Hi, I’m Kelly - Adelaide’s trusted placenta encapsulation specialist and baby sleep support provider.
Supporting families in Adelaide with calm, practical care through every stage of parenthood.

Personalised, evidence-based care for a gentler start to life with your baby Since 2012, I’ve been helping families feel calmer, more confident and better supported through every stage of early parenthood.
* Sleep Support:
Gentle, responsive solutions for b
etter sleep without leaving your baby to cry it out. Practical help for tired parents navigating naps, nights and everything in between.
* Placenta Encapsulation:
Safe, respectful, professionally prepared placenta capsules to support your postnatal recovery and wellbeing.
* Doula Support:
Birth, prenatal and postnatal doula care for emotional reassurance, hands-on baby care, breastfeeding info, nutritious meals, and practical help in the early weeks. I believe every family deserves:
✔ Informed choice
✔ Respectful care
✔ Support that actually makes life easier
'I couldn't believe it! He fell asleep within 15 minutes!'
This little guy used to take 2 HOURS to fall asleep every night. His parents were exhausted, and with a new baby in the house, something had to change.
Fast forward a few weeks of gentle sleep support... Mum handled bedtime solo (dad was sick) and he was asleep in just 15 minutes! 🙌
This is what happens when you have the right tools that actually fit your family.

"We don't have anyone to watch our older kids while I'm in labour..."
This is honestly one of the most common worries I hear from expecting families. The stress of sorting out childcare during birth can really take the shine off what should be an exciting time.
You shouldn't have to choose between worrying about your children during labour, asking mates or family for a massive favour at unknown times, or having strangers care for your kids during this huge life change.
*As your sibling doula, I become your children's familiar, trusted person - someone they already know and feel comfortable with when baby decides it's time to make an appearance.
Your older children get to stay in their own home with someone who knows their routines, their favourite foods, and how they like their bedtime stories read. Plus, I keep you connected with them throughout the whole process.
*You deserve to focus on bringing your baby earthside, knowing your children are happy and well cared for.
Curious about how sibling doula support works? Send me a message - I'd love to chat about how I can help your family during this special time.

🪷 Umbilical cord keepsake 🪷
This dehydrated cord reveals the inner structure beautifully - the blood vessels are now visible through the translucent layer of Wharton's jelly, which flattens out during the drying process.
Wharton's jelly is a protective, cushiony substance that surrounds and insulates the vessels while baby is in the womb. Once dried, it becomes almost see-through, allowing us to see just how the vessels were protected and how unique each cord truly is.
No two cords look the same - some have more Wharton’s jelly, some twist tightly, others lie more loosely. It’s a powerful reminder of just how individual every birth and baby is 💛

Ever heard of a yolk sac? It’s a tiny but mighty 💪🏻 part of early pregnancy, and I was lucky enough to spot another one in a recent placenta!
The yolk sac is your baby’s first source of nourishment before the placenta takes over. It also helps form some of baby’s earliest cells. It usually disappears by the end of the first trimester, which makes finding one in a term placenta super special!
I preserved it inside bub’s umbilical cord keepsake as a unique little reminder of their incredible beginnings.
All cord keepsakes are complimentary as part of your placenta encapsulation package.

Being 'touched out' is REAL! When one of you feels overwhelmed by physical contact, respect that boundary without taking it personally. Small acts of love still count, and patience allows intimacy to return naturally. Read more relationship wisdom for new parents on my blog!

*You feel like you're just part of a system rather than a person with individual birthing needs.
*You would prefer a birth without intervention but you aren't sure of the best way to work towards one.
*You haven't had anything to do with babies before and are worried about how you will cope.
*You feel confused about the information that was given to you by the hospital and aren't sure how to decide.
I'd love to have a no obligation chat with you to see how we could work together. My aim is to have you feeling confident in your choices, clear about your options and capable of coping with the challenges that pregnancy, birth and parenthood can throw at you.
As your doula and companion I am able to provide comprehensive support in live birth outcomes, including subsequent “rainbow” pregnancies, and can serve as a labour support in all birth situations. As your birth companion, I am equally prepared to provide support prior to, during and after birth in any trimester. I am trained to provide support in situations of fatal diagnosis, carrying to term, and NICU care.
As a postnatal companion, I support you and your family through the transition after you have had your baby. Whether this is your first or fourth babe I can help with:
Practical Baby care
Light housework
Providing nutritious meals
