“Birth is not only about making babies.
Birth is about making mothers - strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength”
Hi there, my name is
Carmen Moyle
I'm a birth and postpartum doula and I’m here to help you have a positive, empowered birth experience and a joyful, smooth transition to life with a newborn.
Our bodies can do extraordinary things. I’m passionate about working with women towards a normal physiological labour and birth, reducing fear and helping you prepare emotionally and practically so you feel strong and confident, ready to embrace the challenge.
During labour I work seamlessly alongside your loved ones and care providers to help you have the most satisfying experience possible, however your journey unfolds.
After birth - in my role as postpartum doula - I help you adjust to your new life at home, with nourishing meals and practical help, allowing you to rest and recover, find your rhythm and focus on the most important task of all - falling in love with your new baby.
Thanks for stopping by, I can’t wait to meet you.

BIRTH DOULA
As a birth doula, I provide emotional, physical and informational support to women and their partners during pregnancy, labour and birth. My mission is to help you have a safe and satisfying birth experience where you feel heard and supported.
I work with you during pregnancy to prepare emotionally and plan for the kind of birth experience you want, providing access to evidence-based information so you feel empowered to ask questions and make decisions.
I stay with you from the start of labour until your baby is in your arms, drawing on my knowledge and experience to provide emotional support and physical comfort, helping with relaxation, massage, suggestions for positioning and more.
POSTPARTUM DOULA
As a postpartum doula, I visit you regularly at home in the first six weeks after birth with a focus on caring for you so that you can rest, recover and care for your baby.
I love nurturing new mothers through food. I bring nutritious, homemade meals and snacks - approved by a local dietitian - that are high in protein and good fats, and packed with vitamins and minerals to help you stay nourished and fuelled for breastfeeding.
I offer experienced hands for assisting with bub as well as helping out with light housework to ease the domestic burden. But most of all I bring encouragement, reassurance and sisterhood. You’ve got this!
ABOUT CARMEN
Mother of three, maker of salads, baker of sourdough, full-time birth passionista and - like most mums - all-round multi-tasking extraordinaire, I’m at my best when the kids are busy and the fridge is full.
As a trained journalist, I worked in newspapers and corporate communications before having my first baby eight years ago. Since then I’ve been living all things birth and early mothering, and have realised how we feel about our birth experience has a huge impact on our start to motherhood.
I am a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator and have trained with DONA International, the first and largest doula training organisation.
I am continually blown away by what women can do and fervently believe pregnancy, birth and early mothering can teach us important lessons about ourselves if we choose to listen.
Testimonials
I would be honoured to support you.
I acknowledge the Awabakal and Worimi people as the original and true owners of the land on which I operate.
