About
My name is Alison, I am a birth and postpartum Doula, for Homebirths & Hospital Births covering most of North & North West Sydney. I work exclusively for you the pregnant family, I work with clients to develop specific birth options for each individual family.
I like teaching clients Optimal Maternal Positioning/Spinning Babies from about 20 weeks; this helps create alignment and mobility within a mother’s pelvis to ultimately facilitate cardinal movements of the baby, plus it feels good. Clients have continuity of care with me; I know them intimately and stay with them during the birth of their baby.
Postpartum is probably my favourite time, guiding clients in the transition to parenthood. A vital ingredient in recovery from pregnancy and birth is nourishment. I combine traditional methods from Ayurvedic & Chinese medicine to supercharge a mother’s healing , restore her energy and support breastfeeding. I help clients learn to swaddle their baby , show settling techniques, baby wearing, baby massage, incorporate healing herbs and Belly Binding, closing of the bones & mother blessings
If I had to sum my approach up in three words it would be gentle, nurturing, and holistic.

Alison Hansen Doula
Alison is the most caring and supportive soul I could have chosen for my doula! As a single mother of choice giving birth in lockdown with all my family locked into the uk was my worst nightmare come true. However, Alison turned all this around and she really provided the support and confidence I needed to give birth whatever the scenario through at us. She tailored exactly to my personality and her support meant the birth was a super positive and inspiring one. She has a coaching style with such a calm and beautiful temperament. She immediately made me feel at ease in the 2 sessions prior to the birth and empowered me with the knowledge to make decisions that made sense for me. It was a privilege to have her there for the birth of my little Jack and all I can say the world needs more Alison’s!!

Choosing to have Alison by our side was one of the best decisions we made for our birth journey! Alison is an incredibly warm, loving, caring woman & I cannot recommend her beautiful services highly enough. She was there every step of the way to support my husband & I, to empower us, encourage us & help us navigate the path which ultimately lead to our dream birth as first time parents. After baby was born, Alison nurtured me with weeks worth of amazing healing meals & completely showered us in love & care. Wow, what an amazing experience it has been. I truly wish every mother could have Alison by their side! ❤️
