The grief of a pregnancy lost. The complexity of a termination you have never spoken about. The birth that left you shaken in ways you still cannot explain. The fertility journey that took everything and gave nothing back. The quiet sadness of a door that has closed, or may be closing.
And underneath all of it, something even older. Because your nervous system began developing before you were born. You absorbed your mother's emotional landscape, her grief, her fear, her love, before you had any language for any of it. The patterns that live in your body today have roots that go further back than the experiences you can name.
These things are connected. They live in the same body, share the same nervous system, belong to the same story. And they need to be held together, not one at a time.
I am here for all of it.
No experience is too complicated, too early, too late or too much. A woman may come to me for miscarriage support and find she is also carrying an abortion she processed alone at nineteen. Another may arrive for birth trauma work and discover it connects to something that began before she was born. Everything is welcome here.
Whether your abortion was recent or years ago, straightforward or complicated, a relief or a loss or both at once, you deserve support that does not ask you to justify your feelings or your decision. As a full spectrum and abortion doula, I offer non-judgmental, compassionate support before, during and after, at whatever pace you need.
Enquire →The world often rushes past this grief. Miscarriage, stillbirth, late loss, the end of the road to biological motherhood. I do not rush it. Your grief is real, it lives in your body, and it deserves a proper place to land, however long ago it happened.
Enquire →Birth trauma can live quietly in the body for years. The birth that felt frightening, out of control, or nothing like what you hoped for. As a trauma-informed doula and practitioner, I support women in processing what happened and finding their way back to their bodies.
Enquire →IVF cycles that failed. The months and years of hoping. The exhaustion of a body treated as a medical project. The particular grief of a door that may be closing. I support women through all of it, with tools for the nervous system as much as for the heart.
Enquire →Your story began before birth. The nervous system is the first thing to develop in the womb. We absorb our mother's emotional landscape before we have words for any of it, and those earliest experiences shape how we carry everything that comes after.
Enquire →Hormonal health, nervous system regulation, burnout, perimenopause, the invisible load. One-to-one coaching that holds the whole picture, from conception through every life stage that follows, with practical tools for real moments.
Enquire →Some grief needs more than a session. It needs ceremony. I hold womb circles, one-to-one ceremonies and immersive retreats including Wild Womban in Tuscany, September 2026. Small circles, held with intention, for women who are ready to put down what they have been carrying.
Wild Womban →Trauma-sensitive movement, restorative yoga and body-based practices that work with the nervous system rather than against it. One-to-one sessions, workshops and group offerings rooted in safety, compassion and the body's own wisdom.
Enquire →Available for panels, keynotes and media on reproductive trauma, women's health, nervous system wellbeing and the experiences that mainstream healthcare still fails to hold. Panel speaker at HLTH Europe 2026, featured in BBC StoryWorks' The Shift, and teaching at Wilderness Festival for the fourth consecutive year.
Enquire →A self-guided workbook for every woman who has ever carried a reproductive experience alone and never quite been given the space to put it down.
This is not a workbook about one specific experience. It is about the whole picture. Because abortion and miscarriage and birth trauma and fertility grief and pre and perinatal experiences do not exist in isolation. They live in the same body, share the same nervous system, and need to be held together.
You will begin at the very beginning, with how your nervous system was shaped long before you had words for any of this. You will name what you have been carrying without shame or hierarchy. And you will be given practical, body-based tools for release, nourishment and ceremony.
When you have worked through the material, we spend 30 minutes together. Just us. To integrate what has come up and help you move forward.
Once purchased you will receive your password to access the workbook online. Your 30 minute integration call is included and booked once you have worked through everything at your own pace.
Hey beautiful soul, it's so good to meet you.
My name is Heemali and I honestly don't know where to start because it's always hard to explain what I do, mainly because I don't feel like my work is separated from my soul. This is my purpose. Every experience I've been through, no matter how hard it's been, has led me to be here, to be this voice for people who can't always speak for themselves, this advocate for women and girls, this container that creates safety for others to feel held.
My story actually starts in my mum's womb, and it's something I didn't learn until I was in my early thirties because I'd gone through a very similar experience to her. And when I found that out it really changed the narrative for me in so many ways, because I was finally able to understand why I behave the way I do, why I process things the way I do. It just made so much sense of everything I'd been through.
The most important thing I've learnt through all of this is how impactful our emotions really are and how we're just not taught to process them, as a society we genuinely aren't. The more we're able to safely do that, the more we can release what we've been holding, and it really is a game changer.
I was racially bullied growing up, quiet, anxious, never really felt like I belonged. Dancing saved me, it was the first time I ever felt free in my body, but when I started training professionally that relationship broke down completely, it got toxic and I developed body dysmorphia. I was diagnosed with PCOS and put on the pill with no real conversation about why. Came off it, went travelling, got into a car accident, started having panic attacks and just didn't deal with any of it. Went into corporate life, climbed the ladder, kept pushing, and eventually burnt out completely. Panic attacks every day, severe psoriasis, rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis. My body had been trying to get my attention for years.
It was during all of this that I started feeling really drawn back to my roots, to my lineage, to the things that had always quietly been there in the background but that I'd never felt I could fully explore, partly because of the bullying I experienced growing up and not feeling like I was allowed to take up that space. Ayurveda, yoga, meditation, that real oneness of the mind, body and soul connection. It felt like coming home. So I left my job and started actually listening, working with an acupuncturist, a kinesiologist, a trauma coach, a functional doctor, and I retrained as a trauma-informed yoga and restorative yoga teacher and as a women's holistic health coach in Ayurveda. In my late teens I'd worked as a baby sensory facilitator and in SEN schools and had always been really drawn to the mind-body connection, to neuroscience, to how our earliest experiences shape everything that comes after, so as I started healing it all started clicking into place.
Then I got pregnant unexpectedly whilst using contraception and found out I had hyperemesis gravidarum, the same condition my mum had when she was pregnant with me. I couldn't keep anything down, my lips were going purple, I had no energy, and when I went to the hospital I was turned away. I had a termination and it was genuinely one of the hardest experiences of my life. Nothing happened the way I was told it would, I bled for months, the contractions lasted ten hours, my period didn't return for six months and not one health worker checked in on me afterwards. I was just left to get on with it alone.
And that's really the heart of why I'm here, because no woman should have to go through any of that without someone in her corner. I am who I wish I'd had. Someone to advocate, to educate, to hold space and remind you that you have complete agency over your own body. I went on to train as a trauma-informed full spectrum and abortion doula and I'm currently training in Pre and Perinatal Psychology and Neuroscience, because I truly believe that's where so much of this begins, right back in the womb.
Inclusivity, diversity and accessibility are at the heart of everything I offer. If you're from an indigenous or marginalised community and money's a barrier, please just reach out. We'll figure something out together.
"Heemali is the most patient, caring and kind human being. She is tuned in, grounded and unlike most other teachers and healers, she has vast experience supporting those in complex situations and those with trauma. At a time where I felt completely alone, disconnected and disorientated, her patience, encouragement and kindness is what got me through."
"Heemali really knows her stuff, and tailored the session to help with my long-term hip and knee problem. It really made a difference, and the whole experience was deeply relaxing. Definitely planning on going back."
"Heemali is an extremely knowledgeable and accommodating practitioner. She was able to provide a space that allows complete relaxation in a world filled with chronic stress. The experience should not be left so far apart. I will be seeing Heemali more often."
"I have had a number of sessions with Heemali and they have been great. Excellent explanation of what to do and how. Felt really relaxed and at ease. She was very mindful of my needs and ability, and gave me feedback and suggestions in between. Definitely recommend."
