About Me

Welcome to Doula Matters! 

I'm Kelly, a dedicated and experienced Perth based doula.

Since 2016, I’ve had the privilege of supporting women and their families during one of life’s most transformative journeys—pregnancy and childbirth.
 
As a proud mother of six and grandmother to seventeen, I deeply understand the value of nurturing and guidance, during these precious moments. My heart lies in reaching women everywhere, particularly those in remote areas, ensuring that no one feels isolated or unsupported.
 
Through my mentorship at the esteemed Vicki Hobbs Doula Training Academy and active participation in Doula Network Australia, I dedicate myself to helping mothers recognize their innate strength and advocate for their needs.
 
My mission is to foster a safe, empowering, and personalized birth experience, tailored to each family's unique story.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey. Together, we’ll embrace the power, beauty, and strength of childbirth.
