We are conditioned, biologically and societally, to fear and avoid change and uncertainty. Alas, anyone who has spent time on this planet knows change is the only constant in life.
The conditioning we receive gives us 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" 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 you are here to experience in the first place. Your dream life is always one course, retreat, or Hay House book away
Come on now, you’re not a fixer upper. You’re a whole, delish person ready to be in their life, rather than fixing it.
There’s another way...
where you aren’t knocked around by change, and are instead powerfully, potently leading yourself through it toward the life you most desire.
When you can stare change square in the eyes and say “let’s dance,” you become grounded, nourished, and unstoppable no matter what.
If you feel like self-help work or grinning and bearing it have failed, you’re in the right corner of the internet. We don’t have to do that anymore.
Rather than reducing you to a list of problems to be fixed, or telling you to pile more onto your already overflowing capacity, doula support meets you where you are and guides you through a grounding, nourishing process of navigating change as your own cartographer.
Threshold Doula Support™ sees change as a portal of possibility toward your most grounded, potent, creative, and curious self and teaches you how to meet change powerfully to get to the other side.
What Threshold Doula Support™ Does
Through somatic practices, intuitively guided exercises, resource mapping, mindfulness techniques, and nourishment of your body, mind, and spirit, Threshold Doula Support keeps you in the driver’s seat of your life – no matter how slippery the roads are.
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 to hone your power and potency.
The Pillars of Threshold Medicine
Phase one:
Name Your Threshold
Claiming 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 lineage that honor all sacred thresholds. Together, we articulate what threshold you're in and what you're moving toward, reclaiming your authority to name your own experience.
Phase two:
Map Your Becoming
Discovering what you need for this crossing
Once you’re grounded in, you will have tools to map the processes that help you discover what you specifically need as you navigate this change. I will offer elemental and ancestral practices that provide structure for exploring your threshold without imposing rigid outcomes. Ultimately, you will be the expert in what you need to be grounded, supported, and nourished.
Phase three:
Be Held Through It
The messy middle where transformation actually happens
You’ll have access to twice-monthly small group sessions and private channels where you're held through dissolution without anyone trying to fix you. This builds trust in the process instead of white-knuckling alone or abandoning it halfway through. The uncomfortable "neither here nor there" space is the deep work of threshold medicine. When you have permission to be in the mess without rushing to resolution, you can finally complete the crossing.
Phase four:
Ground Into Who You've Become
Integration and embodiment of your transformation
You’ll have community 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.
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
What You’ll Be Able to Do Through This Work
Start (and finish) the project that’s been haunting you
Break the cycle of repeating the same lessons
Stop fixing yourself and start trusting yourself
Hear your innate wisdom again
Meet uncertainty with quiet confidence
Threshold Doula Support™ is the sacred portal that lifts the fog. Inside, you shift to clear, swift movement toward the life you crave.
You become unfuckwithable.
The Threshold Approach Is Different
- Set you on a fruitless path to find answers outside yourself
- Cause you to outsource your power and life force
- Fragment your wisdom into disconnected boxes
Threshold Doula Support™ does the opposite.
I’ll be alongside you with my somatic and intuitive toolbox so you can unearth and integrate this threshold's potent teachings. You'll step through the doorway with sage wisdom, ancestral guidance, and embodied trust in yourself.
