Your Story Matters

Navigating Birth, Trauma, Loss and Healing

Guiding Women through Pre-conception, Birth and Postpartum

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.
— Maya Angelou

Birth changes us.

Whether your journey was filled with joy, grief, empowerment, loss, trauma, or uncertainty, the experiences we carry through pregnancy, birth, and motherhood shape us in ways that often remain unseen.

Yet so many women are left holding these stories alone.

Perhaps you've been told, "At least you have a healthy baby." Perhaps you've buried your grief beneath the demands of motherhood, convinced it's time to move on. Or perhaps you're preparing for another pregnancy while quietly carrying fear from the last.

You deserve more than survival.

You deserve to have your story witnessed.

At the heart of my work is the belief that healing begins when we are deeply heard without judgement, without rushing, and without trying to fix what simply needs to be honoured.

I offer compassionate support for women navigating birth trauma, pregnancy and infant loss, difficult reproductive journeys, and the emotional preparation for future births. Together we gently unravel the experiences that continue to live within your body and nervous system, creating space for understanding, integration, and healing.

My approach blends lived experience, birth knowledge, trauma-informed care, and deep listening to help you reconnect with yourself and your own inner wisdom.

Because birth is not simply an event.

It is an initiation.

And every woman deserves to emerge from that threshold feeling seen, supported, and whole.

Meet Miranda

Hi, I’m a mother, wife, doula, and certified Healing Birth practitioner. For nearly 20 years I have been involved in the world of birth in various ways, through my own experiences of pregnancy, losses and births, and through supporting other women as they walk their paths to motherhood. I believe birth can be a life-affirming and transformative experience. We are profoundly changed as women each time we enter and move through the pregnancy, birth and postnatal thresholds. I feel honoured to hold space for women in these spaces, and I am deeply passionate about this work.

A Place Where Your Experience Is Honoured

Whether your story happened six weeks ago or sixteen years ago, there is no expiry date on healing.

You may be carrying birth trauma, miscarriage, stillbirth, termination, IVF grief, postnatal struggles, or simply a lingering feeling that something important was lost along the way. Whatever you bring, it will be met with compassion.

This is a space where your emotions are welcome.

Where your memories are valid.

Where your healing matters.

Because when a woman heals, the ripple extends far beyond herself—to her children, her relationships, and the generations that follow.

You don't have to carry your story alone anymore.

Unravelling Your Birth Experience

What we experience when we give birth is profound and can change us forever. Perhaps you experienced a birth which you found traumatic; recently, or years ago. You may be suffering with negative feelings and memories of that time in your life. There is no timeline when we are processing trauma, or grief. 

  • Experiencing trauma in the birth space can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disappointed, angry, anxious, guilty, ashamed, or disconnected from yourself. You may be struggling with intrusive memories, fear around future births, difficulties with bonding or breastfeeding, or a lingering sense that something important was lost.

    Often, new mothers hear phrases like “at least you have a healthy baby” from well-meaning family and friends. While intended to comfort, these words can unintentionally dismiss the depth of what you experienced. As motherhood takes over, your own healing can be pushed aside as you tend to others needs, before your own.

    Healing after birth trauma is deeply courageous work. When you heal yourself, the effects ripple outward into your relationships, your motherhood journey, and your family as a whole. You deserve support, care, and the opportunity to feel whole again.

    These sessions offer a safe, compassionate space to gently revisit and process your birth story and any associated trauma. Together, we work to unravel the layers of trauma, grief, and emotion held within the experience, helping you move toward healing, clarity, and peace.

Healing After Loss

Are you seeking support for the emotional impact of loss, stillbirth, miscarriage, abortion, termination or IVF-related trauma? Whether your loss is recent or happened many years ago, grief has a way of staying with us. Experiencing loss changes you profoundly.

  • There is no “right” way to grieve, and there is no timeline for healing. 

    Loss in the motherhood and birth space can bring deep sadness, shock, anger, guilt, numbness, anxiety, or a feeling of isolation. You may be grieving the loss of a baby, a pregnancy, a birth experience you hoped for, or the version of yourself and your life that existed before. Grief can also show up in unexpected ways — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

    Often, people around you do not fully understand the depth of this kind of loss. Well-meaning comments can leave you feeling unseen, dismissed, or pressured to move forward before you are ready. Healing from loss does not mean forgetting. It means learning how to carry your grief with tenderness, while reconnecting with yourself, your strength, and your capacity for hope and peace again. 

