Welcome....I am so glad you found me! Let me tell you a little more about what I do. As a Birth Doula in Byron Bay I provide ongoing support during your pregnancy, birth and in the early stages of motherhood.
I offer in person Doula support as well as Virtual birth support so you can work with me no matter where you are based.
About Me
My name is Anna, I am a qualified Doula in Byron Bay, Certified Hypnobirthing Practitioner and mama of 3 beautiful boys. I had a traumatic 1st birth, which I didn't prepare for and had no support, so I decided that my 2nd birth had to be different. Working with my doula made me feel so calm, reassured and even excited for birth! My birth was incredible! Intense, but magical! I felt empowered and decided I wanted to help couples feel exactly like that!
I've been a doula for nearly 10 years and have extensive experience in supporting home births, free births, birth centers as well as hospitals births. I offer my services from Ballina, Tweed Heads to the Gold Coast including Byron Bay Hinterland, Mullumbimby and Lismore.

Partner Education & Support
Your partner (if you have one) is just as important as you during the birth preparation. We will practice lots of things they can do to support you during birth and together we'll make a cheat sheet which will be really helpful during labour. You'll feel calm and confident after attending my small Group Hypnobirthing Birth Preparation Class, which is part of your package.
During birth, I’m here to support your partner too—whether they need someone to talk to, a chance to take a break, or help understanding their options if plans change.
Bookings & Availability
Who would benefit from a Birth Doula
No matter if you are a first time parent or hoping for a positive and perhaps different birth outcome this time, you'll benefit from having a Doula at your Birth. I always recommend working with a Doula if you feel anxious about giving birth and especially if you had a traumatic birth experience in the past. As your Doula I will empower you to make the right choices and feel confident in your own birthing skills. I work for you, not for the hospital, your OB, midwife or other medical staff. I am deeply passionate about helping you experience a positive outcome, no matter how your birth unfolds.
We feel excited and empowered about the birth
'Working with Anna from Byron Babymoon was the best decision we made to help prepare us for birthing our daughter. Anna has been an invaluable support for both husband and I in the lead up to birth, helping us become informed, and to feel excited and empowered about the birth. Anna’s support during the almost 2 day labour gave us the space to welcome in our baby without the stress of ensuring our birth plan was honoured by the specialists. Anna helped create a birthing space and experience that we will cherish and feel so blessed to have had. I now recommend Anna to all I know who are also looking to have an empowered birth.'- Lynda and Guy Lawrence, 1st time parents, Lismore Hospital
My In Person Doula Support
I offer a free first meet and greet with you so that you can get to know me and we can both see if we are a good fit for each other. We'll then meet a few times before your birth, depending on which package you choose.
Birth Preparation
During Birth
From 38 weeks onwards, I’m on call for you 24/7. Once you’re in established labour, I’ll join you at home to offer emotional and physical support to you and your partner. Alongside your partner, I’ll offer reassurance, encouragement and ways to help you cope with labour, including massage, rebozo, active birth positions, acupressure and breathing techniques. Together, we’ll find what feels right for you in each moment. I’ll accompany you to your chosen birth location and stay until around an hour after your baby is born. Throughout labour, I’ll support you to cope with the intensity of your contractions and stay in the present moment. I'll help you make informed choices and communicate your wishes, so you feel heard, supported and respected, however your birth unfolds.
Post-Partum
After your birth I will visit you at home to support you in the early weeks of motherhood. I provide support with anything you may need during your post partum period. This might include birth debrief, breastfeeding and sleep support, cleaning, cooking, holding you, and of course, if you like, your baby so you can have a shower...

My Doula Packages
Birth is deeply personal, and the support you need will be too.
With nearly ten years of experience as a doula, I bring a calm, steady presence and a deep trust in your ability to find your own way. Whether this is your first baby or you’ve walked this path before, we’ll take time to get to know each other and explore what you need to feel supported. I offer in person and virtual / phone support so you can work with me whether you are based in the Byron Bay & Gold Coast areas or world-wide.
We begin with a free, relaxed chat—a chance to connect, ask questions and get a feel for whether I’m the right doula for you.
My support includes:
-
Time to prepare together. My in-person doula support includes three months of one-to-one care through my Full Circle Birth Mentorship. This is time for us to get to know each other, reframe and clear any limiting beliefs and worries about birth and help you feel really confident and excited about your journey. You'll feel confident in using natural pain coping techniques for birth and prepare your body and mind to have the best possible chances of having a natural birth. I'll also visit you in person so that you and your partner can get to know me really well. You an also add my evidence based Hypnobirthing Course to your doula package.

