About our Doulas
We have a growing team of qualified birth and postpartum doulas that can help bring continuity of care during this sacred rite of passage. We recognise that each family is unique, and so each doula brings their unique offering. This 1:1 care approach ensures you have ongoing care from conception through to early postpartum.
At Radiant Birth, we believe that support should feel personal, grounding, and deeply respectful. Our doulas are more than professionals – we are warm, knowledgeable companions walking beside you through the rites of birth, early parenting, and postpartum healing.
Our collective of birth and postpartum doulas work across Melbourne and regional Victoria, each bringing a unique blend of skills, experience, and heart. What unites us is our commitment to holistic, person-led care that honours your values, identity, and choices.
For those new to the doula concept, a doula is a trained, non-medical support person who offers emotional, physical, and informational care to families during pregnancy, labour, birth, and the postpartum period. Doulas walk with you – helping you feel seen, heard, and supported as you move through some of life’s most powerful transitions.
What Radiant Birth Doulas Do
During Pregnancy
We get to know you – your hopes, concerns, your body, and your story. We offer tailored education and preparation sessions, help you explore your birth preferences, and ensure you feel informed and supported before labour begins. You will have the opportunity to prepare for birth and for postpartum and to map out a path that feels right for you.
During Birth
Your doula is with you continuously throughout labour – whether you’re birthing at home, in hospital, or another setting. We provide hands-on comfort techniques, emotional encouragement, advocacy when needed, and help create a space that feels calm and safe. We are your steady presence.
During Postpartum
Our postpartum doulas offer preparation and then in-home support to help you rest, recover, and find rhythm. We might bring nourishing food, offer guidance, care for your baby while you nap, or simply listen. Every visit is shaped around your needs.
