Are you looking to transform your pregnancy and birth experience? Do you want to be witnessed and held as you make the transition from woman to mother?
First meeting after months of intuitive dialogue between mama and babe, journeying inwards to heal the past and hope for the future, guided by the moon, hand held by a birthkeeper. These moments are so precious and priceless and the result of so much inner work together. Photograph by myself, shared with kind permission.
“This woman really holds our birthing stories within herself, they’re woven into her soul, her work.”

I bring a calm and positive presence to all women and families that I work with. I have a deep understanding of the spiritual and emotional implications of growing and birthing a child and the sacredness of the birth experience. I see birth as an opportunity for incredible healing, enlightenment and transformation and my work for this life is to honour those experiences.
A beautiful, family-centered homebirth I had the privilege of holding space for. The epitome of faith and determination. Om mani padme hum. Photograph by myself, shared with kind permission.
““The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.” ”

I have utmost faith in a woman’s ability to birth her baby. When preparing for your birth, your intuition is your most important gift.
As one woman I supported said “You weren’t like a coach, encouraging me or telling me I could do it. You were a neutral presence that allowed me to find the strength within myself to do it. I love that you didn’t take that achievement away from me, that I did it myself.”
A calm, family-centered homebirth I had the privilege of supporting. Photograph by myself, shared with kind permission. My role is to quietly hold space as the loving bond between the parents takes centre stage in their birth journey.
“You already know how to give birth to your baby. But if you would like an experienced female presence holding space as you do that, I’d love to chat ♥️
