Birth Support
Alana Wyldheart
Birth and Postpartum Support
Birth is Ceremony
​
​All Birth is sacred, transformational and deserves honour and support. How we birth, directly impacts our wellbeing as mothers and ripples out into our families and communities.
​​
As a doula I am dedicated to the birthing person, supporting you to feel heard, held and seen through the rite of passage that is birth. I believe you are the ultimate authority of your body and as your support person, I witness your process while offering unbiased, evidence based information.
​
I only work with birthing people who are willing to dive into birth preparation with deep self inquiry and self responsibility. This part of the process is important to me and I believe is necessary in our current birthing climate and culture.
​
It is also important to me to honor these transitions through ritual, which can be as simple as lighting a candle, to more elaborate ceremony. Taking the moments to come in to full presence and appreciate the beauty and magic that is life!
​
My capacity to support people in their birth space is limited.
​
Standard packages are available (see below). Unique bespoke packages can also be created in collaboration.
​

Some topics we can cover:​
​
Exploring Your Birth Blueprint
Understand your personal beliefs, past experiences, and any stories you carry around birth.
Working Through Fears with Compassion
Gently uncover any fears or worries you might be holding, and offer tools to release what no longer serves you, so you can move forward with more trust and confidence.
Honouring Birth as a Rite of Passage
Birth is so much more than a physical event—it’s a threshold to be revered. Explore how to honour this rite of passage and the incredible transformation you’re stepping into.
Understanding the Flow of Labour
Walk through the stages of labour so you can feel prepared and calm, knowing what’s happening in your body and how you can work with it every step of the way.

In-Home Postpartum Support Package
Gentle, nourishing care for your fourth trimester
Your postpartum experience matters just as much as your birth. This package offers you tender, personalised support as you navigate the early weeks of life with your baby. Whether you need rest, nourishment, emotional holding, or simply a calm presence in your home—this is an offering of deep care.
As a doula and counsellor, I’m here to help you feel held, not just helped. This is about mothering you as you mother your baby.
Online Birth Debriefing Session
A safe space to be witnessed, heard, and held
Birth is a powerful, life-altering experience, one that can leave behind joy, grief, pride, confusion, tenderness, or unresolved emotion, sometimes all at once.
Whether your birth unfolded differently than you hoped, brought up unexpected feelings, or left you needing space to reflect, this session is here to gently hold that story. You deserve time, empathy, presence, and support as you make sense of what happened and how it's living in your body and heart now.
What This Session Offers:
​
This is a 2-hour, one-on-one online session guided by your needs, your pace, and your story.
We might explore:
-
The story of your birth, what you remember, how it felt, what’s stayed with you
-
Emotions that are still sitting in your body: sadness, pride, guilt, anger, gratitude, or grief
-
Moments that felt disempowering, overwhelming, or confusing
-
What was missing and what was beautiful
-
What you need to integrate and begin moving forward
-
Where you are now, and how your birth has shaped you
You will be held in a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space. As a counsellor and birth worker, I am here to listen with care, to reflect what matters most, and to gently guide you through the process of making meaning and finding healing.
What’s Included
-
2-hour private online session via Zoom
-
Space to talk, cry, reflect, or simply be, no pressure to explain or “wrap things up”
-
Tools to support your nervous system during and after the session (e.g., grounding practices, breathwork, visualisation)
-
Follow-up email with gentle reflections, grounding prompts, or additional resources tailored to you
