Women supporting women during birth is the most ancient model of care across pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (2017) explains in detail how continuity of care is one of the most effective supports in the birthing room that increases natural birth rates and greatly improves maternal satisfaction.
A doula is a trained labour assistant employed directly by your family.
Every doula will provide education, care and support across pregnancy, labour, birth and postpartum.
Most importantly by finding the right doula for your family it will bring a sense of safety and joy to this transformative rite of passage.
Childbirth is an intense life experience to be celebrated.
The She Births® Doula Service offers your family a team of She Births® doulas to help you in the best way, based upon your budget, needs and personality.
The unique She Births® philosophy and methodology of holistic, evidence based and compassionate care will be a key investment for your family.
As a doula over 20 years I have found that protocols and interventions have only intensified making it harder for families to achieve a more natural and beautiful birth.
This is the reason why I want every woman to have a doula by her side. To help her make critical decisions. To help her partners hold space. To help make the process a beautiful one, no matter what unfolds. To help reduce trauma.

Our She Births® Doulas are among the best in the field. We have carefully selected each of them for their expertise, empathy, and dedication. Each doula undergoes a rigorous training process, ensuring they uphold the highest standards of care, so you can feel confident you’re receiving the best possible support for your journey.
Every family is unique, and our doulas respect and honor your individual needs, preferences, and beliefs. She Births® doulas take time to understand your vision, goals, and values, providing a personalised approach that genuinely supports your family’s journey.
We believe every family deserves exceptional support, so our doula services are designed to be accessible and flexible. With transparent pricing and a range of options, we work to fit within your budget, allowing you to experience professional care without financial stress.
Each She Births® Doula is approved and personally mentored within the She Births® Framework, ensuring a consistent, high-quality experience. With ongoing support and guidance, our doulas remain deeply connected to the She Births® Community and standards, enriching the care they provide.
Our doulas are well-versed in the unique knowledge and powerful tools of the She Births® Method. They are trained to guide you through each technique, from pain management and relaxation strategies to emotional and mental preparation, ensuring you’re equipped with all the resources to feel empowered and supported during birth.
Providing emotional support during labour and birth, which doulas excel at, helps parents feel calm, heard, and empowered in their journey, however birth unfolds.
Doula's help prepare both mother and her birth partner, offering practical tools, breathing techniques, and ways to create a nurturing environment in the birthing space. They actually allow a partner to spend more time in an optimal way with mum.
Studies show that continuous support from a doula can lead to better birth outcomes and higher satisfaction for families. With She Births® Doulas, you benefit from this supportive presence, knowing it positively impacts your experience, health, and emotional well-being during one of life’s most transformative events.
Nadine Richardson, She Births® Founder is one of the longest standing and most sought after doulas in Australia. Over half our families ask her to care for them or recommend a doula specifically for them. Thus, she decided to curate a team of the ‘best in class’ all trained and experienced in the She Births® methodology.
Our doulas are highly trained and experienced. They are intelligent, insightful, creative and nurturing. All of these qualities are essential for a really great birth experience. Our doulas have been trained in the She Births® philosophy and practical tools and have worked alongside Nadine.
They value the importance of evidence-based and high quality antenatal education. After completing your education with us, a doula will be able to hold space through the ups and downs that will undoubtedly arise. Your doula will provide a container for discourse that will allow you to dive deeper into any fears or limiting beliefs and can facilitate ritual to nurture and support you on the inner transformational journey.
You can learn a little more from the video below, taken from our Full Online Course.
Our Doula Service is for families who have completed the full She Births® course either online or face to face. This allows for even more continuity in language, principles and tools. Our packages are uniquely created for body, mind and soul but you can tailor them precisely for your needs and your budget.
Finding and choosing a Doula in both the cities and regional areas is not easy, but we love to help every family that we can and always go the extra mile.
Our Doula Service is exclusive to families who complete the She Births® course face-to-face or online. All are trained in the She Births® method allowing for continuity in language & principles.
Every doula has been hand-selected and approved by Founder of She Births®, Nadine Richardson. Plus, Nadine always works alongside Caroline, our Doula Service Manager to help find you the best doula.
We match you with a shortlist of recommended doulas that we know will meet your requirements and are available for your dates within your budget.
Please note that we currently offer the regional NSW Doula service at a cheaper rate than Sydney and Melbourne city rates to ensure a more affordable service.
Upon purchasing this ticket, She Births® Doula Manager Caroline will contact you to book a 30-45 minute call to discuss your needs.
Fill out the form below and let us know about your pregnancy and what type of birth experience you are hoping to have. We will come back to organise a personalised phone catch-up.
During your chat with our Doula Service Manager, Caroline Knight (who is a doula herself), you will understand how a doula can support your unique and individual needs, and birth preferences. Our service is based upon what Nadine has been providing to families for many years and what thousands of mums have told us they really want and need.
Searching for a doula on Google isn't easy. So many different profiles out there ! Where to start?! Some might be great with marketing and have an efficient website but your best match might be a doula who only works by word-of-mouth ! We have a team of over 40 doulas with a wide range of profiles and skills. We will hold your hand across the 'meet and greet stage' so you can choose the best doula for your family.
All our doulas have been selected by Nadine and trained in the She Births® method or worked alongside Nadine. This allows for continuity in language, principles and tools and you will be on the same page during your antenatal visits and during your birth whether you’re talking ‘Coffee Plunger Breath’ or utilising the B.R.A.N.D acronym.
Our She Births® Doula Packages are only for people who have completed a She Births® course either online (full course) or face to face. Again, this allows for continuity in language, principles and tools between the clients and the doula. Our doulas enjoy working with She Births® families as education is the most important tool to have an empowering and beautiful birth.
The earlier the better! Good doulas are booked early and fast! At She Births® we recommend you select your doula around 18 weeks. If you are doing a fetal morphology scan around that time it might be good to confirm your doula once you have the results as that can sometimes throw a few different birth ideas into the mix.
Please get in touch with Caroline our Doula Manager as early as possible (13 -18 weeks) to do all the admin steps and select your package because our team get booked up very early, and especially if your Estimated Due Date falls on busy holiday times!
The cost of our Doula Service is to cover our work in managing and booking your doula. You will pay your doula whatever fee is agreed upon, separately and directly. Our Doula Service fee is separate to your doula rate and no doulas are directly employed by She Births®.
According to a 2017 Cochrane Database Systematic Review, continuous support in labor may improve a number of outcomes for both mother and baby:
Continuous support from a person who is present solely to provide support, is not a member of the woman’s own network, is experienced in providing labor support, has at least a modest amount of training appears beneficial. No adverse outcomes have been identified.
Engaging with a doula is a very ancient mode of care during the birthing rite of passage yet the contemporary role of “doula” first emerged from the grassroots natural birth movement in the United States in the 1960s. The word originates from the Greek meaning ‘woman’s servant’ and the term doula was first used in a 1969 anthropological study conducted by Dana Raphael, a protégée of Margaret Mead.
Of course you can! Complete the above form that will get sent straight to Caroline, our Doula Manager. She will send you more info and organise a phone call with you to discuss everything in detail.
