Holistic postpartum doula, pregnancy support and Mothers’ Blessings in Sydney
Helping pregnant and new mothers feel deeply cared for and nourished during one of life’s most tender and precious times.
Why Postpartum Care Matters
The care a mother receives in the weeks and months after birth matters. Rest, nourishment, and support during postpartum shape how a woman recovers, how she feels in her body, and how she moves forward into motherhood.
Many traditions teach that the first 40 days after birth set the foundation for the next 40 years. This is a time for healing, replenishment, and being cared for—not rushing or doing it all alone. I’m here to support you as you rest, recover, and find your footing in this new season.
Ways to work with me…

Reducing the mental load by helping you prioritise the to-do list and finding ways to outsource jobs.

About Hats
I'm a postpartum doula, pregnancy and motherhood mentor and the mum of two little boys, living in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. When I had my first baby and learnt of the beautiful postpartum care that so many cultures around the world provide, it lit a fire in me to bring that care and nourishment to new mums in my community.
My passion is learning and sharing the sacred knowledge around birth and the practices used to nurse a new mother (or birthing person) back to strength. I understand how deeply motherhood can reshape your sense of self, and the need to be gently held through this transformation.
What clients are saying…
“Having Hats as my postpartum doula felt truly invaluable. She nourished me deeply, both through food and the thoughtful care she brought into our home. Her calm confidence, practical wisdom and ability to truly listen made such a difference as I found my feet in motherhood. It felt like being supported by a wise friend.”

“100% recommend Hats. She knows exactly how to make you feel comfortable and makes it easy to share and be vulnerable at this special time. After our sessions I felt so much more confident and informed. She is never judgmental and respects your choices. She truly cares and is extremely kind.”
— Cat, Pregnancy Mentoring client
“My Mother’s Blessing with Hats was nothing short of magical. The space felt warm, nurturing and intentionally created, with every detail infused with love. I felt completely seen, held and celebrated as I step into motherhood. Hats has a beautiful gift for creating safe, soulful spaces that honour women so deeply.”
— Maddy, Mothers’ Blessing client
Join our Mothers’ Circle
If you’re pregnant or have a baby under 12 months old (bubs welcome obvs), come and connect with some other gorgeous mums over cake and tea and meaningful coversation. It’s a relaxed circle with a different topic each week from nutrition and nervous system regulation, to relationship dynamics and sleep.
I guide you through a short meditation, bathe you in a mini shamanic drum journey, spritz delicious essentials oils around the room and invite you to share whatever is on your heart. The Circles are currently in Coogee in Sydney’s East.
Inclusive Services
While I use the term ‘mother’ predominently through my website, I am referring to all birthing people. I love caring for and working with queer families, people from different cultural backgrounds and people living with a disability. If you are interested in my services, but the cost feels prohibitive for your family, please reach out to see if we can find a way to give you the care that you deserve.

Pink Flamingo Postpartum Care & Wellbeing was named after the mother flamingo, who often loses her pink colour after giving birth. With time and nourishment, her vibrant colour returns.
In the same way, my work is about caring for you, so you can feel replenished, grounded, and supported to regain your vibrancy as you move through the early months of motherhood. Read more about this on the blog.
