testimonials

I feel so lucky to have had Bella hold a closing of the bones ceremony for me last year and it was such a special experience for me. Bella is patient, generous, soft and warm. She has a particularly beautiful way of making you feel safe and held and seen. I couldn't thank Bella enough for her gift of presence and gentle guidance, and would recommend her to anyone needing support through any of life's transitions.

- Kristin (Closing Ceremony)

Bella's support during my second postpartum journey made a significant impact. Her calming presence was warmly welcomed in our busy household. She created a space for me to unload and feel understood during sessions. She gifted me her infamous ghee that I’ve been using in my cooking every day. Her gentle massages provided much-needed relaxation in those early days. She taught me traditional bengkung belly binding and performed a closing ceremony that brought peace. Bella's comprehensive support made my postpartum period both manageable and blissful. It’s such a wholesome way to honour my body and experience to have her support that I think every mama deserves to have.

Thank you so much seriously. I would relive the first 6 weeks and be supported by you again. Such a gift you are.

- Gess (Postpartum after home birth)

We were fortunate to have Bella as a very nurturing and caring birth doula for our first child. She was crucial in assisting us in what was a positive birth experience and was very generous with her time and knowledge, going out of her way to research, aim to understand and provide care and reassurance for myself and my partner. Her emotional awareness during the whole process, but particularly the post birth, visit helped us to unpack and process the birth event, which was a big help for us on our postpartum journey. Thank you Bella!

- Esther (Birth)

Bella was recommended to me by a mutual friend when I was going through my first pregnancy, birth, and motherhood experience. Prior to meeting Bella, I felt anxious and fearful of the unknown. However, having her support, peace of mind, and knowledge made everything much less stressful and more enjoyable for both me and my partner. Bella's kind and empathetic nature created a safe space where I felt comfortable asking any type of questions and seeking advice. I am incredibly grateful to Bella for being there for us in the months leading up to the birth and on the day itself. Thank you!

- Michelle (Birth)

Bella was a dream to work with and I strongly recommend involving her in your journey. A friend recommended her care for our postpartum journey and she provided support, care packages, nourishment (food and reflection, debriefing and artful photos), rituals and a sense of calm and connection as we were staying away from home and our usual community. I recommend providing yourself the support and investing in your wellbeing throughout your postpartum (or other relevant) journey, as health and wellbeing is all you have, and if you are bringing a little one home then the best thing you can do for them is to support yourself as best as you can. Having regular check-ins was a refreshing part of the week, and having her calm energy in the space bringing delicious healthy foods and holding space for me was healing and grounding. I wasn't sure whether I needed this care, especially as I hadn't worked with a doula during the pregnancy or delivery, but I am glad I did. She supported the transition (matrescence) journey. Highly recommend.

- Raven (Pre-natal & Postpartum)

Bella is a truly exceptional doula who provided me with the most exceptional care during my first pregnancy. I would highly recommend her to all new parents-to-be, and look forward to working with Bella again in this new pregnancy.

- Lisa (Birth and Postpartum)

I wish everyone had someone like Bella to guide them through the changes.
