I will stick the kettle on, and stack the dishwasher while the water boils. Next we will enjoy a cuppa whilst debriefing and laughing at some of the crazy things hormones and little sleep have us thinking and doing (putting a hairbush in the fridge for example). After that you and baby take a nap and I take the dog for a for a walk, feed him and put a load of washing on. When you wake up we talk about a plan for how days will look when your partner goes back to work. We brainstorm ways to make it manageable to get your toddler to daycare, have the dog walked and have your morning coffee. Before I leave, I heat up some healing chicken soup that I bought with me and leave a little gift for self care by the bath x

  • I am a text lover, however I am also a lover of being present with my family. I will respond before or by the next working day. With both of us busy with our families, I will limit the amount of texts to 4 replies within 24 hours.

  • I am lucky that my mumma is a retired lactation consultant so I felt so supported on my breastfeeding journey. This is how I want women I work with to feel, supported by providing information, resources for them to make the feeding choice that is right for them and their baby. A supported happy mum, makes for a nurtured and happy baby.

  • Think comforting Grandmas cooking - feels like a warm hug. Made with essential ingredients for postpartum and milk supply. But most importantly for the soul.
