Katie Allen Postpartum Doula

06/01/2026

It’s the first week of 2026 and I’ve slowly eased back into work with just one client and two visits this week. My first visit was Monday and it was good to be back. To see mum, see how much her babies have grown and to spend time with big brother.

The highlight of the visit was helping big brother who was wanting to mix things with an old fashioned mixer, so we made a yummy snack that mum and dad could have for dessert and breakfast the next morning. The result my simple pancake recipe with blueberries, that was shared with me by my amazing friend Adelaide many years ago.

Sibling support and making quick meals on my feet is my special skill set. I love both parts of postpartum care and know how much this reduces the load on parents. So if you are pregnant, or have a baby under one and are looking for postpartum support like this, send me a DM and let’s see how I can support you and your family this year.

Merry Christmas from my family to yours. This year we have travelled to Melbourne and enjoyed time with family. We’ve celebrated birthdays and Christmas and made lots of core memories.

I hope that you have had a lovely Christmas break and have had a chance to step back and enjoy the joy and happiness that you have created. Here is to the mums.

Throwback to 7 years ago when we were walking out of the hospital and to the comfort and familiarity of home with Master J after his very quick birth earlier that morning.

Today this boy turns 7. This year he has been huge for Master J. He finished prep, made some lovely friends, learnt so much, dazzled everyone with his Transformer knowledge and his kind and emphatic heart. Master J thank you for always teaching us.

Happy birthday!

One year between photos and we have finally seen the conclusion of Wicked! Last year I took Miss S to see the first instalment, but she hadn’t seen the musical. She patiently waited for a year and on Wednesday we finally saw Wicked For Good. It was worth the wait.

As a lifelong fan on The Wizard of Oz and Wicked, it ticked all the boxes. I had been told to take tissues, and I was fine until I saw the scene where the rainbow 🌈 appeared and then the tears flowed.

The movie was a great chance for Miss S and I to talk about what happens when you don’t speak for yourself and share your views, than other people will. And how they may say things that aren’t your voice. We agreed that we need to be like Elphaba and stand up, speak up and fight for what we believe is right even if we are by ourselves. Powerful reminders for a young lady who is nearly 13 and her mum who is 41.

It was a lovely day together and a reminder that there is always people in our lives who change us for good. So here is to us all being like Elphie and sharing our voices!

Looking for an elf in the shelf that comes through the year? Never fear Katie the Postpartum Doula is here!

My overnight postpartum care does all of these things. I’m the magic fairy that resets the house for you. Prepares breakfast or dinner for the next day, folds washing and tidies the kitchen.

If your baby needs to be held I do that too. I take care of the baby and will bring them to you for a feed if you are breastfeeding. Sit up and be with you whilst you feed so you don’t feel like the only person awake in the world. And am there to make life easier and so you can SLEEP 💤

Don’t just dream about this for Christmas, have it all year round. I support families in the first year of your babies life so if nights are hard for you and bub is under 1 reach out and let’s get you some rest.

To find out more DM me overnight care and let’s start the conversation on how I can help you!

Nothing gets me out of bed faster than knowing it is the last day of school for the year. It’s been a huge year. We have had all three kids start at new schools at some point and each of them has thrived.

I’m looking forward to not rushing in the morning, well not as many, sleep ins, family time and no therapy for Master J until February next year. We are so proud of all three kids and how far they have individually grown this year. I think I’ve cried more on Friday than I did on Master J’s first day at school.

Here is to the holidays and taking things slow. Let me know how you feel about the end of the school year. Are you looking forward to them or dreading them?

In Queensland it is the last two weeks of term, and for us the last few days before holidays! But guess what else happens this week, Friday is the last super moon of 2025. What a fun combination that is of emotions and energy.

So let’s all have a laugh and tell me how it is the last few weeks of school in your house without saying that. I’ll share my story in the comments.
