Hi, I am Damaris. I support mothers with expert postpartum doula care, infant sleep consulting, mother’s circles and online education – nurturing recovery, rest and confident motherhood.
At Mum’s Oasis, I bring together my training as a certified postpartum doula and infant sleep consultant to provide premium, personalised care for mothers and families.
My support includes:
In-home postpartum care – hands-on, nurturing support to help you rest, recover and enjoy those precious first weeks with your newborn.
Massage (in Annandale) – massages in pregnancy and postpartum as well as after pregnancy loss.
Postpartum preparation sessions (online) – helping you plan for recovery, bonding and emotional wellbeing before baby arrives.
Infant sleep consultations (online) – evidence-based and nurtured support to bring clarity and calm to newborn and infant sleep.
Mother’s groups (online) – a safe and nurturing space for mothers to connect and learn the science and the art of growing lifelong mental health for their babies and themselves.
“Your Postpartum Oasis” online course – self-paced education to guide you through recovery, mental wellbeing, breastfeeding and bonding.
With a holistic approach, I combine evidence-based knowledge with traditional wisdom to create a calm, nurturing space for mothers to heal and thrive. Whether in your home, online or in-person at my Annandale practice, my goal is to walk alongside you – supporting your recovery, strengthening your confidence and helping you embrace motherhood with calm and joy.
Join my 12-week online mums and bubs circle inspired by the bestselling book The Nurture Revolution (Greer Kirshenbaum, PhD).
Each week includes guided practices, evidence-based insights, and supportive sharing with other mums. Perfect for mothers with babies 1–6 months.

Good postpartum support can make a world of difference. From reassurance about what's normal, to breastfeeding guidance and emotional check-ins, the right care helps families feel confident, calm and supported. If you're looking for postpartum support in Melbourne, there are a few different options available, each with its own benefits and limitations.
Interview - Caroline Bilkey (Mummy's Whispers)
If I had my way, support would be non-negotiable and, in an ideal world, would have government funding, so everyone can access the help we all deserve. We can shape our families' and therefore babies' complete outcomes (and lives!) by providing education, but above all, support in those early days. It is essential for a mother who has given birth to rest and recover.
