For the woman who knows there’s another way.
You've always been drawn to the deeper currents. You sense that becoming a mother is meant to be more than just managing the practical aspects of early parenthood. You know this is a sacred threshold, a profound rite of passage that deserves reverence, ritual, and intentional support.
Yet you find yourself feeling disconnected. Isolated. Like you're missing something essential in the conventional approach to motherhood.
Trust your intuition.
In our fast-paced world, we've gradually moved away from the village wisdom, the sacred practices, the understanding that a woman's journey into motherhood is one of life's most powerful initiations. These practices still exist—they're simply waiting to be remembered.
Meet Rebecca Bee Gunson
Your Post Partum Guide
As a Dance Movement Therapist, Postpartum Doula, and Sound Ceremonialist, Rebecca believes that becoming a mother is one of life's most profound rites of passage—one that deserves to be honoured with the same reverence given to this sacred transition throughout history.
Her work weaves together professional training with ancestral wisdom, creating supportive containers where mothers can access both evidence-based care and time-tested healing practices.
Her Journey to This Work
Rebecca's path has been guided by a deep love of birth, sacred spaces, and the power of reclaiming ancestral wisdom. What started as curiosity about traditional healing practices led her across oceans to train directly with Mayan midwives in Guatemala and Mexico, where she learned that supporting women through transformation is both an art and a sacred responsibility.

Doula Services
Step into motherhood feeling supported, nourished, and integrated. Our postpartum doula services recognise that true recovery encompasses your physical healing, emotional wellbeing, and the profound identity shifts of becoming a mother. Through time-honoured practices like womb massage and Mayan abdominal therapy, sacred wrapping ceremonies, yoni steaming, and personalised healing rituals, we create the conditions for your optimal transformation and thriving.
-
Body Work
Our dance Movement Therapy sessions and events, offered both individually and in supportive group settings, invite you to explore healing through the wisdom of your body. As you move mindfully and intuitively, you'll naturally experience stress relief, develop greater emotional awareness, and restore balance to both your nervous system and your physical posture. This practice becomes a powerful tool for self-inquiry and creative expression, allowing emotions to move through you rather than becoming stuck.
-
Voice Work
Reclaim the power of your voice through healing-focused Voice Work sessions that honour singing as an ancient form of medicine for mothers. Explore how your voice can shift energy, create group harmony, and provide your baby with comforting familiarity. Singing naturally elevates mood, provides emotional expression, deepens baby bonding, supports pelvic floor recovery, and fosters community connections that counter early motherhood isolation.
Are we a good fit?
You're spiritually connected. You've explored wellness practices, perhaps meditation, yoga, or alternative healing. You understand that there are layers to healing beyond what conventional medicine offers.
You feel the disconnection. Despite all the baby apps and parenting advice, something feels hollow about the way motherhood is presented. You're lonely, even when surrounded by people. You know there should be more depth to this experience.
You're drawn to a different approach. The standard "get on with it" mentality doesn't resonate with you. You're looking for approaches that honour your deeper needs. You're open to exploring something more creative and consciousness-based.
You want to create positive change. You're interested in healing inherited patterns and creating new possibilities for your family. You want to mother from a place of awareness and intention, bringing your full presence to this journey.
You're ready to do the work. You understand that transformation requires effort, intention, and stepping beyond comfort zones. You're not looking for quick fixes—you want transformational change.
If this sounds like you, I think we’ll be a great fit.
Whether you're participating in one-on-one sessions, online programs, or community events, these foundations shape how we work with you:
Sacred Practices & Rituals
Practices that connect you to the deeper rhythms of life, that honour your transformation as the sacred passage it is. Ancient ceremonies adapted for modern mothers who hunger for meaning.
Holding Space
Not just emotional support—though that's part of it. We hold energetic, spiritual space for your becoming. We see the magnitude of what you're experiencing and create containers strong enough to support your full transformation.
Collective & Village Intelligence
You weren't meant to mother alone. We’ll help you to build your village with access to wise women, shared knowledge, community events and the sense of wellbeing and safety that comes from community rather than isolation.
Feminine Embodiment
Reconnecting with your body's wisdom, your intuitive intelligence, your creative power. Moving beyond the mind-dominated approach to mothering and into the full spectrum of feminine knowing.
Holistic Systems Thinking
Understanding that your wellbeing affects your children, your family, your community. When you heal and thrive, the ripple effects are profound. This is conscious mothering that serves the collective evolution.
