Are you pregnant and preparing for the birth of your baby?
No matter if first or fifth baby, I know it can be a wildly exciting time. And often quite daunting!
There is no other time in your life when you can harness your superpower as a woman more intensely than in pregnancy and birth.
Pregnancy and birth are a time-limited opportunity to redefine who you are in the world in whatever way you choose.
To step into the unknown territory of birth with courage and clear intentions as you discover your own strength and magnificence.
I truly believe in the exquisite power of our female bodies to birth our babies with relative ease.
And I have experienced and witnessed firsthand the transcendent nature of birth.
Continuity of care is also a big plus as a special kind of intimacy is likely to grow with your caregivers during your journey from pregnancy through to the “fourth trimester”.
For example, massage and bodywork are never just about your physical body but will also balance your emotions and energy body at the same time.
Similarly, as a birth educator and doula, I would cover as many aspects of your pregnancy and birth journey and offer you and your partner a variety of holistic tools to explore and make your own.
and attuned presence in all that I offer.
I can meet you wherever you are in your preparation journey.
My primary aim will be to reflect back to you your sublime nature as Woman and Mother
