Misty of Luna Tide Doula Services is a Geelong born local birth doula who studied with Rhea Dempsey and is now working with Lyndelle Anson around the Geelong, Bellarine and Surfcoast regions. Misty birthed both her babies at home and is passionate about educating and supporting women and families to make empowered decisions as they prepare for their births.
Co-hosting The Geelong Pregnancy Circle fortnightly with Kate of Matriyoga and a monthly Doula Circle with Lyndelle, and with many more exciting things brewing in the background, Misty is well and truly making her mark in the birth culture in this region.
Misty began her belly dance journey almost 20 years ago as a fun activity to share with her Mum. What initially started as a weekly class for fun and exercise swiftly blossomed into a transformative experience that transcended the boundaries of a hobby. Her passion for this ancient Middle Eastern dance form propelled her into the realm of performances, where she graced the stage as part of troupes, engaging in mesmerizing duets, and even captivating audiences with the occasional solo act at a variety of events, as well as teaching classes and workshops within her community.
The allure of belly dance lies not only in its graceful movements and captivating rhythms but also in the profound sense of connection and empowerment it fosters among women. When women gather to share this ancient art form, something truly magical transpires. The dance becomes a vessel through which stories are told, emotions are expressed, and bonds are forged.
As Misty embarked on her work in the birth world it became apparent that these two worlds would somehow collide. Finding fluidity and movement through their body is a wonderful tool to prepare women for birth and beyond. Through the art of belly dance, Misty empowers women, encouraging them to embrace their bodies, celebrate their femininity, and embark on their own unique journeys of self-discovery.
