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, no matter how it unfolds, always 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 support you while 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.

A few other things about me…
- I am a mother of two sons, and I am a lover and a parter to a gentle giant named Ryan.
- Becoming a mother greatly impacted my understanding of myself, as I got to know myself at a whole new, much deeper level.
- Becoming a mother also greatly impacted my understanding of the world, society and community, and what it is to be a woman.
- My family and I highly value spending time in nature together, going camping, swimming at the beach or in creeks and going fishing. We often bring our dog named Jerry with us.
- I came to Australia in 2013, but grew up in Stockholm, Sweden and I speak Swedish fluently.
