About
I’m Bella — I’m a birth, postpartum and early loss doula.
I’m a home-birthed baby (from an entirely home-birthed family) with a deep trust in birth as a normal, safe, and sacred Rite of Passage.
I live in Melbourne, where I’ve supported women, Mothers and their families to have safe and positive birth experiences since 2019.
I care so deeply about the reclamation of normal physiological birth, home birthing and birth as a Rite of Passage. Plus positive outcomes for Mama (+ partner) and babe.
I endeavour to hold a calm and nurturing space for women to feel supported in birthing the way they desire and to guide them in finding inner resources of strength to do so.
I’m a long-time meditator in the Buddhist tradition and have worked in 1:1 psychotherapeutic support for four years. I bring my passion for exploring the body-mind into my work as a doula to help women explore how their stories and beliefs shape their journey into birth and Motherhood.
