I'm proud to introduce you to the following practitioners, revolutionary leaders in each of their communities who have studied and embodied the integrated nature of pleasure and birth in the Ecstatic Birth Practitioner Training.
About: Birth & Postnatal care, Lamaze educator, Sydney, Australia
About: I am an holistic peri-natal and wellbeing practitioner with a “primal” and embodied flavor based in Melbourne, Australia. My absolute passion is to facilitate transformation through the power of birth with couples whom I support individually and in small groups.  I draw from my background in bodywork, women’s Tantric yoga, counseling & Somatic Experiencing® (therapy for trauma & anxiety), birth education, doula birth support and birth hypnosis. Accessing our aliveness, pleasure and deep feminine magic is the guiding principle in all that I share.
About: A mother, a midwife and holder of women's space.  Based in Queensland, Australia  Deborah supports women on their journey into motherhood at home.  She is also a Yoni Mapping Therapist supporting women to understand their pleasure potential.
About: I have been working alongside mothers, fathers & babies for over 20 years as a child development specialist and a parent mentor. It was my own experience of four very unique births that sparked my passion for supporting women as they embark on their own sacred journey with all its contractions and expansions.  As an Ecstatic Birth Keeper I am passionate about protecting the sacred space of conception, pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood. I believe this space in which a woman becomes a mother is filled with potent possibilities and that it needs tender loving holding. I also believe that understanding the nature of our bodies & minds, birth, trauma and healing all support an empowered and pleasurable experience of birth and life itself.  My vision is of a world in which women feel empowered, supported, euphoric and full of joy as they expand into their role as mothers and birth their baby into their arms!  { And so it is }
Clara Costa Pinto de Souza
About: My name is Clara. I am a birth doula and childbirth educator. I homebirthed my two children, they were both incredible experiences and after being able to plan my second birth in more detail and see the gorgeous results of this, I decided to study to find guidance to learn a professional way of helping women to create a great birth experience for themselves. I'm from Brazil, where the birthing culture is deplorable and women are a lot more disempowered than usual in the north hemisphere, including financial disempowerment. I am so happy to be a part of this movement to transform birth. I'm also a Yoga teacher, natural cosmetics artisan.
About: Hi, I am Olympia. Artist, Doula and Mama. Witnessing my sister's very traumatic first birth catapulted me into researching deep into the ways we birth when I became pregnant with my daughter, Zelda. I could not ignore an innate feeling within that knew there must be a more peaceful way to birth my baby into this world. And that my body was incredibly designed to do so without the trauma my sister, niece and so many others have experienced. I then experienced that this was possible personally with Zelda's birth. A passion was then birthed in me to share what I had learnt to empower women, to dive deeper into new possibilities and help change the current paradigm of birth from fear filled to pleasurable, even ecstatic. My journey through the Ecstatic Birth Practitioner Training has been life changing and I can't wait to share this shift in the way we birth with all of you.
About: I have been practicing as a birth and postpartum doula since 1989. I am also a Childbirth Educator. I've created classes that aim to address the current birth culture and how to shift from the old paradigm of birth as a medical event, as well as I teach a Home Birth Seminar.

