 hey there

I’m Natalia

Birth doula, registered nurse and prenatal yoga teacher! I’ve been passionate about health and  fitness my whole life. I was introduced to yoga at the age of 18, where I had the opportunity to attend a yoga retreat. It was a magical experience that ignited a spark in my soul. From that time on I wanted to learn everything about movement, mindfulness and meditation. Whilst I developed a passion for yoga, I also developed a keen interest in health and helping others. To pursue these interests I enrolled in a Bachelor of Nursing and graduated from the University of Wollongong, Australia, and went on to complete my Masters of Nursing in Advanced Practice. In 2020 I had the opportunity to nurse overseas in Los Angeles where I worked in Labour and Delivery, it was here that I fell in love with the birthing world. Since moving home to Sydney, Australia I completed my doula training through Dona International and have supported women through pregnancy, birth and postpartum. As your doula I believe in continuity of care holding you as you transition into motherhood.

POSTPARTUM DOULA SUPPORT

There is a quiet transformation in the early postpartum days that asks to be met with slowness, compassion and gentle care. My 3-hour in-home sessions are designed to hold you in that space — a calm, unhurried container where you are given permission to soften into your body, rest without expectation, and be nourished in simple, meaningful ways.

What I offer in each session

  • Deep rest: I protect and create time for uninterrupted rest, guiding gentle relaxation techniques and helping you sink into calm so your body can recover.

  • Breastfeeding support: Practical, compassionate guidance tailored to your feeding goals — positioning, latch support, establishing feeding rhythms, and troubleshooting while prioritising your comfort and confidence.

  • Healing meals: Thoughtfully prepared, nutrient-dense meals that support recovery, lactation and energy levels. Meals are simple, warm and easy to digest.

  • Nourishing teas: Custom blends chosen to soothe, support milk supply and aid recovery, offered alongside a quiet ritual to slow the breath and the day.

    As your postpartum doula my role is to honour your pace, protect your rest, and ensure that you feel supported not just in what you do, but in how you are held.

Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers — strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength
