Doula Support

My purpose as your doula / birthkeeper is to help you remember the deep ancestral wisdom you hold and harness this powerful knowledge to guide you on your path to motherhood.

The Journey of Motherhood

Pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period are times of great expansion – physically, emotionally and spiritually.  Women are born with the innate ability to move through these phases with simply their intuition and their baby as their guides.

I am here to offer you honest connection and sisterhood, as you traverse these rites of passage. To witness you with love and reverence as you rebirth yourself as a newborn mother. 

Preconception & Prenatal Soul Sessions 

During preconception and prenatal sessions we will really get to know each other. There may be times when you need extra support along the way; a gentle nudge to keep uncovering areas that need further exploration. I am here to hold space for you through all that may come up, and guide you back to your inner knowing. After all, you are the only person that truly knows what’s best for your body, your pregnancy, and your baby.

I am here to offer you the space to do the inner work of preconception and pregnancy, guiding you back to the ancestral wisdom that lies deep in your womb. Re-membering, re-connecting and re-claiming your power.

Each sister’s journey will be different, and support will look different for every sister and every pregnancy. I work intuitively with you to co-create a journey that feels both supportive and joyful, incorporating ceremonial practices, creative play, and sound healing modalities as tools for expansion, healing and integration along the way.

Nourishing Postpartum Sessions

After you emerge from the birth portal with your baby in your arms, I will be there to celebrate your metamorphosis.

Recognising birth as a rite of passage calls you to acknowledge the birth of your new identity in the process. I will be there to honour this transformation and nurture you as a newborn mother. As a privileged member of your postpartum village, I  will create a gentle landing space for you to share and integrate your story. 

Postpartum is a time for deep rest and nourishment – physically, emotionally and spiritually. I am there to hold you, so that you can soak up all the deliciousness that is your newborn babe. Much like my preconception and prenatal soul sessions, my postpartum sessions are completely intuitive, and led by the unique journey of the sister I am serving, incorporating ancient cross-cultural practices that are known to support an easeful postpartum.  These are largely focused around nurturing the mother-baby dyad, and promoting gentle healing and integration post birth.  

My services are for you if:

  • You are ready to do the deep inner work of pregnancy, to prepare for the dance of birth and beyond;
  • You would like some guidance as you reconnect with your instincts, your intuition and your voice;
  • You want a sister along your journey who you can trust to walk with you through the light and the dark;
  • You have a deep desire to be nourished and held in the tender moments of postpartum;
  • You are willing to be open and vulnerable in exchange for honest connection and sisterhood;
  • You want to infuse your birthing season with ritual and ceremony to create lasting joyful memories.

So if you want to be honoured, cherished and loved during your metamorphosis from maiden to mother, then I may just be the birthkeeper for you. Please see the gorgeous offerings that I have lovingly curated below.

...having Roxanne’s empathy and expertise to unpack the trauma of the first birth set me up for the rest of the pregnancy

Roxanne has supported me in innumerable ways through the births of both of my babies. Her deep understanding of physiological childbirth and her trust in women’s intuitive wisdom, including her own, makes for a powerful presence in all spaces related to the birth continuum.

Due to the traumatic hospital birth of my first child where Rox was a huge support in the postpartum period, I reached out to her for birth debriefing and counselling during my second pregnancy. Though it felt like nothing could ease the symptoms of the PTSD I was experiencing, having Roxanne’s empathy and expertise to unpack the trauma of the first birth set me up for the rest of the pregnancy where I was able to be less in my head. Not only did her support help me with this, but it also gave me the confidence and trust for the profoundly healing birth of my son. Roxanne is an absolute gift to women during the most potent and transformative period in their lives. I am so grateful for her impact on mine and my family’s lives.

...looked after me emotionally, spiritually and physically during my pregnancy and postpartum

Roxanne was my doula in 2021/2022 when she worked in Melbourne. Immediately I was embraced by her warm vibrant energy. It felt like we were already friends. She is rich in knowledge and wisdom, I learned very much from her and went on to have a physiological birth, empowered by all that I had learnt. She is a safe, maternal and caring person who looked after me emotionally, spiritually and physically during my pregnancy and postpartum period. She also encapsulated my placenta and did placenta art for me. I would undoubtedly recommend her to anyone considering birth support/ doula.

Chelsea Dragon

Rox is the kind of person that thinks of everything...

I am so grateful to Rox for her pregnancy, birth and postpartum doula support. I was planning a VBAC after a traumatic first birth, and her work in birth debriefing, fear release and further childbirth education were so helpful. Rox is the kind of person that thinks of everything – antenatal expression kits, labour & birth tools case, nipple balm and essential oils. Her emotional and practical support is invaluable. The birthing people of Brisbane are lucky to have her!

Olivia Sabatier

I was able to go into birth feeling confident and educated...

Roxanne was the most amazing doula. She was exactly what I needed for my first pregnancy and birth. I was able to go into birth feeling confident and educated about the process (which was helpful as I gave birth with Covid). Roxanne also offered a lot of insight into the spiritual side of pregnancy and birth which was highly appealing to me. Her support and friendship was exactly what I needed post birth. I would highly recommend Rox as a doula as she will make your experience really special.”
