About Us

Mothers that are pregnant, labouring or just little ones of their own are so special and amazing! I have such a passion to support these women and make the journey easier if I can help in any way. I love to educate, I love to help people and I love to help mums, dads and babies especially. I have three beautiful children of my own with three very different birth experiences, including an induction, hospital water birth and home water birth. I absolutely love birth and supporting women in these times and believe that doulas are such a fantastic support for the parents in so many ways and can really contribute to the mother having a positive birth experience! It is not just about the delivery of her baby for a mum, it is about her journey through birth as well.

I want to help women be educated, empowered and encouraged during their own birth to trust their body and come away from the experience feeling they were in control and the ones making informed decisions, so it is a positive experience, no matter what happens. Our bodies are truly incredible and have been specifically designed and created for create, grow and birth this miracle of life. No matter how you choose to birth, it is ultimately your choice and I will support you the best that I can! Being a doula for any couple is an absolute honour and priviledge.

Who are we?

Australian Doulas is a group of like-minded doulas who work within a Code of Practice to deliver quality support to women and their families.

Australian Doulas provides doula training specifically tailored to the needs of Western Australian women. Australian Doulas provide ongoing support to their members in the form of mentoring and opportunities for further professional development.

Our History

Australian Doulas was formed in 2004 by Lisa Chalmers.

Before moving to Perth, Lisa was a recognised doula in London and was fortunate enough to train with some of the world’s most renowned obstetric and birthing professionals, including Michel Odent, Sheila Kitzinger and Jean Sutton. Lisa was co-director of Mothers Care Doulas and a founding committee member of Doula UK.

Lisa says, “When I arrived in Perth, I quickly realised that I really missed the network of supportive doulas we had in Doula UK so I strove to create something similar.”

Australian Doulas' first doula training was held in 2004.


 

Our Services

We are certified doulas trained to support women on an emotional and practical basis and to interact sensitively with all those involved with pregnancy, birth and the early postnatal period.

Birth Doulas

The role of the birth doula is that of a professional, non-medical birth companion, able to provide:

 

    • continuity of care;

 

    • reassurance and encouragement;

 

    • breathing and relaxation techniques;

 

    • massage;

 

    • help with labour and birth position; and

 

    • support for the partner.



Our overall aim as birth doulas is to help the mother experience a more positive labour and birth.

A birth doula package will generally consist of two to three antenatal visits, attendance during labour and birth, email and telephone contact, on call from 38 weeks, and one or two postnatal visits.

Postnatal Doulas

The role of the postnatal doula is mostly nurturing and can involve:

 

    • support during the transitional period from hospital to home;

 

    • reassuring and supporting the mother;

 

    • help with establishing feeding (breast/bottle);

 

    • care for older siblings, light housework;

 

    • preparing nutritious meals.



Our overall aim as postnatal doulas is to help mothers and babies get off to the best possible start.

Birth and Postnatal Doulas

Some doulas are trained to provide both birth and postnatal doula services. Others can provide one or the other and team with another doula to meet your needs.

Use our search features to find a doula to suit your needs - within Australia or outside of Australia.
