Closing Ceremony

I offer a Closing Ceremony for any woman that feels that they need to honour a rite of passage. We can utilise this form of ceremony to honour a threshold, transition and rebirth anew

For new mother I do offer this as a stand alone but not until they have fully honoured the post partum period of the fourth trimester (no sooner than 12 weeks postnatally) as I do not believe we are energetically ready for the full closing before this time. If you would like to receive more immediate post partum support, please see the ‘Closing the Birth Portal’ offering below

I offer either womb tending sessions or a package of sessions for anyone who needs to do deeper work before a closing and rebirth feels appropriate. Please follow the link at the bottom of this section to my shamanic in person sessions that culminate in a closing and rebirth ceremony or click the link to the Earth Womb sessions

It is never too late to receive this ceremony. I have worked with women at all ages and stages, some many decades after a birth or loss.

I am happy to share this closing ceremony with others that you would like to witness and support you

Testimonials

  • You. Your work. It’s just changed my life”

    — C. Farrant, Freebirth after 2 cesareans Client

  • “You held space SO beautifully I will never forget how perfect you were”

    — Jocie - Freebirth Client

  • ''Dear Laura, I’m not sure that thank you really quite covers what incredible support, kindness, wisdom, love and joy you have given us. We are so grateful to have had you as part of our team. You helped us navigate so many aspects of our pregnancy and helped us bring our baby into the world as a bright eyed little wonder.”

    — Mr & Mrs.G, Birth Doula Clients

  • “I couldn't recommend Laura more.. she's a extremely special lady. She has a HUGE amount of knowledge, and so many amazing skills from hypno-birthing to massage to yoga. I'm so very grateful for her being part of my incredible journey into motherhood.”

    —Ms L.Barton, Birth Doula client

  • “Laura is everything you could want in a birth-keeper - intuitive, supportive, kind, knowledgable and skilled. Under her guidance, I was able to have a completely natural VBAC home birth without any medical intervention even though I had a traumatic first birth that ended in an emergency c-section and had planned to have my second birth in hospital as recommended. I am still in awe that she supported us through the birth of our child solo as she was with us long before a midwife was able to reach us! I found her general knowledge of both holistic and medical approaches invaluable, as well as her teaching about birth. During birth, she effortlessly shifted between honouring my space and intuition as a birthing mother and guiding me when I needed her support, reassurance and skill. She gracefully and kindly protected my birthing space and put everyone at ease. I can honestly say that there is no one else I would have trusted more to share the journey of pregnancy and birth with, nor anyone's company I would have enjoyed more”
