About Nourished Feels

Hi, my name is Paola. I’m a mother of two girls, a passionate yoga teacher, and a birth support worker.

In 2015, I completed my 200 hours of yoga teacher training and became pregnant with my eldest daughter, Leia, during this time.

My passion for yoga then evolved further into teaching Yin, Mums & Bubs, pre- and post-natal, and kids yoga. This passion expanded even further into NourishedFeels, a space created to bring us back to the simplicity and beauty of life, supporting families through simple acts of nourishment and connection.

After the life changing birth of Leia I was drawn to supporting mothers on this incredible life transition and began my doula training in 2018 with the Australian Doula College and many more trainings in this space then followed.

Forever delving deeper, listening intuitively and honouring inner wisdom for guidance.

Drawn to the magic of the female body, excited to support women through the transformations they will experience with bringing new life, whilst holding a safe and relaxed space.

She created such a warm, nurturing and calming space. Every detail was so thoughtfully planned, and her gentle presence made the entire experience feel incredibly special. It was a beautiful reminder to slow down and connect. Thank you, Paola, for holding such a beautiful space.

Paola created such a beautiful, nurturing space for us to slow down, connect and enjoy quality time together. The yoga was lovely, and the finishing activity of making our own bath salt blends while enjoying Nourished Feels tea and treats made the evening feel extra special. It was such a beautiful reminder of the importance of taking time out from the busy-ness of life to nourish ourselves and spend meaningful time with our daughters. Thank you, Paola, for holding space for such a thoughtful and heart-warming event.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing the lovely Paola since 2019 where I attended her pregnancy yoga classes with my first baby. Paola created a beautiful space to connect with my baby, prepare for labour & reduce pain through gentle movement. Since becoming a mum, Paola has continued to support me throughout many seasons of motherhood, from Mums n Bubs yoga, slow flow during post partum & more recently, her Doola work as I welcomed my daughter 6yrs later. She takes an holistic approach to her care, truly adapting her offerings to suit your personalised needs. All whilst being fed delish food in the process! Being my last babe I wanted to celebrate this milestone & the power of women through ceremony. It was an honour having Paola be the custodian of my mothers circle for my baby shower & closing of the bones to complete my birth chapter. Could not recommend Paola and her services highly! ✨

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently attended a pregnancy yoga series and it was such a beautiful experience. It was a lovely way to connect with other women going through a similar season of life, which made it feel even more special. Paola creates such a calm, welcoming space and guides you through movement in a way that feels incredibly gentle, supportive, and safe during pregnancy. I always left feeling more grounded and connected to my body. I’m so grateful I found this and can’t wait for the next one 💛

Nourished Feels Pregnancy Yoga has provided such a calming, supportive space where I’ve felt comfortable being myself and taking the time to focus on my body and breath in the lead up to birth. I’m so grateful for this beautiful little community and everything Paola has created. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to slow down and take some time for themselves at any stage during pregnancy.

Nourishing Self-Care Pack I recently received the Nourishing Self-Care Pack, and it truly feels like a gentle reminder to slow down and reconnect with yourself. Every item inside is carefully chosen and beautifully presented. This pack feels thoughtfully curated with care and purpose. It’s perfect as a gift for someone going through a stressful season or as a beautiful way to pour back into yourself. You can really feel the intention behind every detail. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to add more mindful self-care into their routine. ✨

Paola has the most calming presence that helped me stay calm and centered  and her guidance helped me to feel empowered when making tough decisions along the way. Paola's support since the birth has also been key in processing and accepting my birth story. Paola is also the most incredible cook and her delightful treats kept me nourished and feeling wholesome through my time in hospital and postpartum. The cherry on top was receiving a Closing of the Bones ceremony from Paola 6 weeks postpartum. It felt incredible to be the recipient of such tender care and it was a key moment for me in accepting my birth story and embracing matrecense. Thank you so much Paola for all your nourishing gifts along this journey. I am forever grateful.
