You’re a whole, delish person ready to claim the life you day dream about. You're done processing, revisiting, over-analyzing and ready to have what you want. Yet, during the moments where life is obviously asking you to face change, you are given two options:
White knuckle through it
Treating everyday like the final lap of Mario Kart’s Rainbow Road – banana peels abound. Then, snapping out of the trance with a frayed nervous system only to realize you’re climbing a steep, endless cliff to someone else’s version of “success.”
Buy into the Self-Help Industrial Complex
The dusty, lackluster tools of the Self-Help Industry that try to sell you into fixing yourself out of being human without ever delivering you to the life that feels like home. Your dream life is always dangled in front of you in the version of one course, retreat, or Hay House book away
But you're not a fixer upper.
There’s another way...
where you aren’t knocked around by change or searching for an answer outside of yourself. Instead, you are powerfully, potently landed in the life you most desire.
When you can stare change square in the eyes and say “let’s dance,” while feeling embodied, resourced with your own roadmap through change, and without grin and bearing it, you become unstoppable.
If you feel like self-help work or white-knuckling through change have failed, you’re in the right corner of the internet.
Rather than reducing you to a list of problems to be fixed, or telling you that you have "one more thing to heal" before you can have what you want, doula support meets you where you are and guides you through a grounding, nourishing process of navigating change as your own cartographer - you design the next phase of your life.
Threshold Alchemy sees change as a portal of possibility and teaches you how to meet change powerfully to get to the next, upleveled version of you.
What Threshold Alchemy™ Does
Threshold Alchemy keeps you in the driver’s seat of your life – no matter how slippery the roads are. I mean, let's be real, you could practically be your own therapist by now. You've done the work, learned your patterns, and now it is time to face the change and take the action.
It is the deep, full-body, full-life exhale you’ve been searching for that leads you home to yourself – knowing there is nothing you can’t navigate with clarity.
Where the self-help tools box you in and the matrix tells you that suffering and sacrifice are the stepping stones on the way to success, doula care sets you free, unleashes your ungovernable self, and calls forth your untamed power.
With a doula on your side, you stop fearing change and start alchemizing life's transitions into doors into the life you love.
The Threshold Alchemy Way
Somatic & mindfullness
practices
Tools to meet & integrate your fear and uncertainty. These are the practices that bring you to full embodiment of the life you are claiming on the other side of change.
Threshold mapping
Think birth map, with a twist. You will have tailored tools to create your own map through this threshold so you always know where to turn to be resourced.
Whole-system nourishment
We move beyond just food and exercise here to made sure you have the rest, social support, resources, and spiritual practices to support your becoming.
Intuitive indigenous wisdom
As a doula of over a decade from an Indigenous lineage of birth workers, I share intuitive insights and ancient practices for honoring change.
The Pillars of Threshold Alchemy
Naming
Claim what you're facing
In this phase, we intentionally meet the change you’re experiencing and honor all of the complexity of it. I share teachings from my Indigenous lineage that honor all sacred thresholds. Together, we articulate what threshold you're in and what you're moving toward so you have a clear vision of where and who you want to be on the other side.
Mapping
Mapping this crossing
Once you've decided that you are ready to step into the unknown, and cross from who you are to who you will be on the other side of this change, we will collaborate to create your unique Threshold Map that outlines what tools, support, nourishment, movement, and ceremony you need as you navigate this void space.
Tending
The messy middle where transformation actually happens
You're held through navigation of the void. This process is designed to build trust in the process instead of white-knuckling alone or abandoning it halfway through. We make sure you don't get stuck in the middle, and stay on course to arrive where you want to land. The uncomfortable "neither here nor there" space is the deep work of threshold medicine.
Grounding
Integration and embodiment of your transformation
You’ll have guidance and support as you integrate your transformation and practice being the person you've become, preventing the common pattern of reverting to old identities when the structure drops away. The skills you've developed get added to your trusty toolbox for navigating future thresholds. You leave with the capacity to hold yourself through transformation forevermore. You are relaxed, grounded, sovereign knowing you are ready to powerfully meet anything that comes your way.
If You’re Here, You’ve Probably Tried:
- 9,587 masterclasses, every single book Hay House has ever published, and a 40-step morning routine
- White-knuckling through change, eyes glued shut, braced against life until the transition is “over”
- A rolodex of 13 different practitioners who all promise “the answer,” yet you never quite find “it”
- Creating elaborate, multi-step plans to motivate yourself, only for them to drown you in overwhelm
And despite years (ahem decades) of devotion to improving yourself and trying to make sense of all of the noise, you’re still looking outside yourself for a map that only you can create.
What Is a Threshold?
Relational Thresholds
Divorce, friendship shifts, strengthening strained familial bonds, reimagining your relationship to abundance.
Creative Thresholds
The book you’ve been meaning to write, the offer you’ve built but haven't launched, the residency you’ve dreamed up since 4th grade.
Trajectory Thresholds
Moving cities, quitting that darn job, starting fresh in a new industry.
Identity Thresholds
Saturn Return, coming out, claiming the title you’ve been tiptoeing around
No matter what threshold you’re standing in, you’ve come to the right place.
Madisons story:
When I started my doula practice, I only worked with birth and death.
Over time, I realized the care required at life's two doors is also necessary for the many thresholds in between.
Since then, I've seen clients' hostile divorces turn amicable, U-hauls booked for long-delayed moves to dream cities, and Google Drive folders of ideas become launched businesses—all through doula support.
The medicine of one threshold is the medicine of all thresholds.
Threshold Doula Care is here so you can trade the panic of the unknown for the elation of "it finally happened."
I know this works
I doulad myself into a delicious life and learned that meeting change head-on, with curiosity and possibility, is a recipe for freedom.
Then, I dropped it all and became my own doula. Since then, I've gone from:
- Feeling trapped in city living to buying a beautiful Vermont home through an Ancestrally led process.
- Jobs that perpetuated my scarcity narratives to building a handful of abundant businesses I love.
- Years of draining attachment-style disasters in romantic relationships to building a life with my partner – a chunk of sunshine trapped in a human body.
- A lifetime of disordered eating and body dysmorphia stemming from childhood food insecurity to a trusting, nourishing relationship with food and movement where I know what my body needs and feel at home within myself.
- Strained, codependent family relationships shaped by past harm and addiction to boundaried, healthy connections.
- Years of bullying myself to write a book to landing an agent, publisher, book deal, and PR manager during my yummy book writing process.
- Longing for an accepting Indigenous ceremonial community to connecting with my Ancestral practices within an intergenerational community of Indigenous baddies.
- Start (and finish) that project that has been eating away at you since graduation
- Break the cycle of being served the same lessons on repeat, and finally integrate, embody, and move past them
- Set down the many fragmented tools you’ve been told you need to use to “fix” yourself and realize you’re whole
- Re-introduce yourself to your innate wisdom and guidance from your core truth
- Meet all of life’s thresholds and uncertainty with a quiet confidence, knowing you’ve got it
