Why trust me?
There is so much information out there that you must filter who you should listen to. I get that. So why trust me? Let me introduce myself.
I am Damaris, a midwife turned postpartum doula supporting mums (and their families) to experience a nurturing and calm postpartum that optimises their recovery and wellbeing, breastfeeding and bonding with their beautiful newborn baby.
After my midwifery studies in Germany, I worked as a private midwife supporting families through pregnancy, hospital and home birth, postpartum and beyond, before moving to Australia and starting to work as a doula.
With over 8 years of experience in the maternal space, I had the privilege of guiding countless families through the transformative post-birth period.
Infant sleep was a topic that came up nearly every time. Most parents struggled with conflicting advice.
In 2025 I studied infant brain devleopment and infant sleep under neurosientists Dr Greer Kirshenbaum and Dr Rocio Zunini. Dr Greer Kirshenbaum is the author of the bestselling book The Nurture Revolution.
