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 'Full Circle Doula' Containers.

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 over 6.5 years and have extensive experience in supporting home births, free births, birth centers as well as hospitals births. I offer my services from Ballina to Tweed Heads including Byron Bay Hinterland, Mullumbimby and Lismore.

You can read a little bit more about my background here.

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.

Bookings & Availability

My Doula calendar for in person support in 2024 is full but please contact me with your estimated due date to double check. It's never too early in your pregnancy to contact me and I would absolutely love to hear from you & find out if we are a good match for each other. I currently have 2 spots left for 'Full Circle Doula' 3 months mentorship in 2024.

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

Preparing you for Birth with my Positive Birth Preparation Workshop or Hypnobirthing Course is an important step in getting you mentally & physically ready and excited for your journey ahead. I will help you identify your ideal birth preferences & location. I can help you write a 'Birth Plan'. And we will explore how you can navigate through the maternity care system and what choices & rights you have.

During Birth

I am on call and available 24/7 from 38 weeks onwards. I'll come to your house during established / active labour to support you and your partner physically and emotionally during birth. Alongside your partner, I will offer you pain coping techniques such as massage, rebozo, active birth postures, acupressure, deep breathing and encouragement. I will accompany you to your birth location and will support you and your partner until about 1 hour after your baby is born. During labour I will help you make informed choices and ensure that your birth wishes are being respected.

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...

Full Circle Doula - 3 months Mentorship: AUD $1380

Full Circle Doula is where you create a deeply empowering birth experience that transforms you into the intuitive mother you want to be.  

This 3 months container is right for you if:

you want a fully present, calm birth experience, guided by your intuition and inner wisdom

you are ready to become the warrior woman and trust yourself to birth your baby without anyone telling you how to do it

you believe birth is so much more than just a physical experience but a holistic journey of emotional, mental and spiritual change to become the deeply connected mother you want to be  

you are ready to release your self doubts about your ability to have a positive and peaceful birth experience 

You know it is possible to have a beautiful birth experience as you can see how other mums feel empowered after their birth experience and transform into the calm mother you want to be.  

You desire to have those experiences but you don’t know how to get there and sometimes doubt if it’s possible for you.

  Let’s change that!   

As a Full Circle Doula client:  

you will leave with the confidence to trust yourself to birth your baby where and how you desire  

you can fully step into your power and have a beautiful birth outcome no matter how it unfolds

  you know how to stay calm during birth which is the foundation for a calm mother - child relationship 

you’ll be aware of your personality traits that might stop from having your dream birth and you’ll know how to surrender to what’s surfacing   

you and your partner will feel confident to speak up if things don’t go to plan    

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  

 There is part of you that lights up and makes you feel grounded and supported already, when thinking about closely working with me in preparation for your birth.

Imagine how confident you'll feel after 3 months one-on-one guidance from me. Confident to trust yourself and your ability to birth your baby.

So let’s look at everything that’s included in Full Circle Doula:  

My full focus on YOU in our 3 months 1:1 container   

Fortnightly 1 hour Zoom mentorship sessions (total of 6)

Personalised Guided Relaxation Audios for you