-
Care after your baby arrives. A one- to two-hour postnatal visit, shaped around what you need that day. We might talk through your birth, explore feeding or sleep questions, or I might cook, tidy up or hold your baby while you shower. Sometimes, what’s needed most is someone who will listen with warmth and without judgement.
Payment plans are available, and returning doula clients receive a 10% discount.
Doula Support + Group Hypnobirthing Course
If you’d like birth preparation alongside other expecting parents, you can combine my doula support with my small Group Hypnobirthing Course in the Byron Bay Hinterland.
You’ll receive all the support described above, plus a weekend retreat exploring hypnobirthing and nervous system rest, with time to slow down and connect with your baby and each other.
The Doula & Hypnobirthing Package is perfect of couples who haven't attended any birth classes. It's also great for manas hoping for a different birth experience this time and those carrying feelings from a previous birth that you’d like space to talk through.
After our initial chat, I’ll send you a overview of the options and fees, so you can take your time deciding what feels right for you.
We’ll begin with a free, relaxed chat to get to know each other. Afterwards, I’ll send you the details of the support we’ve discussed, so you can find the best option for you and take your time deciding

Birth is the most incredible and expansive experience and it is the gateway to a new chapter in your life. As Pam England (Author of Birthing from Within) said so beautifully ‘who you are in labor and as a mother is merely an extension of who you are in the rest of your life.
So if you want to be present and strong in birth, you need to practice that way of BEING in your everyday life.’
Being calm and grounded during birth and motherhood comes from a regular practice of quiet your mind and your body.
But it also stems from the inner work and releasing patterns and stories from the past that no longer serve us so that we can stay in the present moment.
Full Circle Doula is everything you need to know for an intuitive birth and innate motherhood, and so much more.
In Full Circle doula you:
feel fully supported and heard during your pregnancy so you can flow through birth with a calm nervous system
have dedicated time and guidance to work through through any fears or concerns
develop an intuitive mindset that empowers you to trust your gut feeling during birth and beyond
learn how to calm your body and mind so that you can be fully present in birth and motherhood
put together a tool kit that empowers you to deal with any unexpected situation during birth
I am so so excited for you to discover your full potential and feel confident about your journey ahead!
Full Circle Doula guides you to create a birth experience that empowers and grounds you as the intuitive mother you’re meant to be.
Here’s why clients love working with me:
‘‘Words can’t really convey how invaluable it was to have Anna as our support. I felt very safe and comfortable with her. She knew what I needed. She held space when I lost hope and when I rallied. I really believe it was critical to have her support and my partner and I both said we would have paid 20 times the amount!’ Laksmi
‘We didn’t know we needed Anna till we found her. She supported us before the birth with her wealth of knowledge and experience, greatly pushing us at ease in those finals weeks where both anxiety and excitement was building. Highly recommend working with Anna!’ Priscilla
‘We loved loved loved having you be part of our daughter’s birth story from the other side of the world. You really did give us the confidence to advocate for ourselves and feel confident in our choices. We are still very grateful to you and think of you as our Mary Poppins from the other side of the world’ Juleann

What Clients say about working with me...
Anna gave my husband and I strength, reassurance and guidance
- Amanda and Lawrence, Baby #1'We didn’t know we needed Anna as our Doula till we met her. She supported us before the birth with her wealth of knowledge and great experience. She put us at more ease in those final weeks where both anxiety and excitement were building. At 5am she arrived during my labour at our home and from the get go was always punctual and someone we knew we could rely on ( often a fleeting quality in the Byron Shire).
Anna gave my husband and I strength, reassurance and guidance during an intense labour and birth experience. She was like an guardian angel walking me from the car to the hospital while I was having pushing contractions, keeping me so calm and focused.
Highly recommend her service as a birthing support person and educator!
My husband felt so supported and was able to be 100% present
- Sarah and Chris, Baby #3'By booking Anna as my Doula, I received so much more than support through pregnancy, labour and postpartum. (Which was amazing!)
I experienced the gift of being truly vulnerable, open hearted and weak and still being loved, held and supported.
Anna’s love of birth carried me through the end of pregnancy when I was feeling so sick I was losing sight of the magic. During labour she held our whole family. My 2 children where at the birth which Anna made possible by taking time bonding with them before the birth and supporting them the whole time.
My husband felt so supported and was able to be 100% present with me because he knew Anna was looking after everything else including feeding him while we was stuck in the pool massaging my back!
After birth her gentle presence made me feel so safe, she came and played with our kids so we could rest, she helped around the house and just loved us up even more.
I wish I had Anna at all of my births she is absolutely magic.'
All families should have Anna as their doula
- Priscilla and Jo, Baby #2"My husband and I was very traumatized after our first child birth. As a nurse I thought I knew everything I needed to make a beautiful natural birth happen, I was totally wrong!! Having Anna around us during pregnancy was very important to explore all our fears, doubts and rights (I say “our” because she works with the whole family!!). During labour she was there, actually she helped me catch my baby at the front door of the hospital as my labor was so fast I didn’t have time to get in!!! After all our sessions of empowerment and surrender I knew we could do it anywhere! Definitely all families should have Anna as their doula, it makes the uniqueness of birthing wonderful and full of love!!!'
We both feel more comfortable and confident
- Kara & Alaine, Byron Bay, Baby #1"I just want to say thank you for your beautiful birth preparation class! We both feel more comfortable and confident for what is about to happen. We are so grateful we had the opportunity to even go to your class! Thank you so much x'.
Anna helped create a birthing space and experience that we will cherish
- Lynda and Guy, Baby #1'Working with Anna from Byron Babymoon was the best decision we made to help prepare us for birthing our daughter. Anna has been an invaluable support for both husband and I in the lead up to, helping us get informed, excited and feel empowered about the birth.
