The hub of
birth preparation
for modern women
Ripple is an online birth preparation membership that turns birth education into practical preparation through mindset training, body readiness, pain management tools and ongoing doula support.
If you’ve
binged 40+ hours of birth stories in the last week alone
saved countless IG reels you have no intention of ever watching again
bought a birth course that’s gathering dust in your inbox
got 3 unfinished birth books on the go
been down every “positive birth” rabbit hole imaginable
But still feel sliiiightly unprepared for the big day…
Ripple is for you!
Minimum 3 month commitment.
Birth doesn’t ask how many podcasts you’ve listened to or how many books you’ve read…
it asks “can you stay connected to yourself right here, right now?”
Ripple gives you the integration tools so you’re prepared for birth.

Birth preparation is not something you consume once. It’s something you return to consistently through pregnancy until you meet your first contraction.

If I could ensure every woman had an Alice for her pregnancy journey, I absolutely would.
Alice was our greatest support and asset during this chapter of our lives. I cannot put into words how thankful I am that she supported both my husband and I”

From fear focused to empowered, Alice changed my complete mindset going in to birth
I’ll never be able to repay Alice for her exceptional service and caretaking. I never want to have a birth without her and her amazing skill, support, care and education.

Modern women are stuck consuming birth content and hoping it somehow translates to confidence when labour starts.
Ripple bridges the gap between understanding birth intellectually and actually embodying it through:
nervous system preparation
Mindset work
body
based
tools
ongoing support & accountability
pain management tools
community & connection
Min 3. month commitment.
Alice left me so excited for my birth I couldn't wait to do it!!
I learnt so much from her even as a second time mum and she posed questions and decisions I could make about my birth I wouldn't ever have considered alone, which left me feeling so completely in control and powerful.”
- Maddy
Why Ripple exists…
As a doula who’s been booked and busy for 4 years, I’ve seen the seismic gap. The space between what women want in birth, to what women get. A big part of it is systemic, sure.
But the bigger part?
Is that willing women who want to birth without intervention or pain relief are consuming more content than ever before, but many still walk into labour:
defaulting into the ‘good girl’ conditioning the moment decisions feel hard
feeling disconnected from themselves and their desires
losing their voice as soon as a white coat enters the room
unexpectedly fearful when the true sensation of a contraction hits
carrying unprocessed or uncommunicated fears
unsure how to advocate within a pressuring system
hoping confidence will magically appear while at their most vulnerable.
And while birth education is SO important, it alone does not always prepare you for:
intense contractions over an unknown period of time
making decisions under pressure
staying grounded when things get intense or change plan
navigating fear responses in real time
trusting your body when you’re feeling sensations that are new
About The Modern Doula
Alice — AKA The Modern Doula — is an experienced birth doula and mum of 2 with a modern, no-fluff approach to birth support and education.
You won’t find her charging crystals under the full moon, burning sage sticks, or dehydrating placentas (nothing wrong with that of course, it’s just not her style!!)
Instead, you’ll find that Alice has a unique knack of being able to blend ancient wisdom with evidence-based education and real talk, so that women feel confident and prepared to work with their bodies, with pain, and find inner confidence through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
After the last 4 years of supporting births across hospital, home and caesarean settings, Alice has seen firsthand that women don’t need more overwhelming information about birth — they need grounded support, nervous system preparation and practical guidance they can actually apply when labour begins.
As a certified birth doula through the Australian Doula College and an Optimal Maternal Positioning Educator, Alice is deeply passionate about helping women understand how physiology, mindset, body preparation and informed decision making all work together to shape positive birth experiences.
Alice helped us understand that we didn’t need to fear the process at all!
Instead, learning about all the options available to us and how we can birth our baby with confidence (no matter the outcome), gave us total faith in allowing my body to bring our baby into this world.

Ideally, as soon as you pee on a stick!! That way, you can build connection and community and stay grounded in your preparation over time. However, joining any time during pregnancy is great.

Ripple is best suited for women who are wanting to work with pain in their birth. The focus inside Ripple is not about achieving a “perfect” birth, but having a birth where you feel powerful, confident, and capable.
-
Birth classes are a great foundation for understanding what happens in labour and birth, but they’re not usually enough on their own. Real preparation comes from revisiting and practising what you’ve learned over time. Ripple helps you turn birth knowledge into action through regular mindset work, breathwork, and nervous system practice so you feel more prepared when birth begins.
-
Ripple does not replace on the ground doula support or clinical care. Ripple is an accessible, ongoing support and preparation membership designed to help women shift their perspective and embody birth preparation. There is no medical advice inside Ripple.

Ripple has a 3-month minimum commitment to support consistency and genuine preparation throughout pregnancy. After your initial 3 months, you’re welcome to cancel anytime before your next billing cycle.

Yes!! While Ripple is centred around you, many members choose to share podcast episodes, tools and insights with their partner so they can feel more informed and involved in the preparation process too. Your partner is also encouraged to join the monthly masterclasses with us!

Ripple includes ongoing support and guidance from Alice inside the membership community through the private podcast, community chat, masterclasses and Q&As.
While Ripple is intentionally hands-on and interactive, it is not designed to replace private 1:1 doula support or coaching. If you’re needing more personalised support throughout pregnancy, additional 1:1 sessions are available to Ripple members at a very reduced rate.
-
Ripple is designed to be a consistent container of support, not a one-off resource library. The 3-month minimum is in place so you have enough time to actually settle in, be supported, and get value from the full experience. Because as you will soon find out, birth preparation doesn’t happen overnight, nor does the building of a supportive community.
-
Ripple is a community space hosted on the Circle platform. You can access it via a desktop computer, or by downloading the Circle App and logging in on your phone.
-
The best way to prepare for labour and birth is through a combination of physical preparation, mindset training, breathwork and nervous system regulation. Ripple brings these together in one place, helping you train your body, calm your nervous system and build real confidence for birth through practical tools and guided preparation.
-
YES! That’s the best part of this. High-quality online birth preparation can give you the same core education as in-person classes, plus the flexibility to learn at your own pace. Ripple goes beyond static information and helps you actively practise mindset tools, breathwork, and body-based preparation. We combine online learning accessible for anyone in the world with guided practice so you’re not just learning about birth, but preparing for it in real time.
-
Traditional birth classes are one and done. You attend the class, sit and listen for a few hours, and then what you do with it is up to you. Ripple gives you to tools to implement the practice work regularly through your pregnancy, and holds you accountable to doing the work! Most birth classes also don’t provide any on-going support, where as in Ripple, you have a doula in your back pocket for your entire pregnancy.
