I’m Carla, a Birth Mentor & Doula, space holder. I live on Gumbaynggirr country in the lovely town of Bellingen. I am a mama of 2 beautiful children, lover of great food, community, gatherings and weaving the ancient wise ways into modern life for healing and sustainability. My background is in the healing arts. I have trained in and practiced Yoga teaching, zenthai shiatsu nutrition and herbs, modalities that weave together to complement my doula offerings.
It was my own journey to motherhood that led me to birthwork. Birthing my 2 children has changed me, and I have grown to deeply revere this phase in a woman’s life. My experience of birth is that it is a life-changing event, ecstatic, sacred and challenging, a liminal space between worlds. It also has the potential to be a healing experience. To discover a strength and power you’ve never known. To expand into a deeper sense of self and connection. To love deeply.
I did alot of inner work in both of my pregnancies and I believe that was key for my satisfying, incredible experiences. I used the guidance of Birthing from Within book to undo my own traumatic birth and negative conditioning to write a different story for myself and my children. It was quite fitting then to train with Birthing from Within to become a birth doula and to guide women through the inner work of pregnancy.
