Rooted in wisdom. Held in truth. Rising in your own rhythm.
Welcome. You’ve landed somewhere different.
Maonei Doula Services is a space to breathe, to be curious, to be real. If you’re here, maybe something in you is already whispering: I want to do this differently.
Maybe you’re pregnant and want support that honours your capability, your instincts, your identity, your ancestry. Maybe you’re wondering what a rite of passage could look like that includes joy, solemnness, and everything in between. Maybe you’ve been looking for someone who won’t shrink your experience into a checkbox or a pamphlet.
You’re not too much. You don’t need to be further along. You don't have to keep the mask on. You don’t have to know the words.
You’re here—and that’s enough.
Who am I for?
I’m a doula for the inquisitive, the deep feelers, the ones who dare to explore what doing it their way looks like.
I walk with people who want to birth with intention, even if it looks nothing like the mainstream. Whether you're learning about childbirth, mapping a birth plan, dreaming up a mother blessing, or navigating the complexity of legacy or loss —I hold space for it all.
This is birthwork rooted in truth, tenderness, and transformation.
If you’re ready to be witnessed, to be heard, and to claim this season fully—I’d be honoured to support you.

About Me
“Birth is an opportunity to transcend. To rise above what we are accustomed to, reach deeper inside ourselves than we are familiar with, and to see not only what we are truly made of, but the strength we can access in and through birth.” – Marcie Macari
I believe birth is a rite of passage. Not just a physical event, but a spiritual, emotional, and generational threshold. The importance of reverence in birthing cant be overstated.
That’s what keeps me here. There’s a fire in me to help others claim the power to shape your birth, your voice, your legacy—on your own terms.
The doula who walked with me taught me more about care than any textbook could. Now, I combine intuitive, ancestral, and practical care that centers your sovereignty, your body’s wisdom, and your right to do it differently.
People often say my energy feels both grounded and galvanising. I’m here for the deep feelers, the question-askers, the cultural shapeshifters. If you want to birth with intention, complexity, and creativity—I’m with you.
Whether we’re mapping your birth plan or planning your parent blessing, attending your birth or supporting you through a loss, my work is to witness and reflect your power back to you.
Let’s begin with a conversation.
What I Stand For
Birth as rite of passage, not just a transaction
The full spectrum of emotion—there’s no wrong way to feel
Agency over obedience—you get to choose
Ancestral connection—we walk with those who came before
Radical listening—to bodies, to instincts, to what’s unsaid
Unlearning the mainstream—we don’t shrink to fit systems
Legacy-conscious care—this isn’t just for now; it echoes forward You don’t have to know exactly what you need—just that you’re ready to make this season your own.
What Your Birthwork Holds
I offer:
Deep prep chats on the magnificence of the birthing body and what it takes to support it.
Voice notes and intuitive check-ins that anchor people back to their gut instinct in the swirl of statistics, systems, and expectations.
Guided reflections on values and how clients want to parent, not just birth.
Ceremony creation—from parent blessings to loss rituals to planning baby showers that center the birthing person.
End-to-end companionship across the whole pregnancy—no rushing in, no dipping out.
Rooted, radical remembering—connecting clients to ancestral wisdom, and their own right to challenge and choose the way the birth
What I don’t offer:
Practical or physical domestic support (food prep, cooking, medical advice).
Performative positivity or surface-level “wellness.”
