What makes FYC different?
Put simply, our scientific knowledge and experience! {You only have to read our testimonials below} Fill Your Cup is Australia's only science and evidenced-based led Doula Village. All FYC Doulas undergo training in postpartum nutrition, maternal mental health, infant sleep, feeding and mood.
How does this assist you in your postpartum journey?
Each FYC Mama has exclusive access to a nourishing postpartum specific menu, curated by biochemist and FYC Founder, Dr Renee White. With more than 10 years in health and medical education, we understand how to replenish, restore and support you in the thick of motherhood.
Cooked fresh in your home, our evidence-based menu is backed by science and designed to nourish and strengthen you during the Fourth trimester. As the weeks progress, the menu is curated to your specific needs with a focus on nutrient-dense foods to replenish micro and macronutrients lost during pregnancy and birth. Our meals are warm, restorative and assist in promoting faster recovery and better feeding outcomes for you and your baby.
We also know that sleep and feeding are the top two causes of distress for new parents. With the help of our partners at POSSUMS our FYC Doulas have been trained in Milk + Moon Program to help navigate this journey to provide a smooth transition into parenthood.
What to expect with an FYC Doula?
In each 3 hour session we make you delicious nutrient-rich meals, fold that stack of washing, settle your baby while you rest and lend a non-judgmental ear when you've had a tough night.
We provide feeding guidance, emotional and practical support, head/shoulder rub, light housework, birth debrief and/or baby-wearing while you rest.
No Hidden Costs! We take the mental load off you Mama. No extra invoices, shopping lists or missing ingredients.
Our main meals may include: Hunter chicken stew; Slow-cooked pork tacos + pineapple salsa; nourishing ginger fried rice. At least one vegetarian/vegan option each week.
Our sweeties may include: Choc + Goji lactation cookies, gooey chocolate brownies, pear + pecan loaf. Check these out below.
We source premium quality ingredients, organic where possible. In each postpartum session your FYC Doula will prepare a nourishing main meal (3-4 serves) and snack (4-5 serves) from our FYC Mama Menu. All meals included in package (no scary invoices later!)
PLUS OVER $400 worth of extra support when you purchase a 6+ session program, including:

"Thank you Micka. Being a mum to a newborn and 2yr old, life got crazy busy literally over night! Having some pre made meals really took the pressure off, it meant I could focus on the kids and also know I was eating nutritional food, which helped keep my energy up and also aid healing"

"Renee’s delicious meals and snacks were exactly what I needed - body, mind and soul. She is wonderful company with just the right amount kind, experienced and educated chat for a new mum while she quietly Mary Poppinses your home and family! I love the book she offers to her clients which resonated strongly with me. Fill Your Cup is a real saviour for the modern postpartum women - I only wish I’d discovered them sooner!"

"I feel grateful to have found Renee! Her deep knowledge and willingness to listen made me feel like I had a friend at my side and chef in the kitchen. The lactation biscuits are a favourite of mine - so good, you just know how much love has gone into them. At a time when I was very vulnerable, it was an immense relief to have her by my side"

"Evidence led, our weekly visits helped us navigate the early weeks of becoming parents. The food was healthy and nourishing, and was generous enough to cover two dinners and lunch! Amanda, our doula, provided an experienced ear and warm comfort as we navigated the ups and downs of welcoming a baby into our lives. Most of all we enjoyed having someone kind and knowledgeable to talk to."

"I loved the postpartum doula service provided by Amanda through Fill Your Cup. I felt taken care of, supported with empathy and compassion.
The meals were delicious and I looked forward to every visit. As a first time mum, I felt so emotionally supported - I am so glad I decided to book a doula service with Fill Your Cup."

"I very much enjoyed my time with FYC! I felt heard, understood and also learned plenty about motherhood through chats, and through being looked after, being cooked for, and enjoying time for myself while Kaitlyn visited"

"Fill Your Cup is a godsend for new mamas! I feel like every Wednesday my fairy godmother came to visit and whipped up beautiful food and gave me the pick me up I needed. The only downside is that eventually it all comes to an end, I wish I could keep Renee forever!"
- Emily -
"Soul and sanity saving.
The once a week visit from Amanda lifted our spirits and the delicious food she made nourished and energised us."
- Maddie -
"Cannot recommend FYC more to new mamas!
FYC provided both practical and emotional support and most of all, camaraderie and a sense of not being alone in this new season of life. In fact, FYC created a really sacred space for me to soak up motherhood with my littlest love which I am so grateful for."
- Lucy -
"I cannot thank these beautiful ladies enough, this is my third child and nothing braces your for that fourth trimester even though you have been through it before.
If there is one thing I can recommend to plan for after having your baby, definitely get a Fill Your Cup doula these ladies are amazing and know exactly what to do to help "
- Stacey -
"I loved the help that Amanda offered me and the way she made me feel. It was so great having a meal cooked but it was also so lovely for her to make me a tea or offer to hang some washing. She really is a truely special person and I really cherish the connection that we had. I will never forget her kindness"
