Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support
This includes miscarriage, early birth, termination, stillbirth or a baby dying after birth.
A compassionate space to be held through the tenderness of loss.
Hayley offers physical, emotional, and spiritual support during and after the loss of a baby. Each experience is unique, and the care you receive will be gently tailored to your individual needs.
Support may include time for conversation by phone or in person, comfort and care within your home, or space to share and process your experience. Together, we can talk through your birth options if the timing allows, support you in communicating with family or children, and create meaningful ways to honour your journey.
Womb connection practices such as gentle massage, meditation, journalling, or guided visualisation are offered to help your body and heart integrate the experience.
Bodywork and ceremonial support is also available, including belly binding, planting or honouring ceremonies, closing the bones or a private honouring circle to mark this passage with tenderness and reverence.
However your journey unfolds, Hayley is here to hold you with presence, care, and deep respect for your story.
Hayley personally experienced the early birth (miscarriage) of one of her children so understands the importance of supportive, gentle love and care during this vulnerable time. Sadly, she has also supported many women in her community who have experienced the loss of a baby.
Please reach out to discuss the type of support that you need for yourself or your loved one.
Pregnancy and Infant Loss Ceremonial Circle
This type of ceremonial style circle is a sacred space to gather around a mother who is grieving the loss of her baby. Those invited into the space should be the most supportive women in her life that she feels the safest with.
The intention for the circle is to be a vessel of love for her.
It is an opportunity to witness the mother and welcome her into a loving space where her feelings, thoughts and emotions are welcomed.
It is a time for loved ones to express the strength that they see in the mother and any words of hope they wish to share.
Each circle is created uniquely to the wishes of the woman and/or her loved ones and is best held when the mother feels ready to be held and witnessed.
This circle can also include closing the bones (body wrapping) to honour her body’s experience of pregnancy and birth, please add an extra $50 to the below fee if you wish to include this ritual.
Cost: $350 (travel feels may incur dependant on location)
Olive & Kin - Custom urns for bereaved parents
Hayley’s beautiful friend Hannah created Olive & Kin in 2023 when she needed an urn for her daughter Olive and couldn’t find anything she felt was right, so she made her one. Since then Hannah has found working with clay to be a kind of therapy and has helped her grieve, process and heal.
Hannah has continued to make urns for other families in need, 100% of the profit from all sales in the shop go straight towards the cost of making and getting urns to those in need. They accept donations from the community and by doing so they’re able to make urns free for those who have experienced pregnancy and infant loss.
