As a doula, I am your and your partner's support person during pregnancy, labour and post-birth so you can have an optimal experience with the best support. Birth is best done with continuity of care and with a loving birth team
I specialise in women's and children's health, and it brings me such joy to support and educate women and parents around the world. My consultations cover all you need from mental and physical health, nutrition and pathology, as well as finding your unique way to build a long-lasting health-focused lifestyle.
I run workshops that teach you about pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum, as well as workshops tailored for motherhood to ensure you as a woman and/or mother are supported and informed. To read more and see my offerings for my mothers' group, pregnancy workshop, motherhood retreat and more see the Events & programs tab above.
The biggest support needed in the journey to and during motherhood is continuity of care. Giving support by way of knowing you and your history saves you time and offers you and your loved ones optimal care and support.
As an individual you have needs that are unique to you. Your family history, your constitution, your lifestyle all serves as a blueprint that is yours only. By honouring this your nutrition must be tailored accordingly to serves you the best health possible.
Wellbeing and thriving in life requires a multifaceted approach of continuous education through the different stages of your life. You are always going to be searching for further growth and wisdom as a mother which I wholehartedly encourage.
"Anna-Maria involved my husband George in conversations when she came to our house for home visits, and asked him how he was doing and made him feeling included. Most importantly, Anna-Maria supported my husband during the birth. I was induced and my husband was remarkable in the support he provided. Anna-Maria respected the dynamic in the room and supported my husband in supporting me in the birth."

"…thank you so much for your knowledge, patience, humour and determined curiosity, it’s been a wonderful end to a long-standing problem for me. I’d recommend you to anyone in a heartbeat."

"My main problem I had before I started working with Anna-Maria was constant tiredness. The problem that I found being tired was I was always wanting to have a sleep during the day, lack of motivation and generally just not my happy self, our sex life was also suffering."

"Before seeing Anna-Maria I had been suffering for 15+ years (I’m 32) with a pretty fragile digestive system that meant I was often (fortnightly) very uncomfortable for 1-3 days with diarrhea and bloating. I wasn’t sure what Anna-Maria could do to help, but I thought that a new opinion on my digestion, as well as a handful of recommendations for improving my general nutrition and health, was certainly worth a visit."

I’m Anna-Maria Boelskov, a Sydney birth doula, naturopath and herbalist with 15+ years of experience in women’s health. Originally from Denmark and now a mother of four girls, I support women with natural pregnancy care, birth doula support, postpartum health, nutritional and herbal medicine.
I began my journey in women’s health over 15 years ago and became a birth doula when I realised how vital continuity of care is for positive birth outcomes. I’ve since supported hundreds of women and families across Sydney with personalised pregnancy support, labour and birth care, postpartum recovery and holistic women’s health.
My naturopathic and herbal medicine approach focuses on the underlying cause of symptoms, restoring balance at a cellular level and supporting long-term wellbeing for mothers and babies.
“After a handful of sessions I feel like I have a wealth of knowledge that I can use to keep my nutrition on track for years to come – thank you Anna-Maria!”