About:  Bertine is a wife and mother of two boys, a doula and CBE. She is looking forward to sharing everything she learned in the Ecstatic Birth Practitioner Training with women. So that we may reclaim birth.
About:  My hippie parents introduced me to yoga while still in the womb. At age 6 I spent time at Kripalu Ashram, at 16 I began practicing Kundalini Yoga, and after graduating from Cornell I left the US in 1999 to roam India. I returned to Kripalu for my 200 hour certification in 2002. Although privileged to teach in a number of countries, Aotearoa New Zealand is where I have lived the longest (since 2005) and feel the most at home. In 2008 I opened Powa Centre in Wellington and organized my teachings under the brand MYOGA—Manifest Your Own Greatness through Awareness, encouraging each person to "own" their own practice. MYOGA's guiding principle is freedom to unfold. I have certifications in Pregnancy Yoga (2003), Radiant Child (2009), Forrest Yoga Advanced Teacher Training (2016), and have been registered with the Yoga Alliance since 2004. I see consciousness as the final frontier, and what is truly revolutionary is bringing consciousness into conceiving, gestating, birthing, and parenting ourselves and our children.
About:  I am a single mother of two boys born in 1987 and 1999, both born in Canada. The pregnancy and birth of my first began my passion for birth. I have been serving the childbirth community and attending births since 1989 as childbirth educator and doula. Since 1995 I have worked as a registered massage therapist. My interest and commitment to becoming formally trained as a midwife led me to relocate my family from Canada to New Zealand in 2003. In 2005, I completed the Midwifery Degree at Otago Polytechnic. Since then I have worked as a midwife in Canada, in a small rural birthing centre, and as a hospital midwife. Since 2009, I have been a community midwife in Christchurch, New Zealand. I love supporting women for home births and water births. I have seen too many women paralyzed with fear during labour. I am very intrigued with this Ecstatic Birth Training and would love to encourage women to see the magic in birth.
About: I work as an independent midwife (the model we have here means women get continuity of care from the moment they find out they're pregnant throughout labour, birth and 6 weeks postnatally...all free!!!). I've also trained as a yonimapping therapist last year (best training ever!) and give sessions privately to women from home in my healing room. Through that work I've been stepping into shamanic healing (it's just coming through more and more) and combining it all with the ecstatic birth...what a potent cocktail!
About: Marzena is mother of two boys born in ecstasy. These experiences were so beautiful and strengthening, that a voice has been calling her since then. The voice of her soul to share her experience and knowledge, help women make their births stories about how to experience joy, ecstasy and magic in childbirth.

About: What called me to become a doula was my innate knowing that women thrive when they are able to express and embody their true nature. I love seeing women thrive and embrace motherhood when they feel empowered, well-informed and confident. My work as a doula honours and preserves the life force within all women. I believe that the mother’s state of mind and her well-being determine our health and reflect in the Nature around us.

About: Sacred Sensuality and Ecstatic Birth Coach
About: I’m a birth keeper, journeying with mothers- and fathers-to-be as they consciously prepare to transition into parenthood. I enlighten them with the power, confidence, sacredness, and deep respect that this rite of passage has always, and will always, merit. As I continue to learn from the wisdom of those I support, I inspire parents-to-be to take responsibility for their birth experience, armed with the truth that their bodies hold the blueprint for childbirth. I guide them towards preparing physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually for the birth of their baby and for the rebirth of themselves as ‘Mother’ or ‘Father’
About:  Doula, London, UK
About:  Manningford Abbots,  UK
About: Laguna Beach, CA
Jen discovered her passion for working with parents and families after the birth of her son in 2011. Her birth & postpartum experience left her feeling unsupported and her eyes were opened to the reality that we have a long way to go when it comes to our prenatal and postnatal care system here in the United States.
Her passion is to reconnect people to the original blueprint and foundation of holistic health, which is found in all indigenous cultures around the world, and what many holistic systems of health are based off of, such as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. These systems of health are inclusive to spiritual, psychological, emotional and physical well-being, and are passed on through generations of people who remember the ancient ways and the traditions of honoring the birthing process and helping parents to reconnect with the deep, innate wisdom that is held within our bodies.
She is passionate about sharing mind-body and alignment-based practices that help to shift the paradigm around experiencing birth from pain and fear to understanding that birth is a natural physiological process that is better left undisturbed, and when properly supported can be the most ecstatic experience of a person's life.  She shares her wisdom through mindset support, evidence-based education and sharing practices that align to this philosophy.
She supports individuals and families in embracing the journey and receiving the support that they require to not just survive but THRIVE!"

Collins, Morrison/Conifer, and surrounding suburbs.

About: My name is Jenny, and my three experiences with birthing my own babies are ultimately what has brought me here. I did not experience physically ecstatic birth and certainly had to work through my own fear, but the experience of naturally birthing my babies at home inspired me to help other women work through their fear and step into empowerment through the experience of birth.  I am creating an online business guiding women through personal healing and evolution in preparation for their birth experience (which I call the Sacred Birth experience). It has been an amazing experience for me, and it's through the creation of my program that I found Sheila and Ecstatic Birth. I'm so excited to expand my potential and my ability to share with my clients through what we will learn in this program. Thank you for providing us this opportunity!
