I’m Caroline — an experienced pregnancy, birth and postpartum doula. I’m based on the North Shore and I support women and families across Sydney.
I’m here to help you feel confident, safe and even excited about your birth experience — whatever that looks like for you. At the heart of my work is a balance of practical support and genuine connection.
Clients often tell me they value my calm, easygoing nature — and that I bring both grounded energy and a sense of humour when it’s needed most.
Every family is different, and I honour that. I offer non-judgemental support, evidence-based information, and hands-on comfort measures (if that’s something you like), all tailored to your needs and preferences — so you have the best chance of the birth experience you’re hoping for.
As a Mum I’ve given birth three times. Each was a different and unique experience, all in their own ways tough and challenging – but also incredible. This helped me understand that there is no right or best way to approach childbirth. You and your partner (if you have one) should bring your own personality, values and preferences to the occasion.
My own first birth resulted in a Caesarean, and my next two births were VBACs. I chose to work with a doula for my second and third births, so I know the value of having that kind of support beside you.
Since training with the Australian Doula College, I’ve continued to deepen my skills through additional training in Optimal Maternal Positioning (OMP), Body Ready Method and Spinning Babies. These have given me a strong understanding of body biomechanics and how to help mothers move in ways that creates more balance and space in their bodies — helping babies find optimal positions for smoother births.
I’ve also trained in acupressure, birth mapping, VBAC-specific education (including Hazel Keedle’s workshops), and trauma-informed care through “When Survivors Give Birth.”
I work comfortably across all birth settings — hospital, birth centre or home — and would love to support you wherever you feel most comfortable.
If this feels like the kind of support you’re looking for, let’s connect. We can have a chat over the phone or meet for a coffee and see if I’m the right fit for you.

"Do I Really Need This?" It’s a question so many new mums ask, often in the quiet chaos of the fourth trimester. “Do I actually need a postpartum doula? Isn’t that a bit... extra?” When your body is sore, your hormones are surging, and you’re running on fragments of sleep, it’s not about luxury, it’s about being held while you hold your baby. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, touched out, or just bone-tired, this blog is your starting point. Let’s demystify the role of a postpartum doula and help you decide if they’re the kind of support you’re craving.

Today, a doula is typically someone who acts as a hub of support, referrals and resources for a person during a major life transition, usually related to birth. Doulas have a holistic approach that considers both mental and physical well-being. Services vary significantly but can include emotional reassurance, information based on scientific evidence, and comfort techniques like massage and nourishing food. The role is not medical, and doulas cannot treat, diagnose or cure any disease.
Article - Josie Hipwell (Radiant Birth)
A doula is a trained support person who provides continuous emotional, physical, and informational support during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Doulas offer continuity of relationship-based care throughout your entire journey into motherhood. Doulas don’t drop in and out. Your doula walks alongside you, providing a steady, grounded presence as you prepare for one of life’s most transformative rites of passage.
