A few snaps from our Hobart Doula Village garden picnic, celebrating the end of a big year of growing, birthing, and raising our little ones 🌸✨🌻

Our monthly gatherings are always so beautiful, bringing together families at all stages of parenting to connect, share, and build friendships. Parenting can be isolating, so having this community to support our clients and each other is truly special.

It’s been such a joy to walk alongside these families from pregnancy, through the transformation of birth and early postpartum, and now watching them flourish into new stages of family life. The best part is seeing these connections grow and knowing we’ve created a space where families feel seen, supported, and celebrated 💛

I’m so excited to be attending this event, what a beautiful way to start the year grounded, feeling safe, connected, and held.

With everything so busy at this time of year, this January event feels like the perfect opportunity to pause, reflect, and give our nervous systems some gentle care amongst a beautiful community of women.

We all carry so much in our lives, and I’m drawn to this event for the way it focuses on nervous system resetting which I know I need to give more attention to. It’s not about fixing anything or doing something “right,” it’s about softening, receiving, and creating space to notice what we’re carrying and gently let it go. It’s a chance to reconnect with your body, your emotions, and your inner rhythm, in a safe and nurturing environment.

Krissy has created such a beautiful day for women to explore gentle practices that help regulate the nervous system, tend to our inner worlds, and clear some of the emotional and subconscious backlog we all carry.

If this feels like something you’d enjoy and are wanting to care for yourself in a way that truly nourishes, I’d love to share this space with you. It’s a small, intimate session so it can stay personal and supportive, exactly the kind of space I know we all need more of.

A few days off call, a tiny old cabin and undeniable Outlander-style Highland vibes. Celtic music on, kids in tow 🌲🎻🏔️ I have always lived in Tassie and spent lots of time in the Central Highlands as a child, so bringing my own kids back here for a night felt like a real full-circle moment. A little glimpse into the parts of me outside of regular daily life 🦌✨

A little story share from a gorgeous mama during today’s postpartum visit 🩷
What a special time today spent visiting and reflecting on the most beautiful birth and the journey to get there.
It’s always such an honour to walk with a family from pregnancy, through birth, and then witness them in this tender new chapter. Grateful beyond words. 💫 anything I share about clients is always shared with permission 🩷

There’s something about VBAC mamas… a fire you can feel the moment you meet them.
They’re determined, intuitive, done with being dismissed, and so ready to rewrite their story.
Supporting that kind of energy is honestly one of my favourite parts of this work.
Give a fiery VBAC woman the right support, the right information, and a space where she’s genuinely seen…
and she reclaims her power in the most incredible way.

There’s always that moment in pregnancy where you think…

“Maybe I do need someone who actually knows birth. Someone who will back me, steady me, and advocate for the space I want and support my partner”

That moment when you realise it’s not fair to expect your partner to hold it all together during the most transformational time of your lives.

That moment matters.

Because birth isn’t the time to wing it or hope the system will magically be gentle or you’ll be the lucky one to get a good team.

A doula changes the whole energy, the safety, the calm, the confidence, the decisions you make, and how supported your partner feels too.

If that little voice has started whispering to you… pay attention.

It usually knows something you haven’t said out loud yet.

Have you ever left a prenatal appointment and immediately opened Google in the car park because you weren’t totally sure what your OB or midwife just explained? You’re not the only one. Pregnancy comes with so many moments where you want clarification but you are only just processing the new information, you don’t want to feel annoying, the room feels rushed, or maybe you simply just didn’t know *what* to ask or how to word it.

But the truth is, you get to be part of every decision, and you don’t need a medical degree to advocate for yourself. You just need a few questions that you know you can ask, even if this is your first time learning about something.

Try asking:
 • What are the benefits?
 • What are the risks?
 • What happens if we wait a little?
 • Are there other options?

 These questions don’t make the room awkward, they simply create space for you to understand what’s happening so you can move forward and make informed decisions.

With a supportive care provider, they will be thrilled you’re taking an active interest in what is best for you and your baby.

(ps- if you do feel awkward, judged, or shamed after asking any of these questions, you might consider finding a care provider who truly wants to partner with you on this journey!) Feel free to DM me for my recommendations of providers local to Hobart.

Always in your corner,
