Eleanor is a passionate midwife, eco-textile artist, budding researcher & feminist permaculture educator. She has had the privilege to work with women, families and birth for over a decade as a doula and more recently, a registered midwife. She describes herself as a life-long apprentice of the nature and her rhythms through permaculture study, sustainable off-grid living and of course, the Eight Seasons Journey which she completed in Mullumbimby 2018.
Eleanor’s work in the world lies in being with-women on their paths to (re)connection with self, body, birth and and our precious earth.
She is committed to the rising up of women in this world and honours the many phases of the lived experience of women- maiden, mother, maga & crone.
