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 Little Bit About Me
-
Let me fill your cup
Allow me to hold you while you hold your baby and growing family. Whether this is by debriefing your birth, validated your wild emotions, bringing you comforting meals, ticking off chores from your to do list, pet care or supporting siblings.
-
What perspectives do I bring?
My personal experience undergoing four years of fertility treatments has given me a deep understanding of the anxieties and worries that can create overstimulation during pregnancy and postpartum.
My aim is to ease some of this through my offerings along with informational support or referrals to specialised professionals such as Osteos, Private Midwife’s, Lactations Consultants, sleep consultants, counselors etc

What is my super power?
As an Early Childhood Teacher I also have a toolbox of resources and strategies to support siblings as their family grows and changes. Young children thrive off predictability and consistency. A newborn can impact these comforts for siblings. I am able to work with you during pregnancy to prepare siblings for the arrival of your baby, through play and child lead experiences.
I can also offer support to siblings during postpartum giving you guilt free time with baby or care for baby while you spend quality time with your older children

What you can expect from me?
My approach is to be led by you, and what you need from one visit might be different to the next. I am here to listen and facilitate a positive pregnancy and postpartum journey for you.
‘A Mothers love is infinite; her energy is not. Every Mother deserves a Doula’.
