My Philosophy

‘Healthy mother, healthy baby’ should be the bare minimum, it should not be the only priority. We should not lose sight of a birthing mother’s inner strength, nor her right to be heard, valued, empowered and respected.

Hi, I’m AIRLIE.

I’m a proud mother, wife, sister, daughter, friend and student doula. I truly believe that those things make up the core essence of why I was put on this earth.

I used to wander somewhat aimlessly, unsure of my life’s calling, until I fell pregnant and birthed my son, Houston Sol. My pregnancy, birth and postpartum journey opened up a new world to me. A world of realising inner strength, embracing vulnerability and allowing growth. I just knew that this world was one that I wanted to exist in forever.

When my son was nine months old I began my training with the Doula Training Academy and am on my way to becoming a registered Doula. Whilst undergoing my training, I began to process my own labour and postpartum with fresh eyes and a new understanding and being able to gift this education and support to women and families across Adelaide makes my heart sing.

I have a warm and open heart, a desire to help and to hold, and a strength to advocate in challenging times. I am non-judgemental and believe that every woman should be granted the gift to choose how they birth. Because while birth may be a short moment in time in your journey of life, the memories and postpartum are forever.

It is not lost on me what an absolute honour it is to metaphorically (and sometimes physically) hold the hands of families as they take their steps into the world of matrescence and parenthood. It would truly be my absolute privilege to accompany you on your journey and show you the inner strength that already exists inside of you.


Why ‘The Sacred Season’?

As emotional, beautiful, difficult, enduring, wild, and raw pregnancy, birth and immediate postpartum is, it is fleeting in the grand timeline that is our life. It is a season.

Despite this, it is a season that requires our whole self - everything that we have to give. It asks of us our emotional, physical, mental, psychological strength.

It is the giving over of our bodies as we grow and bring new life into the world and the continuous sacrifice as we keep that life alive. It is learning to understand and embrace our new selves and our new way of living. We must nurture, nourish, revitalise and be gentle on ourselves in this, our Sacred Season.


My business is a safe space. I welcome people from all communities, families, backgrounds, cultures, abilities and religions.

We all deserve the opportunity to experience a positive and empowered birth, however you feel that looks to you.
