Philippa Scott

MC

Philippa Scott is a full spectrum Doula of 22 years, trauma therapist, and birth trauma specialist whose work spans birth, postpartum, loss, and the full arc of maternal transition.
Founder of The Mother Awakening Movement, Philippa has developed a framework that reframes the overwhelming, identity-shifting experience of modern motherhood as a predictable developmental process rather than a personal failing. Her work has reached mothers and practitioners across Australia and internationally through talks, summits, and her podcast Family Architect: Parenting by Design Rather Than by Default.
Most recently she has created The Regulated Mother in Your Pocket, a support tool designed to meet mothers in the moments they need it most.
Philippa volunteers with Doula Network Australia, Homebirth Australia, and Homebirth Queensland, and has spent years leading Doula teams and mentoring practitioners at every stage of their journey. She is deeply passionate about knowledge sharing and the ongoing evolution of Doula practice.
She is honoured to be MC of the 2026 Australian Doula Conference in Sydney.
