About Empowered Birth and Beyond
Hello, I’m Cassie, a certified Childbirth Educator, Postpartum Doula, and passionate Nourisher of Mums, based in Melbourne’s Eastern Suburbs.
I’m deeply committed to supporting mothers and birth partners as they navigate their unique journey into parenthood. Through evidence-based childbirth education, I’ll help you feel calm, confident, and informed as you prepare for birth.
As a food focussed Postpartum Doula, I absolutely love cooking deeply nourishing, healing meals that support your recovery and help you thrive in the fourth trimester. Alongside this, I offer practical in-home support and a calm, grounding presence, gently holding space for you during this powerful transformation.
They say it takes a village to raise a child, but it also takes a village to raise a mother. I would be honoured to be part of your village.
