About Me

As your doula, my role isn’t to lead or direct you— it’s to facilitate your remembrance of your innate ability to be the expert of your own experience.

Meet your village doula

That’s me- Delaney Rayne, a birth and postpartum doula based on the Mid North Coast of NSW! I believe that the most powerful guide you have on your birth journey isn’t someone outside of you—it’s you. While society often pushes women to outsource their power and follow prescribed paths, I believe that your body already holds the wisdom you need to navigate birth and motherhood.

My Approach

In a culture that often medicalises and overcomplicates physiological birth, I stand for something simpler and more sacred: trusting women to know what’s best for themselves and their babies. The truth is, you don’t need someone else’s opinion to dictate how your birth should unfold. You need space to listen to your own instincts, make decisions from that place of knowing, and have someone alongside you who will respect and support your choices.

I’m here to offer guidance, evidence-based information, and compassionate care, but always with the understanding that you are in the driver’s seat. Together, we’ll create a birth and postpartum plan that honours your unique preferences, whether that’s a home birth, hospital delivery, or anything in between.

Tailored Support, No Agenda

I work with women who, like you, are seeking something deeper than the standard birth narrative— women who trust their own intuition over the noise of external opinions. I’m here to provide continuous, village-modelled care and unwavering support so you can step into motherhood with confidence and peace.

Whether you’re looking for antenatal education tailored to your specific birth goals, active birth support that honours your needs and desires during labour, postpartum care focused on helping you rest, heal, and actually feel supported, or antenatal yoga or birthing classes- explore your vision with me in a free connection call or in-person meeting.

Let’s talk about what you want.

If you’re ready to explore how we can work together to create a birth experience that aligns with your inner knowing, I’d love to connect. Whether you want to meet in my home office, in the comfort of your own home, through a virtual video call, or over coffee at your favourite local spot—you choose whatever feels best for you.

Let’s make your experience your own

Let’s see if we’re a good match.