  • What does a Healing after loss session with me involve?

    This 1:1 session is a 2-hour Zoom call designed to provide support as you process the often unsupported emotional impact of miscarriage, stillbirth, loss, abortion, termination or IVF trauma. 

    I will create a compassionate space for you to share your loss experience, explore your emotions and gently navigate your healing journey at your own pace. These sessions are centred around being deeply heard, supported and honoured in your experience. I will offer reflections, tools and supportive practices that may help you process grief, reconnect with yourself and honour your loss. 

    ​I will send you a follow up email containing a personalised summary of our conversation within 48 hours of our session which covers the key takeaways and any of the tools and resources that were discussed.

Planning your Healing Birth

Are you looking to have another child and want to plan for a different experience than you previously had? After a difficult or traumatic birth experience, preparing to give birth again can bring up fear, anxiety, grief or uncertainty. You may be longing for a different experience this time.

  • You might have a clear idea of how you want your next birth to look, but not be able to navigate the system to find the support you want. Our current maternity systems can be challenging to navigate.

    This session is a supportive and empowering session designed to help you navigate the system and prepare mentally, emotionally and practically for your next birth. Your partner is very welcome to join us in this session, although this isn’t essential. We will work together to create a pathway towards a more positive and potentially healing birth.

    Please note that an Unravelling your birth experience session is required prior to booking a Planning your healing birth session. Processing and understanding your previous birth experience creates an important foundation for deeper healing and more intentional preparation for your upcoming birth. 

    I offer a discounted rate of $320 when you book both these sessions together. 

  • What does a Planning your healing birth session with me involve?

    This 1:1 session is a 2-hour Zoom call designed to provide a practical and supportive pathway towards your next birth.

    I will create a compassionate space for you to share how you have been since our Unravelling your birth story session. We will discuss your hopes, your fears and look at the practicalities of where you plan to birth and who will be there. I will share information with you about birthing physiology and how you and those around you can support this. Common interventions and how to avoid unnecessary ones will be discussed along with your rights and responsibilities. I will support you with creating a birth and postpartum plan and provide you with tools and resources to support your preparation. 

    ​I will send you a follow up email containing a personalised summary of our conversation within 48 hours of our session which covers the key takeaways and any of the tools and resources that were discussed.

Inherited Release Method (IRM)

The inherited release method (IRM) is an energetic healing modality that works with your body, mind and ancestral memories to clear energetic patterns that have been passed down to you in this lifetime. IRM was developed by Elizabeth Brown and is informed by a wide range of powerful scientific understandings of trauma, the nervous system and epigenetic and intergenerational trauma. 

  • Epigenetic studies now show us that cellular memories from previous generations are able to be detected scientifically in current generations. This work is no longer in the realm of the mystical - it is a tangible and powerful healing modality.  IRM blends the science of epigenetics with body-led energy work to address these inherited imprints at their root. It can help clear imprints from the past that you were never meant to carry today.

    As women we hold so many ancestral, cellular memories from the women who have come before us. The women who lived, loved, birthed, and lost. The women who have held space for so much through their lives. The ancestors who survived and passed their memories, good and bad, along to us. In IRM healing we feel much of this resonance in the womb space. 

    This modality requires a willingness to engage in energetic healing. It can provide much support to women going through fertility or loss journeys. It’s a way to feel lighter and more connected to yourself. Healing via this modality is not about reliving the past, it is about releasing the weight of it so you can move forward with greater freedom.

  • What does an IRM session with me involve?

    This 1:1 session is a 1 - hour in person session or it can be done online via a Zoom call. Energetic healing has no boundaries. 

    I will identify stored emotions and beliefs that are asking to be cleared during our session and I track them back to where they began. These may come from your own life, your family line or beyond. This is done using a muscle testing modality called kinesiology. Once I have identified what is coming up for you I will use acupressure, energetic mapping and guided release work to gently support your nervous system to let go of what no longer belongs there. 

    In an IRM session your body sets the pace, and will only release what feels safe to release. This can take a few sessions of work to really drop into the space of safely to release what needs to go. It is recommended to have a series of 4-6 sessions, paced a week apart.

