somatics for birth, movement & change
“be brave by being soft.”
— Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen
I’m Kirilly, a Barkindji woman, birth doula, dancer and embodiment practitioner.
My work is in guiding people into their bodies, with deep respect for body sovereignty, the wisdom we carry in our cells, our intuitive intelligence, and the healing potential of embodied liberation.
I offer full spectrum doula support, 1:1 somatic care & embodiment sessions (in person and online) as well as somatic movement courses and workshops.
I pay my respects to the Arakwal people of the Bundjalung Nation, and the Elders past, present, and emerging from the many clan groups who continue to care for this Country as they have since time immemorial. I acknowledge those who have walked, danced and birthed on this Country for thousands of years, and the importance this knowledge holds for the health of our ecology, for nature, people, and our more than human kin.
I pay my respects to the mothers, babies and families who I have walked with on their pregnancy, birth and postpartum journeys. You are my teachers, and I am grateful to you that I may be of service to others because of the medicine shared in your journeys.
