Holistic Birth & Postpartum Doula

I believe that with every birth, no matter where it takes place or how it unfolds, a woman goes on a journey through a transformational rite of passage which will change her in the most beautifully profound way. It is my intention to walk alongside you and your partner on this journey - to nourish and celebrate you, to remind you how powerful and capable you are, to hold space for you to come back to your own intuition, to invite you to connect with your amazing body and your baby, and to support you to navigate this rite of passage from a place of empowerment and ease.


This journey is a wild one, often filled with a lot of outside noise and many ebbs and flows along the way. I will be there throughout to share knowledge with you and your partner, to bring you back to your intuition and to support you in whatever decision you make. I will walk alongside you no matter where you choose to give birth or what your birth looks like, I will provide you with that sense of stability and continuity.


You deserve to be held and honoured as you navigate this profoundly beautiful rite of passage. Together, we can ensure that you and your partner enter parenthood rooted in a deep sense of unwavering trust in your ability to raise and nurture your new arrival.


It is hugely important to me that I get to know you and your family in a deep and intimate way. It is from this place of trust and knowing between us that I can best support you in having the birth you desire. Before our initial Connection Session we will feel into how we want to spend our time together, coming up with our own unique map which may include some of the following:

~ Pregnancy & Birth ~

  • Exploring comfort measures for your birth and how best your partner or I can support you in these
  • Facilitating discussions between you and your birth partner about their role supporting you in the birth space
  • A space for you to share openly and without judgment any fears, concerns or worries that might arise, and to be witnessed and honoured as you move through this transformational rite of passage

To give birth ... a woman must go to the place between this world and the next, to that thin membrane between here and there. To the place where life comes from, to the mystery, in order to reach over to bring forth the child that is hers .
