Love Through Loss Doula

Here at Feels Pilates we are an all inclusive Pilates Studio. With a large clientele of mothers, pre & post natal, we strive to be with mothers throughout their whole journey from conception to high school and beyond.

Radiant Birth is a heart-led doula collective based in Melbourne, offering personalised, compassionate care through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond. Owned and led by Josie Hipwell, a full spectrum doula, Radiant Birth supports families through life’s biggest transitions with practical guidance, emotional support, and deep respect for each person’s unique journey. Our support includes birth and postpartum education and in person doula support in birth and postpartum.

At Radiant Birth, we believe in safe, supported, and empowered care. Whether you’re preparing for your first birth or navigating postpartum after baby number three, our doulas walk alongside you with warmth, knowledge, and presence. We offer birth and postpartum doula support, birth education, circles, planning sessions, and resources that honour your intuition while grounding you in evidence-based care.

We know birth and parenting don’t look one way – so our support doesn’t either. From hospital births to homebirths, from VBAC to caesarean, from joyful to complex experiences – we’re here to meet you where you are, hold space, and help you feel confident, calm, and deeply seen. Let us help you build your village. Your story matters here.

Hi, I’m Sam – Birth & postpartum doula and childbirth educator providing in-person support to new and expecting families.

It was my own experiences with pregnancy, birth and postpartum that stirred in me a deep passion for supporting families on all stages through this journey. As a birth doula, I walk with you as you get ready for the birth of your baby, helping you to feel supported and empowered to make informed decisions and prepare for a calm and peaceful birth, including full support during labour at home or in hospital

As a postpartum doula, I hold deep respect for new mothers and the sacred journey that is Matrescence. I provide nurturing care to replenish and nourish the new mother as she recovers from childbirth and transitions into life with her new baby. My postpartum services include freshly cooked meals, breastfeeding support and newborn care. I help new mums, dads and families as they prepare for and adjust to life with a newborn by providing informational, physical and emotional care – taking the load off, so that the beautiful chaos of postpartum can be a smooth and fulfilling experience.

I understand that each family is unique and has different needs, so my services are designed to be flexible and to support families wherever they’re at, in the best way that will enrich their postpartum journey.
