Smile Where To Find A Doula???

Hi, I'm not sure if I've posted this in the right section but I'm stuck as to where to find a Doula in Townsville. Not alot of people seem familiar with the option and I'm not sure how to go about finding one in the area. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks
Sharon

Nortie nortie!!! Check out http://www.bellybelly.com.au/birth-attendant-locator/ at the top of the page :P

You can find one there, if you still can't find one, let me know and I can email my doula list. You have some great doulas in Townsville

There is only one listed for Townsville so hopefully I'll be able to contact her but would love to find out if there are others available as I've heard that they book up early.
