West Cork Birthkeeper & Postpartum Doula

Prepare for a powerful birth & supported matrescence.

How do you prepare for the birth you want and deserve? Have you thought about your 4th trimester?

As your doula, I help you clarify your options, unpack your blocks and concerns, and prepare for this powerful rite of passage. I will help guide you through the confusing and often conflicting information surrounding birth so you can discover what is important to you and what birth you want to experience.

Birth is a portal. Birth has power. It will influence how your journey into motherhood begins. Support yourself and your family before, during and after this sacred time.

Hello, I’m Mindy.

BIRTH & POSTPARTUM DOULA

I am an eternal optimist, joy seeker, foodie, ocean lover and sun worshipper.

I fell in love with all things birth when having my own three children.

The joy of yoga took me to India to learn more yoga and the love of food led me to study Naturopathic Nutrition.

My three little teachers (Noah, Jude and Archur) show me the joys and challenges of life and teach me endless patience, surrender and love.

I love talking & listening to all things birth and postpartum.

Being present in a family's sacred space during and in the tender time of postpartum is special and an incredible honour.
