Welcome to the Doula world.  You are exploring something very precious and profound. 

The first breath and the last breath have held me captivated for many years. 

 

As a pioneer of the birth Doula Movement in Australia, and South East Asia I work as and train Birth Doulas and Death Doulas.

 

Our pets and how they fit into our lives is also fascinating to me.  Join me in exploring life

  

When we serve others a peacefulness and contentment feeling surrounds us.  

​

Life's journey becomes a little more doable as we unfold the realities, the dreams, wishes and possibilities in life.  I learn from my clients.

 

We offer emotional, spiritual, and practical assistance, helping to create a peaceful and meaningful transition from earth.  Death doulas can help facilitate conversations about end-of-life, provide comfort, and offer resources for both the dying person and their support team.

 

Their role is to honour the individual's journey and ensure that the end-of-life experience is as supportive and compassionate as possible.

 

Join the team of amazing people serving others
