My name is Nell Leeks, and I am a doula and mother of two growing boys.
I am based south of the river in Perth, Western Australia. I began working as a doula in 2011 and retrained in early 2024 to stay up to date with current practices. Also, I believe that time brings a different perspective, and it was important to me to use the insights of maturity and experience I have gained over the years.
I work with women and their partners throughout pregnancy and birthing through education, discussion and friendship. I have been a bodyworker for over 15 years and have massaged pregnant bodies since 2013.
The services I offer include:
- customised childbirth education,
- early labour and birth attendance,
- pregnancy massage/ acupressure and postnatal body care,
- home preparation and
- postpartum support.
Communication and kindness are the cornerstones of what I do, and I believe that each birth has a unique path. I love to work with women to learn what you need to feel safe, strong, wise and respected. I have no judgement for your choices, only a deep desire that they are your own and made in harmony with your own values. Becoming a mother at any time, in any way, is a rite of passage that deserves honour and celebration.
Intuition has always been a strong guide for me and one of my goals as a doula is to help the women, I support to refine their own instincts into something that brings confidence, strength and resilience as they grow and change as women and mothers.
I am familiar with a number of birthing ideologies including Hypnobirthing, SoundBirth and Birthing from Within. I have enjoyed working with new migrant and single parent families in the past but look forward to learning how we can work together to make any path to motherhood as nurturing and successful as possible.
My business is called Nelumbo Birth Services. Nelumbo is the botanical name for the lotus which is a sacred symbol of rebirth, grace and radiance.
My name is Nell Leeks, and I am a qualified doula who has completed training at the Doula Training Academy, and I service most areas within 30km of Perth, Western Australia. If you would like to get in touch and talk more about your birthing options, please contact me:
