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.
Donna, a certified sleep specialist and parenting coach, works one-to-one with Perth families on sleep and day-to-day parenting for children from newborn to ten — 21-day sleep support packages ($599 + GST), coaching sessions, masterclasses and a members' community, by video or in the home. No cry-it-out methods.
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.
A Perth hub running the span from birth preparation classes through to postpartum care and support for new families — group classes and individual sessions under one roof, with a focus on the transition into parenthood rather than any single discipline.
A Stirling-based team of endorsed midwives and IBCLC lactation consultants covering pregnancy, postpartum and infant feeding — private midwifery, lactation consults, antenatal classes and tongue-tie care, with appointments in clinic, at home or online.
Michelle Bishop coaches from a psychology and education background, with twenty-five years of it in Perth. Sessions run long — an hour and a half to two hours — and can be taken individually, as a pair or as a family. Ground covered includes parenting, mindfulness, breathwork, communication and the brain-body connection, and she also runs small retreats capped at six. Coaching happens at her place or somewhere the client chooses.
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.
