Anna Cusack
Lake Macquarie Postpartum Doula and Parent Support
Supporting parents across Lake Macquarie, Newcastle, the Lower Hunter and the northern Central Coast.
Welcome!
Sometimes it feels like pregnancy, birth and postpartum are all about the baby, but what about you? The health of our communities depends on mothers, parents and caregivers getting the support they need to be okay. Whether you are 5 weeks pregnant or your youngest is 15 years old, you matter too.
I’m Anna (she/her) and I’m a doula, but not in the “hold your hand during labour” kind of way you might be familiar with. My work happens outside the birthing room, providing you with emotional support, hands on help, specialised advice, evidence-based resources, organisational assistance and some serious TLC.
Whatever kind of support you need, whenever you need it, I am here and happy to help.

Struggling? It's not just you.
My book "Mama, You're Not Broken: Unmasking the unspoken emotions of modern motherhood" explains why, and how to shake off the feeling of failure.
Available worldwide in paperback, eBook and audio.
I pay respect to the Awabakal people as the rightful and Traditional Custodians of the land on which I live and work. I honour Country, Elders past and present, and the generations of emerging leaders, knowledge keepers and storytellers.
This always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
