My role as a doula is to guide you in embracing the incredible capabilities of your body and to nurture your trust in its natural instincts. When the moment of labor and delivery arrives, I am here to empower you and, if necessary, advocate for your birth plan, ensuring that your experience aligns with your desires and intentions. I am committed to making the transition into parenthood one of the most empowering moments of your life.
By utilizing a blend of resources, movement, and connection with your body, your baby, and your partner, I aim to create a supportive environment. We will draw upon the wisdom of your ancestors and infuse a touch of magic to help you navigate the pregnancy and birthing journey. My intention is to help you achieve a birth experience that is sacred, beautiful, and everything you have dreamed of.

Bringing spirituality into my work is very important to me so I offer a range of additional ways to bring the magic to your birthing space:
Weaving Magic into Birth
As your magical birth companion, I bring:
- Guided visualizations to help you envision a positive birth experience
- Breath and energy work to balance and align
- Ritual facilitation such as burying the placenta.
Depending on your level of comfort, I can also include any of the following:
Crystal Healing
I carefully select crystals to support you throughout your labor:
Example
- Rose quartz for unconditional love and emotional healing
- Moonstone to enhance intuition and promote a smooth labor
- Black tourmaline for grounding and protection
Crystals can be placed around your birth space or held during labor to harness their energies.
Sacred Smoke
If you’re wanting a home birth, with your permission, I use carefully chosen incense or herbs to cleanse and bless your birthing area:
Example
- Sage for purification and new beginnings (This will be sourced from indigenous peoples to help persevere this sacred herb. These smoke cleansings are not a smudging, I am not indigenous and do not perform indigenous ceremonies)
- Lavender for relaxation and peace
- Frankincense to invite spiritual awareness and protection
The gentle aroma can help create a serene atmosphere, transforming any space into a sacred birthing temple.
Ancestral Connection
I guide you in connecting with your female ancestors, drawing upon their strength and wisdom:
Example
- We can create a small altar with photos or objects representing your lineage
- I'll lead you through meditations to invite their loving presence
- Together, we can craft a special prayer or mantra to honour their support
This practice can be deeply empowering, helping you tap into the collective wisdom of generations of birthing women.
