Devotional Birth Support
Dear wild mama,
I'm here for your dreamiest, most awe-inspiring birth - the kind of birth that comes from your wildest dreams. But of course... that's what makes you a wild mama. You didn't come here to follow a neat and landscaped path created for all... you came here to walk one that truly feels like it's yours. You know that forging your own path requires dedication and willpower and that's why you surround yourself with people who back you. It's my honour to serve you.
Love Caitlin Xx

Is this for me?
This is for you if you are hungry to step into your primal feminine power. Wild Mamas learn to speak their fears and desires; question their conditioning; explore their patterns and leave no stone unturned. They are real, honest and raw. They trust their intuition. They know their body; their boundaries and their worth.
Inside you, lives a
Wild Mama
Embodying your inner Wild Mama requires you to do the work to trust yourself and to feel safe and confident in your body and your intuition.
You have to learn the truth about birth and understand how the body works.
Shame that’s been stored in your body for decades needs to be released.
Stories you’ve been told need to be examined and rewritten.
Your fears have to be confronted and released.
You must take ownership of your sexuality.
You have to build enough confidence in your intuition so that it doesn’t get silenced by other people’s opinions.
You have to asses how you perceive and frame situations; and where you put your energy and focus. (Do you tend to slip into woe and defeat? Can you lift yourself out of a hole? Do you actively search for silver linings, lessons and blessings?)
You have to work on your sense of worthiness and give yourself permission to have a joyful birth (even if you feel it’s unfair on other women).
You have to learn to ask for help… and to receive it.
You also have to be able to assert your boundaries and say ‘no’ (including saying ‘no’ to your sweet-hearted neighbour who’s only trying to help; to your partner’s mum; even to your doula, midwife or OB/GYN).
Patterns and belief systems that you’ve carried around for years need to be carefully reviewed.
Patterns and beliefs you’ve inherited from your family need to be assessed.
It’s deep and delicate work and it requires tenderness and radical compassion.
What does it look like?
Pregnancy
Over our time together, you'll be supported with birth education as well as physical, emotional, mental and spiritual preparation.
Some days we might go over logistical questions about your birth, work through fears or write your birth preferences. Some days we might sit with a cuppa and chat about what’s been on your mind while I massage essential oils into your legs. Some days I might show your partner, if you have one, how to support you during labour and go through tips, tricks and techniques for your special day. Other days, I may lead you on a gentle movement session to nourish your body; sooth your nervous system and deepen your connection with your baby.
You’ll also receive resources to inform and inspire you - book recommendations, articles, videos, documentaries, podcasts, positive birth stories, meditations and labour preparation techniques.
Once your labour begins, I will come to you and remain with you throughout your labour and birth.
I will attend to your needs throughout your labour. My role is to keep you and your partner, if you have one, feeling comfortable, confident, nourished and nurtured. I will help create a sacred and cosy bubble around you (and your partner) so that you can be present and enjoy the experience without being interrupted by the outside world. I can liaise with your midwife/obstetrician and advocate for you when you're in the zone and too busy to speak.
Once your baby is born, I will stay until you are settled in and ready to enjoy some private bonding as a family.

Here's where you're headed
You look forward to your birthing day in confidence...
You feel a deep trust in the ancient magic of birth, the power of womanhood and the wisdom of your body. You know you're a wild force of nature; designed perfectly to birth your baby. You feel connected, excited, in awe and at peace.
You connect deeply with your body and your baby...
You prioritise yourself and take time to enjoy this limited portal you're in; not taking it for granted; not missing any precious moments; not putting other people's needs before your own.
The birthing room moves to your sacred rhythm in quiet reverence...
You have claimed all that you're worthy of. Support is there because you've learned how to receive. Everyone moves to your needs.
You're in a poetic relationship with your pregnancy and birth...
Every challenge and unexpected plot twist is met with soft curiosity and wild courage because you know that life is always happening for you, not to you... You move through every initiation with grace and you hold that curiosity long enough to see the lessons land and your heart soars with gratitude for the magic of your life. Everything is perfect. Everything.
