Emily Morter (she/her) is an osteopath and doula based in Naarm, Melbourne (on Wurundjeri land). She provides gentle and compassionate care for everybody. Her holistic approach honours you as the expert on your body, with deep listening and co-creation of treatment plans that support your healing journey.
Emily comes from a long lineage of midwives. She is a full spectrum doula, offering continuity of care throughout preconception, pregnancy, pregnancy loss or abortion, birth, stillbirth, postpartum and parenting. She works from her home studio and travels for home visits around metropolitan Melbourne.
In our conversation today, we’ll talk about how she came to doula work as a continuation of her osteopathy practice. She felt the pull to attend the birth of her pregnant clients as well, rather than just seeing them before and after, as well as the calling to continue the work of the women in her family. She has had to do a lot of work to undo her “physician” tendencies, but the part she loves the most about the work and the part that’s the most challenging are the same.

Based in Melbourne (on Wurundjeri land) , Maddison Sharman (she/her/they/them) has been in the Healing Arts for 13 yrs, running a developed solo practitioner business in which she currently offers bodywork, yoni massage, remedial and pregnancy massage, flower essences, sound healing, reiki, sacred sexual healing and more.
Maddison is a new doula, training at the time of recording with Rhea Dempsey, and on call to attend her first birth.
Maddison's journey to birthwork was almost by accident when one of her pregnant clients asked her to accompany her for her birth. Of course it wasn't really an accident though, as the signs to birth work had been there for a long time.
In this conversation we talk about the ways Maddison is creating space to enrich her practice by adding the role of Doula to her repertoire, and what she is doing to prepare for her first birth. We’ll touch on pricing, managing your schedule and commitments, and some of the basics of starting a doula business.
In order to do the work that we are called to do, we need to support ourselves first in order to be able to give fully when we’re needed.

Before we get into our conversation episodes, I wanted to introduce myself and my story of how I got started in my work as a Full Spectrum Doula, Educator, Counsellor, Facilitator, Community Builder, and Business Mentor.
When I was a teenager, I became very interested in cultural and linguistic diversity, particularly after living in Mexico as an exchange student. That amazing experience had a profound impact on the trajectory of my life. After university, I worked in the community development sector supporting the resettlement of migrant and refugee women and children.
I loved that work, but my own two birth experiences led to a fascination about the nature of companionship provided by midwives, and eventually led me into the world of birth in the role of an ‘accidental’ doula, which has in turn led to me providing support to other doulas in business.

Shoshana lives in London, UK, and has been working as a doula for 13 years, she likes to ‘debunk’ the myth that birth is romantic, easy, and painless. She says it is joyful, super empowering, and the only true ‘pain with gain’ that there is.
In her client work, Shoshana likes to educate her clients antenatally for every eventuality, as she feels that knowledge is the key to having a positive birth. Shoshana has a little black book with lots of contacts in the birth world and can signpost her clients’ pre and post-birth to other experts in the field including yoga teachers, reflexologists, pregnancy acupuncturists, lactation and tongue-tie specialists and postpartum doulas.
As an art Curator by training, Shoshana has also created a superb niche post-natal course that allows women a safe space to share their birth stories through contemporary art images. Using art from well-known international artists, the course is designed to give women a voice to discuss their shared stories, experiences, and sometimes traumas as a way of processing their birth experience. Shoshana recently presented this course at the annual Pregnant Then Screwed online conference in the UK, and it was a huge success.

Her knowledge and understanding of the physiology of childbirth, as well as its spiritual aspects led her to three unassisted homebirths. Her pregnancies and births were a space for an exploration of feminine wisdom, support, and the power of natural childbirth. She is proud mum of three sons.
Mirjana is an advocate of natural childbirth and the idea that our entire previous life prepares us for childbirth and motherhood. She believes in the strength and ability of every woman to give birth to her baby in love. Mirjana is currently focused on perinatal massage and individual support.

Dusk (she/her) is in her third year as a birth doula, but she has worked as a space holder for a decade. Dusk lives in Boiwuring country in Altona Meadows. Her focus is on supporting survivors of sexual assault or trauma and as a survivor of childhood sexual assault herself, she is driven to support others navigating the unique challenges of pregnancy like she did.
Dusk experienced a lot of silencing in her childhood and early 20s, and she was always drawn to listen to other people. This resulted in her creating a business called The Listening Squad, then later The Listening Mama.
When we spoke, Dusk was in the midst of a Masters of Spirituality, where she trained as a spiritual companion. She calls it her Masters in Listening! Dusk also supports pregnant people experiencing grief, informed by the loss of her mother in her first year postpartum.
Dusk has recently created a space for survivors called Dear Dusk. Dear Dusk is a gentle place of companionship for survivors navigating motherhood / parenthood after trauma. It brings light to our unique experience of pregnancy, birth, postpartum and matrescence through an agony aunt style column. You are invited to read the column, reach out and recognise your story in each others.

Siobhan (she/her) lives in Adelaide on Kaurna country. While Siobhan was practicing as a Vedic yoga and meditation teacher and studying Ayurveda and the Vedic tradition, she found prenatal and postnatal mothers attending her classes were naturally drawn to stay behind after class to share their pregnancy birthing journeys. These conversations resonated with Siobhan’s own devotion to the Divine Mother and inspired her to train to become an Ayurvedic Postpartum Doula.
Siobhan currently services families in the Adelaide Hills on a farm where new mothers can receive traditional Ayurvedic bodywork, as well as in families homes where she provides traditional Ayurvedic nourishment and support for new mothers and their families.
Siobhan has also had the honour of offering Ayurvedic postpartum care to her mother as a reclamation of her postpartum, which has been a beautifully connected experience for them both.
