YOUR DOULA TEACHER

AUTUMN ryan

I am a birth, postnatal & Death doula, doula trainer & mentor, remedial therapist; with a special interest in pregnancy & post-natal care. I am also an infant massage instructor, reiki practitioner & yoga teacher. Along with being an oncology massage practitioner and end of life doula, I have also been running Autumn Retreat Thornbury since 2008.

I have been supporting families, as a doula, for over 12 years and the transition to teacher came naturally, after spending years being mentored and assisting the founder of Dial a Doula, Sunderai. As with my doula clients, I aim to hold space for you, as a student, to empower and inform you, so you in turn you can empower birthing women and families.

I am a daughter, a sister, a mum to a beautiful son, Griffin and a very proud aunty to 4 lively nephews & 1 brand new neice. I am so lucky to be surrounded by the most supportive family, who i am deeply grateful for.

I know how important support is and I am honoured to have been able to support so many families along the way.

Aside from holding babies (which I’ve been doing since I could sit up), holding space as a doula and as a teacher is where my heart feels the happiest. I look forward to guiding you through your journey to become a Doula.
