What is a Doula?
A Doula is a non-medical support person who provides emotional, physical and educational support to a pregnant woman and her partner throughout her pregnancy, labour, birth and the post natal period.
Honour Your Innate Power
Welcome
I’m Maite Marchiori — Birth Doula, Antenatal Birth Educator, Postpartum Doula, and the heart behind Mama Omiiye.
My mission is to hold a safe, nurturing space for you to remember your innate power:
the power of birthing, the power of love, and the power of creation.
I am a certified Birth and Postpartum Doula and Antenatal Birth Educator, accredited by the Australian Doula College — now known as the Womb to Tomb Foundation.
I also bring my expertise as a Certified Pilates Instructor, with a specialised focus on prenatal and postnatal bodywork — supporting your body’s strength, mobility, and recovery throughout the journey.
With deep reverence for birth as a sacred rite of passage, I work holistically — supporting the emotional, spiritual, and physiological aspects of this transformation. I honour both the birthing person and their support partner, offering guidance that is grounded, soulful, and empowering.
Education is central to my care.
I believe that understanding how birth works — through the lens of physiology, hormones, mindset, and movement — is essential for releasing fear and building trust in the body’s wisdom. I offer one-on-one sessions that prepare you and your partner with practical tools for each stage of labor, birth, and postpartum.
My offerings include:
Personalised prenatal and postpartum doula support
Accredited antenatal birth education & embodied birth preparation
Pilates-informed movement and breathwork for pregnancy & postpartum recovery
Emotional and spiritual support throughout your entire journey
Partner preparation — helping birth partners feel confident and connected
Closing of the Bones Ceremony – a sacred postpartum ritual for healing and integration
Birth & Life photography – storytelling through powerful imagery
A carefully curated shop with products to nourish and support you
While I walk alongside you as your doula, I also collaborate with a trusted network of professionals — including lactation consultants, mental health practitioners, bodyworkers, and fellow doulas — to offer you whole-person care.
Whether you're preparing for your first birth or are a seasoned birthing person, navigating a new chapter, or seeking to reconnect with your body and intuition — I am here to walk with you, gently and powerfully.
With love and presence,
Maitê Marchiori
Mama Omiiye

“Having Maite as a Doula was the best decision I made when planning the my birth of my baby. She has shown to be very knowledgeable, warm and helpful, guiding me through pre birth, during birth and pos birth. I needed someone who could help me with my birth plan, keep me in the path I had chosen and she was there for me.
Breath in.... Breath out
I most definitely recommend her Doula services and If I am blessed with a second baby I will mostly certainly want her by my side.”

"Having a baby can be an overwhelming experience for first time parents. There are a lot of things to consider and keep track and its very easy to miss some things. We decided to avail the services of Maite to help guide us on our journey as our doula.
We only knew that we wanted to have a natural birth, but we didn't know the options that we had. Maite guided us and helped ensure that Sarah gets the birthing experience that she envisioned.
