Welcome to Conscious Life Doulas

During the childbearing year, women experience deep changes on all levels: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Pregnancy and birth are profoundly transformational experiences in which a woman becomes a mother, and her life is never the same again. 

Birth has been considered by cultures all over the world to be a sacred rite of passage in which the power of the transformation shapes the baby, mother, family, and community.

Reclaiming childbirth as a rite of passage requires us to recognise that mothers own the power and expertise when it comes to birthing their babies. 

The modern approach to maternity care fails women, families and care providers with outdated practices that centre the needs of institutions rather than individuals. 

Today, birth is highly medicalized, rates of intervention are rapidly increasing worldwide, and many of new mothers experience the "baby blues" and are at risk for more severe postpartum depression. 

We can change this by holistically supporting women through integrative care, advocacy, and education that honors ALL the changes of pregnancy and birth - from the physical to the spiritual. 

As Michel Odent said "The Peace on Earth starts with birth". Birth is our primal imprint, and our birth experiences impact us for life. Whether or not you are a parent or intend to be, we all started our lives through being born, and birth effects EVERYONE. 

It's more important than ever before that we support mothers through the sacred journey of pregnancy and birth.
