My name is Losharn Hales and I am a certified Postpartum Doula and Placenta Arts Specialist in Launceston, Tasmania.
My primary role is to support mothers and parents transition beautifully into their motherhood journey and new role as parents.
I support mothers with a focus on rest and recovery so that they can be present in the most transformative time of their life. I do this by offering physical and emotion support in the way of:
Nourishing meal delivery and cooking in home, birth debriefs, reassurance and guidance on breastfeeding care and sleep support, herbal tinctures, placenta ceremonies and encapsulation, shoulder rubs with warm oil, baby wearing whilst you nap, preparing yoni steams and healing baths, keeping older siblings entertained, light house cleaning and much more.
I am so passionate about the work that I do and I hope that I can support many women and families in my community in my lifetime.

I operate at home in Launceston, Tasmania. I am currently the only encapsulator in the area. I offer prints as well. I have only just graduated so can’t really speak of how my business has grown since graduating.

I’m so passionate about postpartum care and encouraging women to honour their placentas and sharing the knowledge and benefits. It is such an exciting career that I would recommend to many women.
