Sylvia Lauris
I am a birth doula based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara/Wellington focussing on standing beside māmā as they experience the rite of passage of birth. I believe birth is a natural everyday event that is also an incredible phenomenon. I am passionate about the power women hold to move through life events like birth. I would be honoured to stand next to you.
My beliefs about birth, and life, are centred around the teachings of Masanobu Fukuoka and the idea that most often when we think we know how to solve 'problems' we end up creating other new 'problems' that we think need solving and on and on and on. Processes like birth, among other things, have evolved over millennia so why meddle ?
I am a highly experienced veggie gardener and cook and love to integrate these things within my mahi, offering māra and kai based packages to suit your whanau!
