Our story

Birth Classes
Midwife Support
Pregnancy Care
arrow

BirthSpace was founded in 2019 by a midwife and doula, who came together with a shared reverence for the physical, emotional and spiritual transformation that is the rite of passage to parenthood. BirthSpace was created to directly address the birth trauma epidemic and inequities in reproductive care.

Industrialised birthing practices run to a strict schedule, ignoring the individual experience and thousands of years of birthing wisdom. We know reproductive care requires nuance, this is why we brought together midwifery and doula knowledge and experiences to bridge the gaps between scientific, spiritual and cultural realms of this journey. BirthSpace strikes a balance between evidence-based information, intuitive body-based work and ancient knowledge to create inclusive and safe spaces to learn and connect.

Our workshops, community gatherings and individual consultations are affirming and supportive of all experiences, cultures, sexualities, genders and abilities. We want this community to see you, represent you and support you. We have experienced first-hand, that healing and empowerment through pregnancy, birth and parenthood is a not only possible but essential to a thriving community. Together we can build a birthing culture that honours, respects and ignites us all. 

BirthSpace now has a team of midwives, educators and researchers offering education, midwifery care and consultation for the perinatal period.
