Welcome!
Birth Debriefing, Postpartum Care and Parenting Support
Kia ora! Hello!
My name is Kirsty Fernandes and I'm so glad that you're here!
You can learn more about me here.
In the meantime, take a look around and let me know if you feel called to be supported by me in your pregnancy, postpartum, birth debriefing or parenting journey.
Do you want to feel honoured and seen for all that you are and have gone through as a Māmā?
Our fertility, pregnancy and birth journeys are some of the biggest events in our lives - it requires us to be open, vulnerable and raw.
I will hold space for you to feel supported, seen and heard as you navigate this huge transition and rite of passage.
I offer:
-
Birth Debriefing - to process, heal and be heard in your birth experience.
-
Sacred Pregnancy Retreat Weekends - to reflect inwards and connect with your growing baby
-
Birth Affirmation cards - to foster a positive mindset through labour and birth
-
Nurtured Postpartum Workshops - plan and prepare for your holistic recovering in postpartum (the 4th trimester and beyond) which can speed up your recovery and reduce your risk of postpartum depression, anxiety or other postnatal mental health challenges
-
Empowered Parenthood Workshop - preparing and supporting your older children for the arrival of their sibling
-
Māmā Honouring Ceremonies - group, individual and custom ceremonies to mark transition and transformation, often including a sacred tuck in (closing of the bones)
-
Gift vouchers for the ultimate gift for a Māmā
Whether you are a first time or seasoned Māmā, became a Māmā 2 days ago or 25 years ago, or you have a woman in your life that you would like to honour, I am here for you.

Foster a strong connection with yourself, your children and within your family
