I’m Carolynë
Your Transitions Doula
I am a transformational guide, psychic, threshold guide, grief tender, culture co-creator, tantrika, mystic, poet, punk, lover and mother — a catalyst for change.
I inherited the art of threshold-tending from three lineages...
Three Lineages, One Sacred ThreadI come from three lines of threshold-tenders.
Germanic Lineage
My Germanic ancestors were the völva — shamanic women who carried the wand, weaving futures through seiðr, who journeyed between the Nine Worlds to bring back wisdom. They understood that transformation required entering the liminal, that space between what was and what would be.
African Lineage
My African lineage flows through women healers and death-tenders—the sangomas, the ritual specialists who held communities through grief, who understood that mourning opens portals to the ancestral realm, who knew that every ending contains the seeds of a new beginning.
Indigenous Brazilian Lineage
My Indigenous Brazilian roots connect me to the Tupi pajés—shamans who travelled fluidly between the spirit world and this one, who understood that the shaman's work is not about fixed positions but about processes of transformation and transportation to the dwellings of other entities.
From my Tupi ancestry comes "Ibakati" - meaning "fruit which smells pleasant and intense." This captures the essence of the mature feminine/queen archetype I help women embody
— both sweet and powerful, alluring and deep.
My StoryI Must Have Been Threading These Gifts Together, Because Now
I’m a Weaver of Thresholds.
A devoted student of the liminal spaces where transformation unfolds.
A Doula for Your Transitions
I walk alongside you through the thresholds that crack you open, where everything you thought you knew falls away, and you don't know who you are anymore.
I tend both the miraculous and the mundane. I hold space for mystery while also remembering to bring water, a cool cloth, and a steady presence. I don't pull you through faster or promise it won't hurt. I remind you that you can do this.
This is threshold-tending—staying present to both the death and the birth, the decay and the emergence, whether you're grieving your marriage, your mother, your old self. Whether you're birthing your business, your authentic voice, or your next octave of being.
I tend the threshold. I hold the space. I remind you that you already are whole.
My Journey to This Work
With two decades of multi-disciplinary healing expertise—bodywork, energy healing, naturopathy, yoga, detox and retreats, feminine embodiment, and entrepreneurship—I've guided hundreds through transformation.
I spent years helping people let go of what wasn't serving them. Though I didn't know back then that I was already practising threshold work—helping people release, transform, and emerge renewed.
Everything shifted when I was 36. Life gifted me with a convergence: I got married, moved countries three times, my mother manifested advanced breast cancer, and I got pregnant.
I became a mother as my mother was dying.
I Have Walked Through My Own Initiatory Fires
In four years: eight moves across countries, six jobs, a new language and culture, marriage, pregnancy, birth, my mother's death from cancer, separation, and co-parenting. Life wanted me grounded in being human.
Grief became my close companion.
I discovered liminal space intimately—that threshold between who I was and who I was becoming. I learned to stay rather than rush through. The postpartum period. The deathbed vigil with my mother under a full moon in the Brazilian countryside, where I sang her a goodbye poem. The dissolution of my marriage. Each was an initiation.
I know what it feels like to be in the underworld, to be cooked in the alchemical vessel. I know the terror of having no floor underneath you when everything falls apart. And I know the sacred gift that emerges when you choose to stay and feel rather than leave.
From this lived experience, I have emerged with the capacity to hold sacred space for others.
I understand both the beauty and the danger of liminal consciousness. I know what happens when boundaries are not properly stewarded, when people stay too long in the fertile void, or when they emerge too soon.
Grief as Portal
My relationship with grief started young—at 6 or 7, feeling the visceral sadness of dusk. I didn't know I was grieving my day.
When I became a mother at 36, grief became my teacher.
I discovered that grief leads to love, and more love, and more love.
Grief cracked me open. It granted me more access to Love—the Love that I am, that you are, that is the fabric of this human experience and beyond. The more I said yes to grief, the more I felt held by something larger than myself.
I learned the difference between feeling grief (essential) and feeding suffering (unnecessary). I learned that to grieve is to love, and to love is to grieve.
This wisdom, forged in my own fires, is what I bring to women walking through their own threshold crossings.
What My Ancestors Embodied, Contemporary Depth Psychology Names
The liminal space—that sacred threshold between death and rebirth—is not something to rush through. It is the alchemical vessel, the "tomb of the womb", where we are cooked when we need to be.
My work draws from both ancient lineage wisdom and contemporary depth psychology—scholars like Robert Moore, Victor Turner, and Mircea Eliade who articulated what my ancestors always knew:
True initiation requires separation from the familiar, containment in sacred space, and enactment of the new identity.

My daughter, Juniper, is my greatest teacher in presence and patience
Where you'll find me: In the forest, aligning. In a boutique cafe, drinking matcha and working. At Can Can, writing poetry. At home, tending the wild sanctuary.
I love dancing.
Secret skill: I am brilliant at organising & beautifying spaces
What I naturally do: Thread scattered gifts into integrated wholeness
My training: Currently deepening my death doula practice through a 3-month training. This is the natural evolution of my threshold work—supporting people through the ultimate threshold.
My ApproachI weave it all into transformational initiations—one-on-one and group journeys into embodiment and threshold passages of the inner dying and rebirthing.
My work empowers your sovereignty while cultivating your attunement and alignment. I share in a deep, simple, experiential way through a holistic and intuitive approach that honours both light and darkness.
This is not about following prescribed steps.
This is about guiding you through initiation, threshold tending, and celebrating the cycles of death and rebirth within yourself and your life.
At the heart of my practice is bringing awareness into the body, listening deeply within, and living from our souls' desire and wisdom.
My Philosophy
There's no passage into wholeness - but a re/membering that you already are whole.
This is our inheritance: to co-create with Source and birth realities. My work helps women remember the truth and power we carry—to seed and birth worlds, to spiritually and physically create this world in alignment with the divine.
Being you IS the change the world needs.
Personal transformation IS collective service. When you fully embody your authentic self, you create ripple effects of permission and possibility for others.
How I Work
I midwife culture-changing women through threshold initiations by cultivating the courage to embrace their whole feminine nature and manifest their Soul's desires into form—for both personal and collective transformation.
This work asks you to:
Surrender - to let go, to trust, to stop trying to control everything
Stay - to not rush through the liminal space, but to let it alchemise you
Feel - to choose to feel all the feelings rather than feed the suffering
Trust - that grief leads to love, that death births new life, that you already are whole
Whether through sacred feminine embodiment offerings, death doula support, or one-on-one threshold tending, I create contained vessels for your transformation.
The world doesn't need you to become someone new.
The world needs you to re/member who you already are.
Welcome to my temple.