You lovingly nurture yourself with profound tenderness and respect...
You self-mother and treat yourself with the utmost care.
You move as a new mother with ease and confidence in yourself...
You naturally model self love, self worth and self confidence to your child because you've done the work to claim it for yourself. Motherhood feels natural.

Birth Doula, Ritualist, devotee of the feminine
CAITLIN ERICA
Hello, I’m Caitlin,
I was 7 years old when I first went to a Birth Centre. I was about to become an Aunty again. I distinctly remember registering that I was in a place of miracles. A sense of reverence overcame me.
I returned to that birth centre several times over the course of my childhood (I’ve got 19 nieces and nephews) and each time I’d go straight to the large photo album that lived under the table in the waiting room and study every graphic image. I was in total awe of what I saw. Over the years I would beg my sisters to let me watch them birth. Even when they weren’t pregnant, I’d try to plant the idea in their heads for the future. I was 20 when I was invited into the sacred space of birth for the birth of my nephew. I completed my training as a Birth Doula a decade later in 2019. It was along time coming but I had many life lessons to learn first.
Still, I had more lessons to come...
Shortly after receiving my certification; my spiritual teacher, Sal, prepared me: "I don't think you're going to start taking on birthing clients right away. There's more life wants to teach you about birth that no doula school is teaching. The path is going to be seemingly unrelated but please - please - trust the path because I promise you, wherever life leads you next will be absolutely, 100% connected to birthwork." Fast-forward to a few weeks later, while my heart longed to be jolted awake at 3am to go squeeze the hips of a labouring woman, Spirit instead told me to become a dancer of the erotic. "The women there have access to something you don't. They are you next teachers." It insisted.
After much resistance, I followed the call, trembling; unsure of what life wanted to show me about birth from the dimly lit clubs I had previously avoided.
I came to see just how repressed the feminine is in our society; how much shame is projected onto the female reproductive organs. I watched the dancers - embodied women who were rebellious enough to walk their chosen path and I thought to myself "I want to watch these women give birth." I foresaw them having active births, the birthing energy able to move freely through their unshackled bodies; I foresaw their confidence to command their needs, desires and boundaries.
I came to see that this world is not afraid of birth; it is afraid of the feminine in her full raging, unapologetic power. And the way to make birth safe is to make women safe in their Goddess-given power.
I realised if I wanted to support birth: I had to reach women long before they're even thinking of becoming pregnant - and help them release shame and reclaim the parts of their wild nature they'd been taught to deny.
As a birthkeeper, I am here to guard, protect and serve the sacredness of birth, birthing women, their partners and the children coming through. Birth is an incredible right of passage and I believe that the way we birth matters.
When I’m not supporting families in the realm of birth, I’m offering events and programs for women around embodiment, dance, feminine reclamation and the celebration of womanhood.
TESTIMONIAL
“I felt very safe to share… Caitlin reminded us of our agency, voicing for our needs and wants, and bringing us back to our body's intuition.”
— Vanae, Berlin DEU
“Caitlin, Not sure how to begin to thank you. Your persistent emotional support and encouragement took me on the journey I needed to undergo, in order to have the beautiful birth I did. It truly was the birth of my dreams. Your role in it was invaluable, from your dedication throughout the pregnancy, to your help and support during the labour and birth. Because of your help, Julian was brought into this world in the most peaceful, tranquil way. We will be forever grateful. xxx”
— Danielle, Giovanni and baby Julian, Australia
“Thank you Caitlin for showing me to trust my instincts and thank you for standing by me when others didn’t. You helped keep me strong when I thought I had no hope left. ♥️ Trusting you, I felt secure and light. I really found a friend in you in the end and I feel very blessed. We are grateful for you. You’re in our lives forever now. X”

“As a single woman working full time and expecting my first baby, I was feeling overwhelmed, anxious, nervous and isolated due to having no family here and hardly any friends with children. I had just gone through an unexpected and traumatic relationship breakdown when I first met Caitlin.
