Maddy the Doula
My Story
Hi, I’m Maddy! I’m passionate about transforming the way women experience birth and postpartum in today’s world. I love getting to know women and their families, becoming a trusted part of their support system, and making a meaningful impact on their journey into motherhood.
As a mum of three, I understand the wonders and challenges of this special time. I can draw on my range of personal experiences during pregnancy, birth and postpartum to bring increased compassion and understanding with current knowledge about options available to you.
Alongside my role as a Registered Nurse which I am currently on leave from, I run my doula business with a deep commitment to helping women feel powerful, respected, and nurtured during birth and beyond. My experience in healthcare has allowed me to master my ability to navigate the medical system and ask the right questions to ensure that you are able to explore all the options available with relevant and appropriate information provided. I am confident to advocate for you and amplify your voice if you are not being heard. I will support you to navigate the benefits, risks and alternatives of any interventions that are offered to you so that you can make the best choice for you and your baby according to your individual needs and preferences.
My goal is to walk alongside you through this season, guiding you to trust your intuition and feel informed and excited about your options while keeping you at the centre of all decisions. Together, we’ll map out your birth preferences with the goal for you to feel safe and supported through labour, and ensure a restful, nourishing postpartum period so you can recover with ease and bond with your baby.
I’d love to chat and explore how I can best support you. I’d love you to check out my Instagram to get a sense of who I am, and if you’re interested in my services, send me a message! We can arrange a complimentary, no-obligation chat—whether on the phone or over coffee—to see if we’re the right fit for each other. I can’t wait to meet you!

My Mission
To guide and support women through the transformative journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with compassionate care, informed guidance, and unwavering advocacy.
I am dedicated to creating a nurturing and respectful space where every mother feels confident, powerful, and connected to her intuition, ensuring a birth and motherhood experience that is as joyful and fulfilling as it is safe and supported.
