Birth Keeping
Honouring the Sacred Journey
Birth is one of life’s most transformative experiences. As a Traditional Birth Keeper, I am here to walk alongside you through the sacred journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, holding space for your choices and empowering you to birth in the way that feels most aligned with your body and spirit.
Birth keeping is rooted in tradition, honouring the physiological, emotional, and spiritual aspects of childbirth. My role is to provide unwavering support, celebrate your innate wisdom, and nurture your confidence and sovereignty as you embrace this profound rite of passage.
