How do you want to feel when you become a mother?
You can never experience your pregnancy, birth or fourth trimester again, even if you have multiple children, these times are all equally as precious, sacred and unique for each baby. Just like the birth of your baby, you'll remember your first weeks and months as a newborn mother for the rest of your life!
Hi, I'm Rhiannon. Iβm a mother, a wife & an advocate for women transitioning from maiden to mother, honouring and holding space for matrescence as well as supporting women in their later mothering years.
As a pregnancy and postpartum doula and breastfeeding educator with The Thompson Method, Iβm passionate about caring for & empowering women to experience a supported pregnancy, a positive, blissful fourth trimester, including a well supported breastfeeding journey. Iβve journeyed through 3 pregnancies and birthed two beautiful girls, my eldest 7 and my little lady 3.
All newborn mothers deserve to be treated like queens!
I believe in long lasting physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. This can be supported by investing time and energy into preparing & planning your fourth trimester. We can also acknowledge the deep felt impact in having someone help nourish & nurture you in your early mothering days.
Iβve created different offerings to make pregnancy, postpartum and breastfeeding awareness, education and support accessible for all mothers, as they deserve to be honored, revered, respected and served. They are also worthy of being supported to breastfeed their baby for as long as they wish.
Pregnancy and postpartum care isn't a luxury, itβs a necessity!

what my clients are saying...
Beautiful Breastfeeding Program
βWe found the beautiful breastfeeding course so informative and helpful as we continue on our parenting journey.
Rhiannon created a wonderful safe space for our learning that allowed questions to be asked freely.
We feel so much more confident after the course, especially how important it is to protect our space and the role others can play in our journey.β

"Rhiannon was a breath of fresh air in my postpartum experience. She helped me to feel nurtured and looked after through my postpartum journey.β
Jade - second time mother
Mother's Gathering
"I look forward to the Mother's Gathering every week, it's my time for me, where I can relax and connect with my bub and other mummas.
I leave every week feeling nourished, physically and emotionally. Rhiannon provides a beautiful home cooked lunch, delicious herbal tea and a beautiful, calming space πβ
Trish - fourth time mother
Date a Doula Club
βAs a second time mother-to-be I knew I
needed more support postpartum this time
round. Connecting with Rhiannon and talking
with her gave me a wonderful opportunity to
create the postpartum I wanted. What surprised
me was, as I explored her wonderful resources
of books and online recommendations, how
much more I learnt about birth preparation as
well.
I feel so much more empowered and
prepared for the birth I want as well as how to
nurture myself through pregnancy and
postpartum. Rhiannon has such a down to
earth and gentle nature that guides you to
lovingly look after yourself at this time.
Something every woman deserves. Her words of
advice, support group and resources is
something I am so grateful for as I prepare for
the time ahead.β
Brinley - mother of two
Pregnancy & Postpartum Doula
"Rhiannon is very organised, thoughtful and warm in her approach to being a doula. She's diligent and actually does what she promises (she took a whole page of scribbles at our initial meeting)! Thanks for being so reliable!
Having your support during my postpartum was strange to begin with, as it can be difficult for me to let someone in to look after me - however I am glad I let you spoil me during this time.
It's great to have my random requests done immediately, my older son looked after while I napped and get a foot spa while I breastfed and got some hot tea served without asking.
Thanks Rhiannon, I appreciate you xx"
Prachi - mother of two
Beautiful Breastfeeding Program
βIt was so informative on all different levels - learning about the science as well as nature. Rhiannon has such a caring and passionate vibe, we felt so calm and able to ask any questions.β
