Mama Shine Doula
About
Kia Ora. I’m Bekki,
As a mother of two, I know how it feels to prepare for birth and land in postpartum.
I love to nourish the mother in every sense; passionate about nourishment, breath and bodywork, connection and mental well-being, as well as practical support. I combine my history of work in healthcare and knowledge of women’s health and natural parenting to provide truly holistic support through Pregnancy, Birth and Postpartum. As a Doula I become a part of your village, walking beside you on your motherhood journey.
I’m passionate about providing women with the tools to not just survive the transition to motherhood but to thrive in it.
Every mother deserves to feel strong and supported and that’s exactly what I’m here for. So let’s begin...
What is a Doula?
A doula’s role is to become a part of your village, supporting you in your journey of pregnancy birth and postpartum. I provide emotional and physical support as well as helping to make sense of all the information that comes up during the process.
As a skilled, non-medical professional, I value the whole mother and the continuity of care and ensure the mother feels heard, supported and in control.

Reviews
I can’t recommend Bekki highly enough.
She supported me during the first few weeks after the birth of my second baby, and her visits quickly became something I looked forward to every week. While I originally thought I’d need help managing life with a newborn and an older child, what Bekki really gave me was the opportunity to be cared for myself. As my partner returned to work and the reality of life with two children settled in, her visits became a much-needed pocket of care each week.
From her incredible nourishing meals and help around the house to her beautiful bodywork and foot baths, every visit left me feeling relaxed, nourished, and pampered.
Bekki is kind, caring, and genuinely passionate about supporting mothers. She creates such a calm, supportive environment and has a real gift for helping you slow down and receive care.
I would recommend her to any mother. Her support made such a difference to my postpartum experience.

At 37 weeks, I have spent so much time preparing for the birth itself and not as much time thinking about the postpartum period. Bekki’s step by step plan has been the perfect introduction to help me consider what I would like my postpartum period to look like. Bekki dives into everything from hormone levels, foods for breastfeeding, emotional support, self care, and empowering the mother after the baby is born. There are extra tools such as a Village Building Booklet, to help harness your 21st century village, and helpful messages for guests that can be stuck to the front door or fridge. I have continued to add to my plan after our consultation and look forward to utilising it after the baby is born.

Bekki - I wanted to thank you for your support over the last couple of months. It’s been a huge transition and hard to even anticipate what that will feel like and what I need. You definitely made me feel heard and validated, and gave me some great luxury, nourishing food and well needed company in conversation. Thank you
