Beyond Birth
Holding Space Through Life, Loss, personal transitions and Everything In Between is the foundation of the Doula.
We would like to explores the often unseen and deeply needed work that happens revolving around birth and beyond.
Drawing from the holistic, heart-led services offered at Mother Moon, we journey into the sacred continuum of care—from postpartum healing and early parenting, to pregnancy loss, end-of-life support, and the transitions that shape us as individuals and as Doulas.
Unpacking how Doulas can extend their role far beyond the birth space, offering emotional, practical, and spiritual support through all transitions in peoples life, identity shifts, trauma, and renewal.
We love to deepen the understanding of what it means to hold space—honouring every chapter as a Doula.
Beyond Birth invites all to reimagine how we care for people through life’s most profound thresholds

I’m a devoted and deeply empathetic Doula, unapologetically passionate about walking alongside individuals and families through some of life’s most powerful and transformative moments.
I’ve been working as a Doula for over a decade, and my journey in Social Work began back in 2005. These experiences have shaped every part of who I am and how I authentically show up in this work. I’ve always felt a fierce responsibility to advocate for equalism, empowerment, education, and informed consent—through life’s beginnings, endings, and every transition in between. Now approaching 20 years in the field, I remain deeply humbled by the learning that happens every day. No two journeys are ever the same—and that’s what keeps my heart in it. I often say I’m just an “old gal” learning new tricks, and honestly, it’s what keeps the flame alive. Over the past decade, I’ve also had the privilege of working as a qualified Trainer & Assessor—supporting women in finding their path as Doulas. Mentoring, guiding, and reflecting with them has been one of the most meaningful parts of my career. Starting Mother Moon has allowed us to expand this support even further. We’ve stood beside many families offering holistic, heart-led care for babies who have died—supporting their loved ones through goodbyes filled with grace, dignity, and deep respect. I’m proud to offer a wide range of services to our Doula community—from mentoring, education, and trauma-informed care to end-of-life support, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, self-reflection, and personal growth. I’m wholeheartedly dedicated to this community and its future—and I’ve still got big dreams. We’re working tirelessly to bring them to life… and we’re not stopping anytime soon. |
