Hi, I’m Maddy – the founder of The Birthing Coach, a Doula, Photographer, Wife, and proud Mum to two beautiful girls.

Our little family moved from Sydney to Pottsville in search of a slower pace of life, more connection to nature, and a nurturing environment to raise our children. It was during my own journey into motherhood that my passion for supporting others was born.

My first birth experience took place during the height of the Covid-19 lockdown. It was isolating, emotional, and ended in an emergency c-section. While it didn’t go to plan, I emerged from it with gratitude—and a deep understanding of how much emotional and practical support is needed during this life-changing transition. When restrictions lifted and I learned about the role of a doula, something clicked. I knew this was how I wanted to make a difference for other women and families. So I began my studies and stepped into this work with a full heart.

Since becoming a doula, I’ve had the honour of walking beside countless women through their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journeys. I’m here to provide grounded support, evidence-based education, and a calm, empowering presence for both you and your partner. My role is to honour your unique story and help you feel seen, heard, and deeply supported every step of the way.

Over time, I found myself wanting to offer something more. After witnessing the raw, powerful, and beautiful moments of motherhood, I discovered a deep love for photography—and just how meaningful it is to not only support mothers but to capture their journeys, too. I pursued professional photography training, and through practice, creativity, and passion, I’ve developed a style that’s intimate, emotive, and real.

Now, I combine both of my callings: supporting and documenting your motherhood experience with care and intention. Whether I’m holding space for your birth, preparing nourishing meals in your fourth trimester, or photographing the tender connection between you and your baby, I’m here to honour your story with warmth, respect, and heart.

My Services Include:

• Emotional support during pregnancy, birth & postpartum

• Birth planning and advocacy

• Photography for maternity, birth, newborn & postpartum

• Education and practical tools for labour & early parenting

• Household support and postpartum meal prep

• Breastfeeding guidance and baby settling techniques

• Couples empowerment and partner involvement
  ...and so much more.

It is my absolute honour to support and witness you through this sacred chapter. Together, we’ll create space for your strength, your softness, and your story—both in presence and through the lens.
