Welcome to The Journey into Motherhood, on this page you will find a directory of doulas - sherpas of the birth world! As with any Journey, an understanding of the landscape and climate, the people you may meet and cultural differences, and the possible hurdles you may encounter, will make for a more positive experience. This website is hosted by Catherine Bell, The Birth Cartographer and author of The Birth Map.

My mission is for all mothers to remember our innate medicine, and regard it as the most valuable resource on the planet. Through personal one-on-one coaching, I work with women from pre-conception through to postpartum to assist in the profound spiritual transition that is the birth of the mother. Together we will walk through traditions, resources and practices that return us to an understanding of the power of motherhood and care work. I work with women who are interested in using the rite of passage that is motherhood to remember her medicine, and her innate power.

Engaging Doula Birth can support clients in the Cooma area
Engaging Birth Doula Service was born from my desire to support women to engage with their body, their baby and their very own birth journey.
I aim to engage with women who want to make conscious decisions about their own birth journey. Decisions based on research, intentions, preferences, needs, wants and curiosities. I support women and their partners in a confident, secure, strong and gentle manner, whilst remaining honest and humble to the miracle that is pregnancy, birth and new life.
I love sharing and exploring the excitement and ecstasy (or perhaps apprehension and anxiety) that labour and birth can be.”
