Naomi Chrisoulakis is a freelance writer, postpartum doula, and a mother of two.
In the early days of her career, she cut her teeth in the magazine industry, working for the likes of Marie Claire and Cosmopolitan before a move to Los Angeles would lead her down the freelance route.
Moving home a year earlier than her husband to take an editor role at Women’s Health, it was during a four-day trip back to LA that Naomi fell pregnant, and her two births and postpartum periods couldn’t have been more different.
Here, she takes us through it all: her traumatic first birth, training to become a postpartum doula, the relationship challenges that so often come with parenthood, and how she makes work, work today.
From interviewing celebrities to caring for new families, from Los Angeles to the Illawarra, from birth trauma to an empowering home birth... Here is Naomi’s story.
