Why have a FYC Doula?

Put simply, our scientific knowledge and experience! {You only have to read our testimonials below} Fill Your Cup is Australia's only science and evidenced-based led Doula Village.

FYC Doulas are graduates of either internationally recognised Julia Jones' 'Newborn Mothers Collective' or the Australian Doula College. We are Doula Network of Australia members and the Melbourne team are MAMA Melbourne preferred doulas.

All FYC Doulas undergo additional training in postpartum nutrition, maternal mental health, infant sleep, feeding and mood. We work with all parents: traditional birth, solo, same sex, and adoptive.

"Evidence led, our weekly visits helped us navigate the early weeks of becoming parents. The food was healthy and nourishing, and was generous enough to cover two dinners and lunch!"

"I’m so glad I took the leap and booked 10 sessions with Fill Your Cup! I’ve always found it difficult to ask/seek out help for myself but for some reason this felt like a safe place to start. They helped remind me that my self care should be a priority at such a busy time for our family, and for this I am very grateful"

"It was such a calming experience. I sincerely enjoyed having Renee come over each week. It made a huge difference having someone to talk to about my experiences and feelings around birth and motherhood. Renee kept me in the present and ensured food was nourishing and nutritious"

"Soul and sanity saving.

The once a week visit from Amanda lifted our spirits and the delicious food she made nourished and energised us."

"I loved the help that Amanda offered me and the way she made me feel. It was so great having a meal cooked but it was also so lovely for her to make me a tea or offer to hang some washing. She really is a truely special person and I really cherish the connection that we had. I will never forget her kindness"

"Fill Your Cup is a godsend for new mamas! I feel like every Wednesday my fairy godmother came to visit and whipped up beautiful food and gave me the pick me up I needed. The only downside is that eventually it all comes to an end, I wish I could keep Renee forever!"

- Emily -

"I cannot thank these beautiful ladies enough, this is my third child and nothing braces your for that fourth trimester even though you have been through it before.

If there is one thing I can recommend to plan for after having your baby, definitely get a Fill Your Cup doula these ladies are amazing and know exactly what to do to help "

- Stacey -

"Cannot recommend FYC more to new mamas! FYC provided both practical and emotional support and most of all, camaraderie and a sense of not being alone in this new season of life. In fact, FYC created a really sacred space for me to soak up motherhood with my littlest love which I am so grateful for."

"I loved the postpartum doula service provided by Amanda through Fill Your Cup. I felt taken care of, supported with empathy and compassion. The meals were delicious and I looked forward to every visit. As a first time mum, I felt so emotionally supported - I am so glad I decided to book a doula service with Fill Your Cup."

"I very much enjoyed my time with FYC! I felt heard, understood and also learned plenty about motherhood through chats, and through being looked after, being cooked for, and enjoying time for myself while Kaitlyn visited"
