  • 22 – Rising Up – Eleanor – With Woman
    Eleanor is a passionate midwife, eco-textile artist, budding researcher & feminist permaculture educator. She has had the privilege to work with women, families and birth for over a decade as a doula and more recently, a registered midwife. She describes herself as a life-long apprentice of the nature and her rhythms through permaculture study, sustainable off-grid living and of course, the Eight Seasons Journey which she completed in Mullumbimby 2018.
    Eleanor’s work in the world lies in being with-women on their paths to (re)connection with self, body, birth and and our precious earth.
    She is committed to the rising up of women in this world and honours the many phases of the lived experience of women- maiden, mother, maga & crone.

  • 21 – Fourth Trimester – Romina – In Service

    Hi I’m Romi, I am the woman, Mother, daughter, sister, friend, lover and Goddess behind SoulBirth.

    I live and work in the beautiful Blue Mountains with my husband Dom, our son Oli and our dog Quincy.

    My vision in life is to support and empower women throughout all of their journeys. My aim is to specifically support women as they enter the transformational time of Motherhood, a life-changing rite of passage.

    I believe in the power and strength every woman holds within. I believe being held by a Tribe is a gift for life. I believe the earth cycles act as a guide for channelling our energies and that we are all Goddesses of this land.

     

     

    Musings from Romina

    “You receive this hug like Pachamama is hugging you!”

    “It was really nice to have a time of reflection of being ‘me’.”

    “Allowing what was coming.”

    “It was wonderful to have the sisters in circle.”

    “You reach out to women and they reach to you because they feel safe and comfortable with you, I deeply honour that.”

    “I feel very connected to my spiritual state.”

    “My journey with the school had a huge impact on myself being strong in my birth space.”

    “Having experienced the Four Seasons Journey allowed me to person that I was right there with my daughters birth.”

    “I sit in circle.”

    “The experience of the Four Seasons Journey will be magical, beyond everything you would have ever experienced .”

    “Everything you need is within you .”

  • 20 – Hold Space – Jillian – In the Birth Altar

    I am local to Far North Queensland and grew up on a farm near Tully.  Cairns area has been my home for 22 years.

    My greatest achievements ever have been home birthing and raising 3 awesome daughters, and blending a family with my amazing partner and his children. As I have mothered my children I have studied Art, Dance, Clothing design and manufacture, Women’s Health, Yoga teacher training, Doula studies and so much more over the last umpteen years.

    In 2018 I graduated from the School of Shamanic Womancraft – a journey that changed my life forever. I was deeply supported during this time to step into my gifts and share them with the world.

    My work and passion as a Birth Keeper and Doula see me supporting Mothers and Families emotionally, physically and lovingly through the major life-changing events of Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond.

    I view life as a constant opportunity to rebirth new aspects of ourselves. This explains my passion for supporting and guiding people through these major changes and rites of passage.

    My passion for facilitating events and retreats for women comes from a deep knowing that when women feel free to be themselves, they feel empowered, connected in life and to nature and their creativity. Women in their power bring a profound and positive healing effect to other people and to our planet.

     

     

    Musings from Jillian

    “Working with my births I also worked with the births of my own children.”

    “I followed my instinct and it felt really safe to do that.”

    “My family and friends could see, and feel the change in me so deeply.”

    “I appreciated the time and space I had to integrate the journey between gatherings and feel it in my body.”

    “There is just so much love and acceptance, I felt so accepted for who I really was not who I thought I needed to be, that was the deepest healing.”

    “My work as a birth Doula forces me to grow all the time.”

    “Being connected with the school has allowed healing to happen as I continue my work in the world.”

    “As a birth keeper, I can bring so much of the school’s work into my work with women.”

    “Listen to the grandmothers call.”
