Individual mentorship offered across pregnancy and preparation for birth. Sessions are relational and responsive, shaped by what is present for you rather than a fixed program. This work sits alongside medical or midwifery care and respects your autonomy and decision-making. Mentorship may be engaged whether or not I am present at your birth.

What this mentorship may support

• Nervous system steadiness through rest, meditation, and integration

• Exploring birth through the lens of consciousness rather than control

• Practices including Vedic meditation, mantra, and breath

• Practical Ayurvedic guidance, including daily routines and simple supportive recipes

• Space to reflect on identity shifts, fears, expectations, and relational dynamics

• Preparation for the postpartum period and the support it requires

Vedic Meditation option
Women engaged in Pregnancy & Birth Mentorship are offered 50% off the Learn Vedic Meditation course, should they feel drawn to learn. Meditation is not a requirement of this work, though it is highly recommend it as supportive foundation for nervous system steadiness through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period.

In-person birth support designed to hold you in labour and birth with calm, attuned presence, grounded in nervous-system support, practical comfort care, and gentle advocacy.

This is continuous, one-on-one support from labour onset through birth and into the early moments postpartum, meeting you wherever you are birthing (home, hospital, birth centre). Your partner and chosen support people are included, supported, and empowered throughout.

Birth Companion works alongside your midwifery or clinical care without replacing it, and honours your autonomy, preferences, and the unfolding of your unique process.

Sarah supports homebirth and hospital birth, and advocates for natural physiological birth.

  Birth Companion support: $2,800 AUD
  Payment plans available

  This offering is limited to a very small number of women each year to ensure depth of presence and continuity of care.

The postpartum period is a time of significant adjustment - physically, emotionally, relationally, and internally. Yet support for the mother during this time is often brief or absent, even as life continues to shift beneath the surface.

The Postpartum Descent offers steady, respectful support as a woman settles into life after birth and begins to integrate what has changed. This pathway recognises that postpartum care is not only about recovery or routines, but about orientation — to the body, to identity, and to what has been lived through.

This offering may be entered at any point: during pregnancy as preparation, in the weeks or months following birth, or many years later. It is available whether or not we worked together during pregnancy or birth.

This work is offered gently, without urgency or expectation.

Postpartum closing of the bones
In-home postpartum ceremony

The Closing of the Bones is a traditional postpartum ceremony held to support a woman’s return after birth or significant life transition.

This work has been passed down through traditional midwives in Mexico and Guatemala and is held as a complete, time-honoured sequence. It recognises birth as a threshold - one that moves a woman outward and then calls her back in again.

When a birth is intense, interrupted, or unresolved, that return does not always happen on its own. Many women carry sensations of openness, fragmentation, or incompletion long after birth has passed.

This ceremony offers a way of gently gathering the body, tending what has been opened, and marking the transition that has taken place.

The process unfolds slowly and in stages, working with warmth, touch, rhythm, and containment. Each phase supports the body to soften, release held tension, and gradually return to itself.

The ceremony may include:

• Mayan abdominal massage

• Herbal bathing for sweating and release

• A closing sequence using the rebozo to bring containment and grounding

This work is held in your home, with time allowed to tend to your little ones

This ceremony may be received:

• In the weeks or months following birth

• After an early birth or pregnancy loss

• To acknowledge a difficult or interrupted birth

• Or to honour a significant life transition

There is no ideal timing. In many traditions, a woman is considered postpartum for life, and deserving of care long after birth has passed.

Please allow approximately 3-4 hours for our time together.

Placenta medicine is a traditional practice held to honour the placenta as part of the birth journey — recognising the role it has played in nourishing and sustaining life.

This work is approached with care and respect for lineage, safety, and your individual wishes. Each placenta is treated individually, and preparations are made slowly and attentively.

Placenta medicine may be prepared in forms such as:

• Tincture

• Dehydrated preparations

• Oils or balms

• Simple keepsakes, where appropriate

Placenta preparations may be used practically or held symbolically, depending on what feels right for you.

Placenta medicine can be arranged as a standalone service, or included as part of the Full Postpartum Descent pathway.

Some women arrive knowing they want support, but not yet knowing how.

Individual care is available by conversation for those whose needs fall outside the pathways listed here, whether that is a specific moment of support, a combination of offerings, or something that doesn’t easily fit a category.
