A little about me…

Hi there,

Thank you for visiting my page! I’m Danika, mother of three beautiful children. We live by the ocean on the Great Ocean Road, in Victoria, Aus. My fiancé and I adore our life with our littles. Our greatest achievements are by far our small people. The days are short and the years pass quickly, we are savouring all the sweet moments.

I have a fierce fire in my soul that desires change for birthing women. I feel the pain of my sisters travelling roads where their dreams should be supported, however they are left feeling alone and unsure they even know their own bodies. We are intuitive beings, we know our bodies and our babies, we just have to find that magic within us. My passion for birth runs deep and I hope I can share that with women who desire a powerful, life-changing experience.

 Why do I need a doula?

As a woman/mother/friend/sister I have been in situations where I have felt alone and unsupported. Going through pregnancy, labour, birth and postpartum is a huge rite of passage and an incredible opportunity for growth. Unfortunately we are constantly trying to keep up and forgetting to honour ourselves, research birth and take control of our experiences. A doula is there to remind you of this, and ensure you are caring for yourself while coaching you to believing you’re worthy of the birth you desire.

My birth experiences have shaped the person I am today, with two rather traumatic labours ending in Caesareans, followed by a beautiful home birth with a doula. I would not change these experiences. While they were hard for us, they have opened my eyes to the gaping hole in the maternity care-system and something I dedicate myself to now - connecting with and empowering women to birth loved and in control.

My greatest hope for the future is that less women are left feeling wounded from birth. I would love to see empowering births, with women set up for a beautiful postpartum and calm journey into motherhood.

As someone who has overcome trauma to find myself with the birth I dreamed of, I hope that I can inspire other women to believe in themselves and feel appreciated and loved.

A doula is a support person who works through any and all emotions that arise in the lead up to your birth. You will journey through the waves of labour with a steady support who can remind you of your deepest desires and dreams for your birth.

Experiencing pregnancy, birth and postpartum with a doula is the most beautiful way to transition from maiden to mother, or continue to grow your family.

I would love to hold space for your growth.