What Clients Say

  • “The session gave me not only a life long held emotional release but also a renewed connection to myself.”

    I want to thank you for holding such a powerful and supportive space during my inherited release session. On the table, I experienced a profound process where my spirit self came through your energy and, through my womb, and reconnected with me. This felt deeply significant, especially given that in 2/3 months I will undergo a full hysterectomy.

    During the session, I was brought back to a vision I had 8–9 years ago. In that vision, I saw my soul-self before entering this life. She had turned away right before she was to drop into my body because of the trauma I was to endure in my early years. At that time, I actually didn’t realise or fully see that she had refused to come through my mother’s womb. In our session, I came to understand she had been holding herself back all this time — and through your IRM facilitation, she finally came through and dropped into my body. It felt like a soul retrieval!

    This reconnection was incredibly moving. Though intense, the session allowed me to meet and release her held pain with your compassion and support with IRM.

    I left with a deeper sense of integration and the knowing that healing will continue to unfold in layers. The session gave me not only a life long held emotional release but also a renewed connection to myself.

    Thank you again for guiding me through such a beautiful and transformative integration via IRM.

    With gratitude, Tania

  • “I felt a huge relief after our session and felt validated for the first time since my baby was born.”

    Miranda held space for me to be vulnerable about my birth trauma, she made me feel comfortable, safe and supported the entire time. She radiates warmth, care and empathy; I felt uplifted, understood and nurtured by her presence, her words, and her understanding. I felt a huge relief after our session and felt validated for the first time since my baby was born. I still have healing to do but I am now equipped to manage this with the tools Miranda shared, and with how my mindset has shifted to a more positive space since our session. I am deeply grateful to have had this opportunity and I highly recommend Miranda.

  • “The nuts and bolts of the process aside, she’s a wonderfully down to earth, good natured person who is resolutely focussed on supporting her clients.”

    As an Australian, the idea of engaging a doula was certainly foreign to me, however my Husband and I cannot imagine having gone through the birth of our daughter without Miranda’s guidance and help.  It was clear from our first meeting that she knew her stuff and was free from any particular agenda other than to make our experience as informed and smooth as it could be.  Her assistance navigating the nuances of the Singaporean hospital system was invaluable, and during the labour - while nurses and the obstetrician were very task focussed - she remained entirely focussed on me and my experience without getting in the way of it; committed to ensuring that I was informed, relaxed, and proactively making me aware of what was happening in real time. 

    The nuts and bolts of the process aside, she’s a wonderfully down to earth, good natured person who is resolutely focussed on supporting her clients through their pregnancy and having a few laughs along the way! I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

  • "She helped prepare me mentally and emotionally for delivery and while I was in labor, she was my coach and friend."

    Before giving birth, I didn't realise how pregnancy, labor, and postpartum are so interconnected. Miranda ensured that each of these phases went smoothly and as I wanted. She helped prepare me mentally and emotionally for delivery and while I was in labor, she was my coach and friend.  She individualised her breastfeeding advice for both my and my baby's needs. I'm so grateful for such a positive pregnancy, birth, and bonding time with my baby. I know it couldn't have happened without Miranda's work!

    A and Baby N

  • "Like my husband said "I don't know how we would have done that without her!"

    If it wasn't for Miranda I don't think I could have delivered my second baby naturally. Anytime time I was struggling, she was very encouraging. She knew just what to say while at the same time when to not say too much. Looking back at 20+ hours of labor and 1.5 hours of pushing, Miranda was there every step of the way...giving advice, encouraging me, rubbing my back, and adding some comic relief when needed. I wish I was having my next baby here in Singapore so I could use Miranda as my doula again. Like my husband said "I don't know how we would have done that without her!"

    M,  Z and Baby P  (VBAC birth)

  • "We had a long labour and a breech birth, and Miranda’s calm presence was there to guide us throughout with constant support. "

    We could not have made it through without Miranda. As first time parents living abroad we had no idea what to expect. Miranda was knowledgeable about the practices and procedures of the local hospitals and her advice was invaluable for creating our birth plan. We had a long labour and a breech birth, and Miranda’s calm presence was there to guide us throughout with constant support. THANKYOU!
