Welcome
Welcome to this space dear one. I’m Kirsten, I am a Full Circle Doula, Sound Birth Facilitator, Reiki Practitioner and Ceremony Holder.
To me, the term full circle means celebrating people through all transformative times in life. Birth, death, pregnancy, menarche and menopause are just a few of those milestones that we as humans traditionally celebrated and that I believe should be revered in ceremony. I love incorporating energy work and Reiki into these celebrations and as a tool to help your spiritual and physical bodies remember how to connect, release and heal yourself.
I have four incredible souls that have chosen to be my children and they have all been birthed in very different ways. My eldest daughter was a highly augmented hospital birth where I feel I was bullied and coerced into a lot of the decisions I made. I thought I was prepared and informed, but I had no idea how to navigate the maternal system which left me with feelings of grief for a long time after she was born. I then had twins. Multiples is a whole other ball game of navigating that system which fears anything slightly out of the ordinary and having multiples is extraordinary 😊 This pregnancy was full of lessons and ended in one vaginal birth in theatre and one emergency c section. Having 3 kids under 2 was also full of lessons and half the reason I support mums into the 4th trimester. Lastly, my youngest was born, on my terms at home. It was a water vaginal birth after c section surrounded by his siblings. So, as you can see, I’m uniquely equipped to handle an array of circumstances and hold no judgement for the decisions you make along your unique journey.
I once heard doulas described as the “energetic portal holders”, of the birth space. That is exactly how I see my role.as a doula. I help facilitate that dream state, primal brain space, that’s sometimes referred to as “labour land”. To hold, be present with you and guide you if needed, as your consciousness travels to any level it needs to bring your babe into this world.
I also love this description for doula’s like myself that choose to work with people at the end of their life journey or are consciously choosing end of life. Passing over is such a similar process to being born but rather than dropping into this realm it is moving onto the next. Death is a sacred rite of passage to move through and in my experience is the same portal we tend in birth. It’s important to me that this milestone is seen in that way and beauty can be seen beyond any sorrow.
If you have made it this far, you’re here for a reason and my words resonate with you on some level. It’s obvious that while I am here to share information and help prepare you for your experience the way I doula you will be different to anyone else out there. If that calls to your heart, then I just might be the doula for you xxx

Birth and death, twin-sister and twin-brother,
Night and day, on all things that draw breath,
Reign, while time keeps friends with one another
Birth and death.
Each brow-bound with flowers diverse of wreath,
Heaven they hail as father, earth as mother,
Faithful found above them and beneath.
Smiles may lighten tears, and tears may smother
Smiles, for all that joy or sorrow saith:
Joy nor sorrow knows not from each other
Birth and death.
Algernon Charles Swinburne 1837-1900