Caitlin provided me with vast amounts of emotional support. I felt validated and heard. She provided understanding and acceptance of my situation and helped me to see alternative perspectives. She was able to help me reframe thoughts feelings and emotions when necessary and assisted me to move through episodes of feeling stuck and overwhelmed. She provided me with multiple resources and referral sources which I found really helpful. Her knowledge of pregnancy and childbirth, and her gentle and holistic approach to both were exactly what I needed. She also provided me with stress-relieving sessions including wonderful leg and foot massages with essential oils. When I was ready to go in to labour she chose oils known to induce labour and I went in to labour that same day!
Working with Caitlin made me feel safe, and less anxious during my pregnancy. Her support was invaluable to me, and having 7 regular sessions before the birth helped us to develop and lovely relationship together, so that when it was time for me to give birth I felt totally secure with her there. Caitlin advocated for me during my birth, which was a time that I would not have been able to myself!! She helped to ensure that my wishes were met as much as possible, and provided both emotional support and coaching for me and utilised physical comforts during labour. She came thoughtfully equipped with food for my mum who had travelled to Australia to be my birth partner. I am so grateful to have had Caitlin’s support throughout pregnancy, birth and becoming a mum, and would have had a much less positive journey without her. I would highly recommend Caitlin to any pregnant women, you will not regret having her support.”
— Bibi and baby Kitty, Australia
“‘Lucie, it sounds like you know exactly what you want and what you need’ - those were Caitlin's words, and the words I needed to hear. I took a big breath, put both of my hands on my 4-months old growing belly, and felt a deep sense of peace. I felt empowered, I felt prepared, I felt clear.
Before my first session with Caitlin, I had met with a few experienced doulas and could not really figure out their roles in the pregnancy or birth process. All the conversations felt pretty esoteric and at times, even confusing. It just didn't click.
And then came Caitlin... with her soft voice, her wise words, and her ability to truly listen. I was entering a safe space to share and open up.
Caitlin, you helped me envision my dream birth. You helped me identify my beliefs, my fears and most importantly my needs. You reminded me that, all my life, I have been in training for motherhood.
Thanks to your support and guidance, I felt a deep sense of trust”
— Lucie and baby Alayna, Thailand
“Caitlin supported my husband and I through the birth of our last baby. It was on a whim that I reached out to her, after not finding anyone who was local and felt right to me, I decided to try one last person and risked it by choosing someone not local. But when I saw her website I just knew she was right for us, for me, for this birth and also for my future.
Caitlin is a beautiful soul. She is caring and loving and open, and we instantly felt at ease in her presence. She was able to help us through some pent up feelings around our first child’s traumatic birth, leaving us open and trusting to the process.
At showtime Caitlin was quietly supportive, like an old friend. And afterwards she gleamed with pride at my strength and courage.
Caitlin was a pivotal part of my third and last birth being so utterly amazing. I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is truly a beautiful soul whose purpose on earth is to light others up. I’m so glad I met her.
I still learn from her every day. I know had I met her earlier my relationship to myself, to my husband, to my births and motherhood and life in general would be so different in a positive way. I’m utterly grateful for where I’m at today and the life I’ve led, but I’m also so grateful for the changes Caitlin has evoked, and will continue to evoke, within me.”
— Rachel, Nathan and baby Blair, Australia
“Caitlin really helped me to see the birth in a positive way; as something I was looking forward to. She strengthened me as a woman and showed me that I was capable and strong enough to deliver my beautiful baby.”
— Veronika and baby Milo, Germany
“Sharing my birth story with Caitlin was very helpful and valuable for me. She listened to me speak about my experience and helped me view my story in an empowering way. She provided me with some new insights and aspects to my experience that I had not myself realized, and how it was impacting my postpartum mindset and behaviour. She also gave me some useful tips and advice on how to incorporate mindfulness into motherhood. I feel more confident taking on my new role as a mother after my session with Caitlin. Our conversation was nonjudgmental, supportive, insightful, and comfortable. I fully recommend her postpartum / birth story session to any new parent.”
— Sólveig, Germany
