what i do . . .
With a background in birth work, energy work and holistic wellness, my offerings have expanded to doula’ing for moments not just bump to baby but from periods to parenting. My focus point has always been in the exploration of slowing down to define what feels like restoration. I now center this in all of my offerings as I see that it is truly the foundation to improving personal and collective wellness.
I offer helpful tools, suggestions and sharing but I am not here to tell you what to do. Instead, I am here to be with you and offer support to folks who want to be active in the caring for their whole self. Who want to break the cycle of burnout and return to the wisdom of rest. Who want to re/discover their homecoming paths. Here, I hope I can be a soft place for you to land as we practice slowing down together,
My education, experience and expertise have all culminated in a framework that centres :
Mindfulness
Connected Compassion + accountability
Somatic awareness + exploration
Radical self-love
I seek to disrupt the supported norms by approaching this work with deep intention and ancestral knowledge through a decolonised lens. I practice unconditional regard for where you are right now, meaning - whatever stage in life you are at, I will meet you there.
This kind of support could be the right fit for you if :
You desire to cultivate a more intentional relationship with yourself.
You want to unlearn and divest away from the toxicity of the dominant culture.
You seek non-judgemental, consistent + mindful support through transitions in life.
You want a safe + compassionate space to be seen and held, with the full complexness of your humanity invited.
You want the space to untangle thoughts -and explore, navigate and honour your choices and decisions.
You seek a more connected relationship with yourself and those around you.
You want holistic support outside of, or alongside the system, as you journey through pregnancy + postpartum + parenthood.
You want to unpack the internal oppressions and conforming standards that hold you back.
You want to end your burnout cycle and mend your relationship to rest.

Hi, I’m Leata-Mae
I’m a well-being facilitator and full spectrum birthworker guiding people to pause, soften and slow down. I’m here to remind you that it’s okay to redefine rest on your own terms - doing so might just drastically improve your overall well-being, maybe even your life.
That means this work is so much more than just ‘take naps’ but instead a deprogramming from all that you have known, so you can make room for more you. This work is deeply rooted in social justice and communal care and I hope to welcome you in on the journey.

I had a very high risk pregnancy and she armed me with the tools I needed to really take control of my birth and the rest of my pregnancy. Really recommend her!

Over several prenatal sessions, Leata-Mae helped us determine our birth preferences, taught us pain management techniques and gave me a relaxing reiki treatment. She was a fountain of information and emotional support and never judged our decisions —her guidance proved to be more valuable than a childbirth class we took earlier in the pregnancy.
