What is a Doula?
A Doula is a non-medical support person who provides emotional, physical and educational support to a pregnant person and their partner throughout their pregnancy, labour, birth and the post natal period.
Honour Your Innate Power
Welcome
I’m Maite Marchiori — Birth Doula, Perinatal Birth Educator, Postpartum Doula, and the heart behind Mama Omi Iye.
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 Perinatal 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
Perinatal 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.”

Client Love♡
"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.
- SARAH & JUN
"Maite was integral in achieving the most perfect, magical, beautiful, physiological birth of my baby girl. Having her support in both the preparation phase and labour/delivery was invaluable.
Maite’s knowledge truly made me feel so supported moving into my birth. Amongst all of her support, Maite helped me implement all my birth preparation during labour, reminding me of things I probably would’ve forgotten, helping me become more comfortable and able through each contraction, a beautiful support I couldn’t imagine not having. Thank you for being there for me Maite.”
- ALANA WRIGHT
“Wow wow wow. I cannot begin to stress how exponentially Maite improved my pregnancy and birth experience. Her guidance leading up to birth allowed us to cut through all the excess information and have a focused plan tailored to our specific issues and wishes. Maite showed up for us 100% in birth, bringing her calming energy and remaining completely present to my needs for over 24hrs. She provided much needed confidence, guidance and grounding to myself and my partner in such an intense and evolving situation. Don’t hesitate, she is the one you want.”
- OLIVE DIAZ
“Maite helped us to prepare for my labour and she gave my partner and I many tools to prepare for the day. She also helps me to get that confidence and feel prepare for whatever birth would bring. She shared lots of information and additional material about labour itself but the best part was to be able to talk about birth in a spiritual and emotional level understanding how to create that safe and loved space.
Gratefully I can say that I had a wonderful birth experience at the hospital and I’m sure our sessions with Maite were big part of that.”
