You don't need a perfect birth. You need someone who helps you feel empowered through any birth.
Birth is unpredictable.
What isn't is how you'll feel when you have a calm, familiar presence beside you — someone who knows you, advocates for you, and helps you navigate whatever comes.
I’m Abbi a doula, mother of three, and the heart behind 3 Echoes Doula.
Birth trauma isn't what happens to you — it's how you experience it.
A woman can have an unplanned caesarean and feel deeply empowered.
The difference is whether she felt heard, safe, and in control of her choices.
— The belief at the heart of 3 Echoes Doula
Is this you?
"I don't know what labour will actually feel like — and that terrifies me."
"What if my partner doesn't know how to help in the moment?"
"I'm worried I'll be rushed into decisions I don't fully understand."
"My family isn't nearby. I don't want to do this alone."
What changes when Abbi is with you
Anxious about the unknown → Prepared for the unpredictable
Partner feels helpless → Partner knows exactly how to help
Rushed into decisions → Space to choose with understanding
Alone, no family nearby → A known, trusted presence beside you
Research published in the Women and Birth journal identified five emotional support strategies unique to doulas — skills midwives and nurses don't provide, even excellent ones. The most powerful of those five is reframing — helping a woman see what's happening differently, in the moment, so she can respond with agency rather than fear. This is the approach at the core of everything I do. Not promising a perfect birth. Not pushing an agenda. Supporting you through any birth — so you emerge from it feeling strong.
· Not anti-intervention · Not "pain-free" promises · Flexible birth plans · Your primary support throughout
Calm, continuous support for women across Perth—so you can feel informed, supported, and deeply held through every stage.
How I can support you
Doula support — continuous, relational care from pregnancy through to postpartum. My primary work and the heart of what I do.
Pregnancy & postpartum massage — nurturing bodywork to help your body soften, release and prepare.
Closing of the Bones — a traditional postpartum ceremony to help your body, mind and spirit settle after birth.
Birth photography — your birth captured by the person who was already beside you.
Whether you’re planning your first birth or navigating a very different journey this time, you’ll be supported in a way that feels right for you.
A different kind of support
There are no one-size-fits-all packages here. Everything I offer is shaped around:
-
Your needs
-
Your values
-
Your vision for your birth and postpartum
Because this isn’t just another service. This is one of the most important seasons of your life.
You don't have to have it all figured out. Start with a conversation.
Discovery calls are free, no-obligation, and a chance to see if I'm your person. I'll always encourage you to speak to other doulas too — the right fit matters more than booking quickly.

Why Birth Trauma Isn't What You Think The one belief shift that changes how you prepare for birth — and why what happens to you matters far less than how you're supported through it.
