birthkeeper Package

Traditional Birth Tending for the Whole Continuum

It is my greatest honour to support mamas through the journey of pregnancy and birth.

Walking beside you for your homebirth or freebirth looks like:

Traditional birth attendance and support, with a non-invasive approach to allow you to cultivate your full sovereign power while you traverse the threshold and initiation of birth. Holding you in your power as you voyage the cosmos to meet your baby.

Ceremony and ritual to celebrate the rites of passage you are traversing, through both pregnancy and your postpartum odyssey. Weaving sanctity through every milestone and honouring your transition on this transcendental path of matrescense, including mama blessing ceremony and portal closing after birth.

Ayurvedic wisdom and philosophy mentorship for the birth continuum, including my Ayurvedic postpartum meal plan & recipes. Education during pregnancy of traditional postpartum care principles and practices so you deeply understand how to be best nourished throughout your journey. Community care & village cultivation is an integral element for a newborn family.

Guidance and support in activating your voice, your intuition, trust in your body and your primal knowing as you prepare to birth. Releasing fear through somatic ceremony and allowing your inner compass to guide us as we meet your edges, your breath and your deep beliefs in your ability to birth. An intuitively guided web of support to best honour and activate your trust in birth.

    To be in the birth space is inherently to be in a realm of sanctity and ritual. When I am invited into your birth space, I deeply acknowledge the innate ceremony of birth and attune myself to the subtlety, matching the energy without interfering. My intention is to keep the space clear and to be in harmony with the needs of the birthing mother.

    Birth naturally calls out for the embrace of ritual, for us to attune to the frequency of primal prayer that is necessary for being in that space.

    This is why singing, drumming, moving, toning, breathing, sounding, cleansing, anointing, releasing, meditating, purging, can all be so at home in the birth space. I am here to support you in the rituals that hold you through the initiation (whichever resonate and help you), and will intuitively weave these tools throughout the journey.

    I have a deep trust in birth and bring this to the space with me when I walk beside you.

    On a physical level, I am in the space to support you however you may need within the depths of labour. This may be with loving touch and words of assurance, or from the background tending to tidying and ensuring you and your partner have everything you need.

    I will stay with you until your baby is in your arms, your placenta is birthed and tended to, your space is tidy and you are fed and ready to rest.

    • Includes use of my birth keeper tools (e.g. rebozo, birth sling, tinctures, massage oils, baby weigh scales, peri spray bottle, etc).

    • Can include birth photography if you wish to have moments captured.

  • Postpartum sessions are intuitively led by what you may be needing in that moment or on that given day. I will weave in spiritual and emotional support along with traditional physical modalities to support you in your postpartum recovery and rejuvenation.

    Some things we may weave into our sessions:

  • Your choice of two ceremonies throughout your continuum

    Options of:

  • 4 meal package deliveries as needed, generally coinciding with other visits

    Each Meal Package Delivery Includes:

    • 1x Main Meal (4 serves)

I honour the Traditional Custodians of the Gumbaynggirr land on which we work, live, love and birth; and recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community. We pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging.

I honour and acknowledge that the rituals, modalities, practices and ceremonies I offer are rooted in ancient and sacred cultures and places.
It is with deep reverence that I share these modalities, and with huge gratitude to the teachers who have passed down the thread of their wisdom.
May these practices continue to honour the mothers that have been, the mothers that are, and the mothers who are yet to become.
