About me
I’m Alex, a mother to two incredible little people, a partner to an excellent human and an experienced doula and facilitator (I don’t love that word but I’m still landing on the right one!). I’m a curious, deeply feeling person who loves to laugh and connect. I’ve recently discovered I’m neurodivergent and it feels like I’m finally finding the many missing pieces of my puzzle. I’m comfortable with big feelings, love new experiences and connection and my hyperfocus skills are next level. I’m an extroverted introvert and can’t live without coffee and fizzy water.
My biggest initiation was that into motherhood. It decimated me, remade me and showed me it’s how we are made to feel through times of transformation that really stays with us.
I’ve been many women in this lifetime and I am sure I will be many more yet. I’m loving being in my 40s- aging is amazing and I am so curious about my next rite of passage and what it will teach me. I am all about celebrating our strengths and vulnerabilities, whatever they are, and love a good D&M (deep and meaningful, in case that’s now an acronym for something else I don’t know about!). I’m passionate about your rights (hello justice seeker) and reminding birthing families of their power.

Experience
I have supported over 50 families in the birth and postpartum spaces since 2023, and have been lucky enough to support some families more than once, which is just so special.
My involvement with other agencies and radical providers of care to mothers is something so important to me. While this is my own business, this work is definitely not done in isolation and the village of others is the gift that keeps on giving, replenishing and providing me with great learning. I’m honoured to be a part of Radiant Birth and the Gather collectives, as well as working alongside, collaborating with and being held by so many incredible local small businesses.
Before my time as a doula I had many identities and careers in teaching, facilitating and copy; I’ve always loved interacting and communicating. These paths and experiences, along with my own matrescence, is what lead me here.

I live, mother and work on Wurundjeri land that has never been ceded. I acknowledge and pay respect to the traditional custodians of Country; all Ancestors, First People, and Elders past and present and those that will continue to share their resilience and knowledge.
Alex Elisabeth Doula welcomes all folk into the spaces I inhabit and create. I celebrate, respect and value the lived experiences of people of all brain types, experiences and bodies. This is a safe and welcoming place for LGBTIQA+ people to be celebrated as their authentic selves.
