Because everyone, everywhere, deserves support when their baby is born
The Flying Doula Service is here to make sure you get the support you need in the early weeks and months after your baby is born.
The Flying Doula Service supports families in Melbourne through this extraordinary transition.
I also offer online coaching to anyone in Australia. I support you to envision and plan for fully supported weeks and months after your baby is born, drawing on your own networks and local resources.
Many parents and caregivers are not getting the practical and emotional support that is necessary during this vulnerable time. It’s not uncommon for the early weeks and months after having a baby to be characterised by sleep deprivation, stress, mental health concerns and contradictory advice coming at you from every direction.
It doesn't have to be like this.
In fact, the newborn days have the potential to be magical.
With enough practical and social support, you will have the freedom and space to fall in love with your new baby, heal and recover from pregnancy and birth, and let your transformation into motherhood (or parenthood) gently unfold.
What past clients are saying
Kate has been an amazing support to my family after the birth of my son. She has provided fabulous support to keep my household running and my son and I well cared for. My son loves it when she looks after him and they have a lot of fun together. Kate is kind, friendly and supportive. She has the ability to read a situation and figure out what the right most helpful response is, even when someone might not be able to express what they need, and an ability to get stuck in and get things done.
Kate is trustworthy, kind and calming. She has been a godsend looking after Imogen so I can get some time to work on my small business. She is so good with my daughter, I have no hesitation leaving her with Katie. She always does what’s right for Imogen. Imogen is always full of smiles when Katie arrives and is laughing and happy throughout their time together. Katie also leaves the place clean too. She has also been a great emotional support person to me when I've been struggling with baby related things and has shared tips when appropriate. Oh and she is punctual. Wish I could keep her on forever!
I highly valued Kate and her expertise during her time with us. Her ability to read situations and ask the right questions allowed us the reach the best possible outcomes from our time together. Kate was the calm amongst the chaos and her support gave me the light at the end of the tunnel. I wish I could have kept her forever! Kate is friendly, respectful, thoughtful and organised, I can’t recommend her enough.
Kate has such a warm, loving and supportive energy. Prior to our meeting, we hadn’t really thought about what those first 6 weeks would look like in great detail. Kate was able to lovingly guide us through all the areas of consideration. She helped us craft a unique plan that allowed us to go into that beautiful post-partum bubble feeling so much more prepared. Kate gave us the time and space to think about what we really wanted, without it becoming overwhelming. We are so grateful to have had Kate’s support to prepare for the arrival our beautiful little boy!
