I love what I doula ..
What is a Doula?
"A doula is a trained, experienced professional who provides continuous physical, spiritual, emotional and educational support to a mother and her partner before, during and after birth"
About me
My name is Tamika Colborne.
I am a pregnancy, birth and postnatal Doula, Hypnobirthing Australia Caregiver, Pregnancy Massage Therapist, Crystal Healer and a Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga Teacher.
I am located in Gladstone QLD but i also extend my services to Rockhampton, Yeppoon, Biloela, Mariam Vale, Calliope, Agnes Waters, 1770, and surrounding areas.
I am a proud mother of three boys and during my journey through motherhood i learnt first hand just how little support the women in our community had during pregnancy, birth and postnatally, that i set out on a path to make a positive change. Being able to give women educated and caring support in offering techniques and services around pregnancy, birth and postpartum is a fulfilling role i hold very close to my heart and feel very blessed in being able to help to make the amazing and unique role us women get to endure, "motherhood" just that little bit easier. After all becoming a mother whether its your first or subsequent pregnancies are all equally one of the biggest and most memorable parts of a womans life, and they need to be treated with the upmost care and support. So here i am trying to make a positive impact to be there for women open heartedly and with no judgement, to help give a positive pregnancy, birthing and postpartum experience. To give you the strength and power to birth your baby. To give you guidance through this journey. To give you knowledge so that you can feel empowered and fearless in making the right decision for you and your baby. But mostly to give you love and support to make you feel calm and safe.
I feel enthusiastic and devoted to educating Gladstone and opening up a whole new world of birthing.
I would love to be your Doula, and friend, by supporting you and watching you blossom and bloom by guiding you through your own journey to motherhood and beyond.

I have such high praise for Tamika and the support she provided as my Doula; she went above and beyond. She is their whole heartedly for the Mother. She provided me with use of reading materials during pregnancy, was also a message or call away if I needed to talk and provided me with lots of postpartum goodies.
She also provided a huge amount of support to my husband and guided him to be the best support person he could be during my labour and birth. Whether it be simply to offer me a drink of water or to partake in some of the relaxation techniques.
During my labour, her use of Robozo techniques, hip squeezes and light touch massage helped to alleviate the intensity of my contractions and kept me focused. It was the little things like reminding me to breathe, because I sometimes forgot to, which made the world of difference during contractions. Also having someone assist me with having a shower and getting dressed afterwards made me feel so supported.
I would highly recommend Tamika’s services to any expecting Mum’s who would like extra support during their pregnancy, birth and postpartum journey. You can never have enough loving, knowledgeable guidance when going through such a life changing event.
Bringing our little girl into the world was such a beautiful, positive experience and I feel so fortunate she was there to share it with us.
