BIRTH KEEPERS WORKSHOP SERIES
A WOMB WITH A VIEW
Lets support mummas to reclaim the wisdom of their womb
Hi I am Kayla. I have been a doula and space holder for over 10 years.
I am so excited to hosting these workshops to share my knowledge and enter into an meaningful and fruitful exchange about how to keep birth and pregnancy sacred.
​
Often pregnant women are so scared of their pregnancy and impending birth.
​
So much fear mongering that women feel like their bodies are broken.
​
They become a patient, and a passive participant of their own birthing journey. Needing to be fixed and monitored.
​
My aim is to celebrate pregnancy and birth as a rite of passage for a mumma to be.
For her to step back into her power and trust her bodies wisdom and tap into her womb, so she can believe in her ability to birth her baby and become a strong mother.
​
It is possible to connect with the baby in their womb and share messages of encouragement and reassurance.
"When a birthing women truly believes in her bodies wisdom then she can embody her birth & experience an empowered birth"

“I love and respect birth. The body is a temple, it creates its own rites, its own prayers…all we must do is listen. With the labor and birth of my daughter I went so deep down, so far into the underworld that I had to crawl my way out. I did this only by surrendering. I did this by trusting the goddess in my bones. She moved through me and has left her power in me.”
~Lea B., Fairfax, CA

KAYLA WOO
Doula, Birth Keeper, Sacred Space Holder, Mumma, Embodied Movement Specialist, Educator
I LOVE supporting women and mummas to believe in their bodies wisdom to birth their babies and dreams their visions.
​
I have designed this workshops especially for birth workers to support you to add extra tools, techniques and inspirations into your doula bag, and workshops.
​
I LOVE holding space for women and have been doing this for over 18 years.
​
I bring creativity into my workshops as I believe that we can access hidden parts of our consciousness that will help a birthing women draw from to release fear and truly believe in her bodies wisdom.
​
I weave embodiment tools, meditation, ritual and ceremony into my circles and workshops as I believe pregnancy and birth is a scared time and a rite of passage that needs to be reclaimed so that women can feel excited and have power-filled births.
​
My past experience includes; mother blessing ceremonies, red tent pregnancy group, labyrinth workshops, 1:1 birth preparation support, clay goddess workshops, water ritual ceremonies, birth doula, extensive training for a variety of educational establishments.
