Liminal Spaces: Women’s Work and the Work of Being a Doula

There is always a sacred pause between what was and what will be—a breath between worlds. A liminal space where time slows down, the veil thins, and life begins to shift form.

That is where women’s work begins.
That is where doulas do their work.
That is where I do mine.

Across cultures and throughout time, there have always been women who hold space at life’s edges—to midwife not just babies into the world, but also dreams, transformations, and rebirths. Birth doulas. Death doulas. Creatrixes. Medicine women.
Sisters of the great mystery.
Keepers of the in-between.

This work is not new. It is ancient.

Whether supporting a woman in her pregnancy, sitting in circle, closing an old chapter, or opening a new one, the essence is the same: to walk beside her through life’s most profound transformations.
Not to rescue. Not to lead.
But to anchor the space when everything is shifting.
To remind her that her body already knows the way.

What is a Birth Doula?

Birth doulas can offer practical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual support across the full arc of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
This is whole-woman care—a weaving of information, presence, and deep listening.
Support that meets you wherever you are, and empowers you to move through your experience with greater trust, clarity, and confidence.

In pregnancy, a doula tends to the ground you are growing from—holding space for birth planning, education, breathwork, ritual, and the quiet unraveling of hopes, fears, and questions.

In birth, a doula holds the steady thread—offering comfort measures, intuitive presence, and, if needed, advocacy. Not to direct the experience, but to help your nervous system feel grounded, so your body can do what it was designed to do.

In postpartum, a doula tends the slowing down—the resting, the nourishment, the tears, the tea, the stillness. The sacred work of integration. The return to your body and into this new chapter of life.

And for those not yet pregnant—or not planning to be—this work is no less vital. I personally offer spaces for women at every threshold: in women’s circles and rites of passage.
Because becoming a mother to a child—and becoming a mother to yourself—both ask for the same care, the same tending, the same deep remembering.

The Spiral Path

The work of women has always been to tend the thresholds.
Every true becoming asks us to leave something behind, to surrender to a spiral that will shape us into something new.

We move through many thresholds across a lifetime—each one an initiation, a rite of passage, a return to deeper knowing.

But we live in a culture that glorifies straight lines.
That demands speed over slowness, logic over intuition, achievement over embodiment.
We are taught to sprint, when the feminine is made to spiral.

Women are not linear beings.
We are nature embodied—wild, rhythmic, cyclical.
We open not by forcing, but by softening.
We expand by trusting the wisdom that already lives in our bodies.

A doula, a space holder, a sister—she does not walk ahead of you.
She moves beside you as you spiral:
from maiden to mother,
from loss to renewal,
from contraction to expansion,
from the known into the mystery.

This is women’s work.
This is the sacred spiral of becoming.

This Work is a Prayer

This is not a job. It is a devotion.

It is spiritual, emotional, and deeply embodied work—rooted in intuition, ritual, reverence.

It is sacred remembering.

It is choosing to sit within the mystery.

This path found me long before I ever realised. In women’s circles, in silent moments with spirit, in the stories told to me. It began with the questions I didn’t have words for, only a knowing in my bones.

This is why I do this work:
to tend the liminal spaces.
to honour birth, rebirth, creativity, and becoming as ceremony.
to empower women not just to birth life—but to birth themselves.

Every doula is different. Every woman’s path is different. I work with the invisible threads—with mystery, with energy, with spirit.
With a deep belief in the wisdom already alive inside you.

If You Feel The Call

If you are preparing for a birth, for a transition, for a becoming, or simply feeling called to sit deeper within yourself—I’d love to hear from you.

You don’t need to know exactly what you’re looking for.

If there’s even the smallest stirring in your body… follow that.

I'm here for the questions, the conversations, and the connections.
