Vicki Hobbs has spent more than twenty years alongside Perth families as a birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator and doula trainer. Her calendar covers hypnobirthing and VBAC education, caesarean birth preparation, birth debriefing, pregnancy and postpartum massage, mother blessings and placenta encapsulation, in person and online.
Kelly works across Perth as a birth doula, covering the planning beforehand, continuous support on the day and care afterwards, with a virtual option for families outside the metro or wanting help between visits. Birth mapping and pregnancy massage sit alongside the doula work. Bookings are open for March 2026, which is the usual lead time in this field.
Michelle McKechnie works as a birth and postpartum doula across Perth, certified as an advanced birth and postpartum doula and separately trained in hypnobirthing, breastfeeding fundamentals, Spinning Babies, and massage and acupressure. Support runs from prenatal visits and birth planning through labour and into the weeks afterwards.
The roles in this category are easy to confuse and are not interchangeable. A midwife is AHPRA-registered and clinical. A doula is not clinical — the role is continuous practical and emotional support before, during and after a birth, and it sits alongside your medical care rather than replacing any of it. A lactation consultant holding the IBCLC credential has passed an international board exam; “breastfeeding support” without it can mean anything from a peer group to a nurse-led clinic.
Most of what’s listed here runs privately alongside the public system, and a fair amount of it happens at your place — home visits are standard for doulas and common for lactation consultants. Pelvic health physiotherapists work from clinics and are booked like any other physio, with or without a referral.
Group formats matter here too: pregnancy yoga, new-parent groups and parenting programmes run in terms, so intake dates decide when you can start. Ask early about availability around your due date — the good ones take a limited number of clients a month.
