Community Calls

Community Calls are your space to slow down, breathe, and feel genuinely supported by doulas who understand the emotional, physical, and practical layers of pregnancy, birth and early parenting.

Held online each month, these online-group sessions offer connection, clarity and care from the same collective who walk beside you in person.

Whether you are preparing for birth, navigating decisions, unpacking emotions, or seeking grounded postpartum wisdom, Radiant Chats are here to hold you.

February Call Topic is Birthing Bodies and Our Relationship with them

Our February Community Call is a gentle, honest conversation about our bodies and body image across pregnancy, birth and early parenthood.

Josie and Em will talk about what body image is, discuss relationship with our bodies, perceptions, ideas and ideals, how our bodies change, how we feel about them, and how to reconnect with our body as something wise rather than something to fix. Expect a grounded, compassionate discussion that blends lived experience, doula wisdom and evidence-informed insight, with time for reflection and shared questions. Come exactly as you are – curious, tender, unsure, or simply wanting to feel less alone in it all. Held online each month, these online-group sessions offer connection, clarity and care from the same collective who walk beside you in person.

Whether you are preparing for birth, navigating decisions, unpacking emotions, or seeking grounded postpartum wisdom, we are here to hold you.

What Community Calls Offer

A safe, held space each month

Come as you are. Each session is gentle, spacious and guided with intention. You’ll be welcomed into a circle of mothers, parents and doulas who honour honesty, vulnerability and real conversation. We may invite special guests that offer care in the maternal and parental support spaces.

Guidance from the whole Radiant Birth collective

When you join Radiant Chats, you’re supported by multiple doulas with diverse experience. You receive a rich tapestry of perspectives around birth physiology, emotional wellbeing, postpartum recovery, partner support and navigating the maternity system.

Evidence-informed and wisdom-led support

Our approach blends:

  • current peer-reviewed research

  • embodied knowledge from doula work

  • traditional practices centred on rest, rhythm, community and nourishment

  • space for your own intuition and wisdom

Connection between sessions

You’ll be invited into the Radiant Birth Community with the doula team, where you can ask questions, share updates, and access ongoing support. We hold you between the sessions, not just during them.

Who Are They For?

These are perfect for you if you’re:

  • pregnant (any stage)

  • preparing for birth in any model of care

  • seeking continuity of emotional support

  • wanting a grounded understanding of your options

  • planning for a gentle postpartum

  • wanting to feel empowered, informed and not alone

  • living regionally or juggling schedules that make in-person support difficult

  • wanting the warmth of a doula without committing to a full doula package

How Each Session Works

  • facilitates discussions and reflection

  • birth or postpartum education

  • Q&A time

  • emotional processing

  • somatic or grounding practices
