Pregnancy, Birth and Post Natal Support
I am committed to bringing change and transformation to my clients in the best way possible. That is why I have combined some of the very best tools and techniques into these holistic counselling sessions.
I believe that support should focus on treating the whole person. Taking into consideration the interconnectedness between body, mind and spirit, and how disharmony in any area, whether it be emotional, spiritual, physical or mental, can impact on a persons overall well-being.
We will focus on more than just the symptoms, or isolated issues, as we find an integrated approach to support your social, physical and spiritual health. Using therapies like mindfulness, stress management and emotional support we will address the underlying imbalances to create a personalised plan that will align your unique needs.

Who am I?
My name is Shekinah Leigh and I run my own business in Northern NSW and on the Gold Coast called “Beautifully Wyld”.
I am a certified Counsellor, Marriage Celebrant, Massage Therapist, Shamanic Practitioner, Yoga Teacher (inc pregnancy and post natal), Childbirth and Young Girls ‘Coming of Age’ Mentor, and Retreat Facilitator, with many years of experience guiding Women’s Circles, Rites of Passage Rituals, Sacred Ceremony and Birth Work.
I also have over 20 years experience as a Kahuna Bodyworker & Massage Therapist, providing Pregnancy and Post Natal treatments. I have seen first hand, how accumulated trauma and emotional overwhelm can effect the body, impeding optimal birth outcomes and slowing down healthy recovery.
I believe that transformation comes from within and I love to help people become more conscious of their personal story, supporting a deeper exploration and awareness of self, so that each person can live the life that brings them joy and ease, in alignment with their Soul’s purpose!
Shekinah's Birth Story
After the birth of my own child, over 19 years ago, I realised that something wasn’t quite right. No-one had ever talked about the feelings of frustration, guilt and shame that I would feel after my birth didn’t go to plan after a cascade of unwanted interventions.
It took me 5 years before I understood that I had been traumatised by my experience and it was only then that I went on a quest to heal my Birthing Journey. One of the biggest things I learned was that it can take a Mother at least 2 years to fully integrate a natural, happy and healthy birth, but it can take so much longer if your experience felt challenging or traumatic in any way.
After many years of teaching and embodying this work, in collaboration with Rachel Di Re (The integrated Midwife), we have created a beautiful and powerful in-depth Birthing Program called ‘The Integrated Birthing Journey”. Formed from years of research, practical information, specialty teachings, and personal experience (both professional and private), it provides holistic support, encouraging a deeper understanding of birth as a ‘rite of passage’ to support women and mothers to embrace their birthing journey.
