The courage to conceive, birth, and parent comes from within.
With the right guidance to be able to listen to this inner landscape, anything you choose to support you in this journey can be a reflection of your informed, autonomous choice.
The role of Birthkeeper is wholly intuitive for me. I have great love and awe for supporting women and their families at this exceptionally potent time. My skills are rooted in supporting families for over a decade, witnessing and learning directly from them.
How I work with each person as a birthkeeper varies, responding to you as an individual. My approach is to provide a nurturing place of witness to enable and empower you into connecting to your own sense of authority within the fertility / pregnancy / birthing / parenting journey.
It is a role of stepping in when I am needed; massaging, holding, listening, supporting. Being an extra pair of hands in the birth room; be it supporting an older sibling, making food, cleaning up. And a role of stepping back and giving the space and knowing of safety as you birth your baby into the world.
My work as a herbalist entwines with my role as birthkeeper throughout the whole journey, particularly in the antenatal phase. Helping to work with any underlying anxieties or other emotions that show up through pregnancy, we work with these in a conscious way before the birth, which can be the catalyst for a smooth and empowered birthing experience, whatever the scenario.
Birth Keeper support includes sessions in Insight Herbalism and Subtle Bodywork to guide you in conception, pregnancy and birth.
