I’ve been learning about engine breaks and waste water disposal and road user charges and parking legalities…

We got a campervan and have hit the road for the summer! Mother Daughter Duo…

When Iyla came home from America, there was a change between us. A new meeting of each other as women.
So here we are, two women, on the road!
For this season…

That moment, after the arrival, where you cuddle up together and bathe in the love bubble.

Looking forward to sharing ‘s beautiful birth story.

I love to remember the days in lockdown when you were learning to sew.
“Help me put a zip in” you said.
“I don’t know how to sew” I said.
“Just sit beside me and we can figure it out together” you said.

Finally home after a life adventure! (Literally)
Was welcomed at the doorway by these new blossoms!
Marigolds, they stay open in the dark.

I have completed the one year cycle that frames my book I’ve been writing over this past year cycle.

I don’t know how to do it- write a book I mean.
Yet, it’s coming.
I keep staying open in the dark and it’s kinda writing itself.

The next Labour of Love Doula Training starts again in July 2026. There are 7 spaces available.

“Soup”, my in person Writing Circle details will be out this week! (Bay of Plenty)

It’s so great to be home! ❤️

Brave knowing women
We walk together into the night
Dirt lingers on our faces and thighs
What is touched can never be forgotten.
I’m made of embers that glow quietly through the dark months, and years
I’ve stayed just enough alive to know when to rage into morning light
I’m made of birth and death over and over, membranes and blood hold and release us
My grandmothers bones clink from her unmarked grave, like a grand applause
“Keep walking, keep walking”…

Testimonial from a family that I had the pleasure to support 🌷

I am landing back in the Bay of Plenty next month. My books are open for Doula Support locally. I am still open to travelling support, and offer a special “live in” package.

Email info@motherscircle.co.nz to enquire.

I’ve just completed a 10-day “live-in” doula placement in the Far North.
Wrap-around, holistic support — in the days leading up to birth, through the birth itself, and into the tender postpartum — allows a mother’s well to remain full. It means she is nourished, resourced, and held during one of the most foundational changes of her life.

The long drive home today felt like all the pieces of life falling gently back into place.
Over the past year, I’ve spent many weeks “living in” — welcomed into homes at their most vulnerable and beautiful moments. I’ve sat at kitchen tables, learned the rhythm of each household, and become part of their world for a short while.

It’s been a huge privilege and a profound teacher.
I’m coming home inspired…

If you would like to chat about “live in” support worldwide, or enquire about standard birth support in the North Island, please email me info@motherscircle.co.nz

The Labour of Love is not just a doula training, it’s a HOMECOMING.

A space for those ready to walk beside birth, beside Mothers — and beside themselves — with deep presence and reverence.

The next round of Labour of Love begins July 2026. With only 10 spaces available, book your spot asap!

Kia Ora!

I am Sophia, mama of two joyous beings, Childbirth Educator, Doula, Bath Connoisseur, Truth Seeker & Speaker!

For over a decade my work has been focused around empowering women to take ownership of their pregnancy, birth and Mothering journey, guiding them to discover, explore and trust their own inner knowing and innate capacities.

I am passionate about celebrating and valuing the rites of passage as women and fostering support and understanding instead of cheapening the experience with outside influences or competition.

These are sacred times for transformation!
