Hi, I'm Vera -
Your doula for pregnancy, birth and
postpartum here in Townsville.

My work is grounded in the belief that every woman deserves to feel safe, supported, and deeply respected as she births, no matter how or where that happens.

Birth is not just a medical event; it’s a profound rite of passage. Whether it’s your first baby or your fourth, whether you’re planning a birth at home, a hospital birth, or something in between, I’m here to help you navigate it with confidence, presence, and connection.

I bring a balance of warmth, intuition, and evidence-based knowledge. My approach weaves together modern understanding and ancient wisdom — helping you connect with your body’s natural rhythm while creating the environment and mindset you need to birth from a place of trust and strength.

Supporting families with personalised birth preparation, continuous birth and postpartum care, and placenta services that honour the sacred nature of birth.

My goal is always to hold space for you, to listen, nurture, and remind you that you already carry everything you need within you.

Why work
with me?

  • Deep trust and grounded presence: My work is rooted in compassion, clarity and calm.

  • Support that is specifically for you. Every woman is unique. I walk alongside you with respect for your autonomy., your choices and your desires.

  • Empowerment at the heart: My aim is not to direct, but to illuminate your choices. To help you connect to your intuition, understand your options, and support you in making informed decisions that are right for you.

  • Local to North Queensland, I’m based in Townsville and deeply familiar with our region’s birthing context; and at the same time connected to global understandings of birth work.

  • Soft but steady support for your entire journey: From the days you feel wonder in your belly, through labour’s rhythm, and into the early postpartum when you are rebirthing as mother, my support is there.

If something in you says “Yes, I want this”, I’d love to connect. We’ll start with a no-obligation chat, online or in person,, just to see how it feels. No pressure, no commitment. Let’s find out if we’re the right fit.
