Your Doula

Imagine feeling safe, supported, and powerful whilst preparing your journey into parenthood

Paola Doula Brisbane

Certified, experienced and nurturing birth & postpartum doula

I’m a certified and experienced birth & postpartum doula situated in the Redlands area of Brisbane.

About Me

I run my own Birth & Beyond Doula Services business and really love reminding women of their own innate power and ancient wisdom in labour and birth. I am a wife, and mum to two healthy, smart and wonderful children.

My Sessions

Each session is focussed on getting to know and understand you and your partner, whilst diving into the information and support that both you and your partner want and need.

My Space

I have a warm and welcoming space to nurture and nourish you. Whilst most of my sessions are done in the comfort of your own home, I do offer pregnancy massage in my home studio.

My Experience

I am a birth and postpartum Doula with experience in births at home, in birth centres and hospital births. I support new parents as you navigate unchartered waters, as well as VBAC families to achieve a healing, calm, powerful and beautiful birth.

A doula doesn't just assist in birthing a baby; she assists in birthing a mother, a family, and a new chapter of life.

How a doula supports partners

Birth and postpartum doulas play an essential role in supporting dads or partners throughout the journey of pregnancy, labour, birth and the postpartum period.

Involving dads and partners in birth preparation with a doula offers a transformative experience that enhances both the birthing process and the overall family bond.

By partnering with a doula, dads and partners gain invaluable knowledge about the childbirth journey, learning comfort techniques, communication skills, and ways to provide emotional support during labour.

The doula’s guidance empowers dads and partners to actively engage in the birth, ensuring a united and confident approach. Through this collaborative preparation, a deeper sense of connection is fostered between parents, strengthening their ability to navigate challenges together.

The presence of a doula ensures that dads and partners feel well-prepared and integral to the birthing process, contributing to a positive, harmonious, and memorable childbirth experience for the entire family.

I would definitely not have had the birth experience I hoped for if it wasn’t for Paola advocating for me every step of the way while in hospital. She gave me and my husband so much peace of mind throughout the entire birthing process. She has the most calming nature, has heaps of experience and knowledge and goes above and beyond to help in any way she can, does not matter the time or extend. I would 100% recommend her to anyone. We are so blessed that our paths crossed and are forever thankful for your care and love.

Paola was such an amazing support throughout my pregnancy. She was very knowledgeable and shared this with me through my experience, she is always available for any questions that may need answering and very attentive to your needs, her afterbirth care for you and your new family is next to none. Absolutely amazing.

I cannot recommend Paola's Doula Services enough! I wish I had her there with my first birth. I was determined to have a much better birth experience with our second baby and Paola made that possible. And when we found out baby was breech, Paola worked her magic with her knowledge and exercises to help baby turn. We could not have done this without Paola. Because of her, I have an empowering birth story to tell.

Paola holds such a special place in our hearts when we look back on the pregnancies and birth of our two girls. Thankyou to Paola, our girls were born in the most beautiful and calming environment. From early on in our pregnancies to midwife appointments, birth and then even postpartum, Paola was always there to guide us and teach us everything we need to know about an empowering and calm birth. We will never forget our birthing experiences and will be forever grateful for Paola and all she did for us.

Paola was my Doula for the birth of my second baby and my postpartum doula and she was amazing- I wish I had met Paola before the birth of my first bub. Paola was so supportive of me and my family and our plans for a home birth. She worked with my team of midwives, my partner and my daughter (2yo), leading up to and the day of the birth of our son. She was there for me every week for 6 or so weeks after our son's birth and helped us so much making the transition from 1 to 2 children. There is so much to navigate, and Paola is so caring and thoughtful and assisted me with whatever I needed. Thank you so much Paola! The home birth of our son with our team surrounding us and supporting me will be a memory I will never forget.

If a Doula were a drug, it would be unethical not to use it!
