About Chantelle.
Hi, I'm Chantelle – a Gold Coast-based Birth & Postpartum Doula, Energy & Reiki Healer, and Photographer - with a deep love of nourishing others through food. But before any of that, I am a mum to two kids, a fur baby and married to my greatest supporter.
​
Becoming a mother changed me. Navigating pregnancy, the hospital system, birth & postpartum cracked me open in ways I hadn't expected. It placed a seed that I couldn't ignore & I knew I wanted to support women on a deeper level. I was already working as an Energy & Reiki Healer, holding space for women through life's transitions, but I wanted to do more.
​
Three months before I began my doula training, I experienced an ectopic pregnancy. One of those profound moments in your life where you experience so much loss, heart ache and a level of trauma all at the same time. It was a loss and moment in my life that opened a doorway to a deeper soul purpose and calling. One day not long after the loss, I simply knew, I had to become a doula.
​
That knowing has shaped everything about the way I show up for the women I support. I understand the tenderness of this season. I understand that birth & new motherhood can be profound & overwhelming & sacred all at once. And I understand what it means to be truly held when you need it most.
​
​
Over the past three plus years, it has been my deepest honour to walk alongside women & their families through pregnancy, birth & postpartum, offering heart-led, holistic support that meets you exactly where you are.
​
I look forward to connecting with you x

What is a Doula?
A doula is a trained support person who walks alongside you through one of the most transformative experiences of your life.
​
Before birth, I help you feel informed, prepared & confident. Exploring your wishes, creating your birth plan, & making sure you understand your choices before you set foot in a birth room. During labour & birth, I offer continuous physical & emotional support, comfort measures & a steady, calming presence for you & your partner, no matter how your birth unfolds. In the weeks after your baby arrives, I come to you with nourishment, practical help & the kind of unhurried, genuine care that helps you find your footing in motherhood.
​
A doula does not replace your midwife, obstetrician or partner. I work alongside your care team to ensure you feel heard, respected & supported in every decision you make. My role is simply to be there, fully, consistently & without judgement.
​
Research consistently shows that continuous doula support can lead to more positive birth experiences, reduced need for interventions, improved breastfeeding outcomes & a smoother postpartum transition. But beyond the research, what I hear most from the women I have supported is this: They feel safe. They felt seen. They didn't feel alone.
​
That is what a doula can do for you.

"Chantelle is incredible! I had my dream of having a VBAC at home after a challenging emergency caesarean with my first born. My labour was long and arduous and I could not have gotten through without Chantelle's continuous support and comforting presence. I also really enjoyed our Reiki session and her incredible nourishing postpartum meals. We have such beautiful memories from the birth of our baby girl and we are so grateful!"
