Sophia Paskell is a mother, writer, childbirth educator and experienced birth doula. For two decades she has walked alongside women and families through pregnancy, birth and the tender thresholds of becoming. Having attended hundreds of births and supported thousands of pregnancies, Sophia’s work is devoted to helping women return to their own inner compass.

Rooted in deep listening and reverence for the body, Sophia’s approach to birth and life is both intuitive and grounded. She creates spaces where women can slow down, soften and trust themselves again. Through her doula work, writing circles and group programs, she invites women into deeper relationship with their bodies, their stories and the unseen threads that connect us.

Sophia explores life’s most potent themes through an honest and unconventional lens: birth, grief, love, fear, motherhood and transformation. She believes expression is medicine and that when women are given permission to feel, speak and move freely, something true and vital is restored. Her workshops and circles are known for their warmth, depth and sincerity. They are places where armour loosens, authenticity surfaces and connection becomes a living, breathing experience.

Sophia lives and works in Aotearoa, New Zealand, where she continues to write, teach and accompany women through the profound initiations of birth and life.
