Welcome - I'm so glad you're here...
If you’ve found your way here, chances are you’re looking for more than just advice or assistance.
Maybe you’re hoping for a birth that feels calm, supported, and aligned with what matters most to you.
Perhaps you’re feeling unsure about what comes after—those early days of recovery, the emotions, the unknowns.
You might be yearning for steady, gentle care once your baby arrives—someone to walk beside you, not just drop in.
Or maybe you just want to feel truly understood, listened to, and held.
What I want you to know is this: you don’t have to do this on your own. You were never meant to.
I come alongside you with a steady hand and a listening heart—offering comfort, wisdom, and hands-on support. My role is to hold space for you, to help you feel safe, cared for, and truly seen as you make your way into motherhood—on your terms, in your time.
Please check out my Doula Support page to see the ways I can support you.

Meet Paulette the Doula
Hello, my name is Paulette, and I’m truly passionate about helping families live joyful, connected lives—starting right from the very beginning. I believe every birth is a sacred, powerful moment, and it’s my heart’s calling to support you through that journey, so you can have the most positive and peaceful experience possible—and truly enjoy those precious early days with your baby.
With over 30 years of experience caring for little ones, my journey began as a nanny and grew as I raised my own eight beautiful children. Along the way, I have been blessed to foster several sweet babies, and now, I’m the proud grandmother of five. Being present at the births of two of my grandchildren touched me deeply and reaffirmed my desire to walk alongside others during this incredible time.
As your doula, I’m here for you—before, during, and after your baby is born. I’m a qualified Birth and Postpartum Doula, as well as a Breastfeeding Peer Supporter, and I offer gentle, experienced care that’s rooted in love and understanding.
In addition, I’m a qualified Baby Sleep Consultant. If you need guidance helping your baby or toddler sleep well, or you're looking for soothing ways to settle your newborn, I’d be honored to share tips, tools, and support that truly work—because you and your little one both deserve rest, peace, and joy.
How can I serve you best?
Birth Package
Our time together will begin with three gentle, unhurried antenatal visits. These are a lovely chance for us to get to know each other and for you to share your hopes, preferences, and any concerns you may have about the birth. We’ll talk through how you’d like me to support you—emotionally, physically, and practically—so that when the big day comes, you feel safe, heard, and cared for.
When it’s time for your baby to arrive, I’ll be on call and ready, day or night. I’ll be by your side throughout the entire birth, offering continuous support, holding space, and staying with you until you feel settled and ready for me to leave after your little one is here.
After your birth, we’ll have a postpartum visit to gently reflect on your experience and check in on how you're adjusting to life with your newborn. It’s a time to talk, be heard, and receive any extra support or reassurance you might need in those early days.
Postpartum Support
If what you need most is to talk about your birth, have a meal prepared, a floor vacuumed, a warm cup of tea in your hands, support with breastfeeding, someone to cuddle your baby while you rest or shower, or simply a kind ear and gentle guidance—I'm here for you, in whatever way feels most helpful.
My hours are flexible to fit your needs. I usually offer support in 3–4 hour blocks during the day or evening, but shorter visits (1–2 hours) may be possible depending on travel—just ask.
*Travel added if more than 20km
