Tish Ella
I’m Tish, a mother, a birth & postpartum doula and yoga practitioner, based in Waihi and Online. I'm devoted to protecting this rite of passage as one that is sacred, and connecting with mamas from all walks of life to journey through conception, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and mothering.
It is my dream that all mamas have the support and care they deserve to nourish all parts of themselves through this transition. Birth is such a portal! Like an inhale, exhale, there is contraction as we may meet our fears and face the not knowing, and expansion as we transmute fears, and relax into the mystery and unknown. We are the portal of creation, life and death. I support women to be in their power through this transition and rebirth.
Working alongside women through this journey is a soul calling for me. My passion for natural physiological birth was awakened from a very young age as my mother was a childbirth educator and I was a homebirth. Witnessing birth is truly a miracle. Witnessing women in their sacred window and landing as mothers is so potent. I see my role to be your soul friend. To be grounded, present, loving guidance and reflect your power back to you.

Testimonials
“I’ve known Tish for years and love her approach to life and holistic thinking. When I found out I was pregnant I intuitively knew that I wanted to have a home birth but was needing a little bit of support to reassure myself that I was safe and my body knew was it was doing. Tish created a great safe space to work through any of my feelings of fear by sharing her innate knowing and wisdom. I would highly recommend working with Tish to support a beautiful birth portal.”
“My baby was tracking large and I felt a lot of pressure from an over medicalised system to do things that just didn’t feel right or necessary for me. Tish helped me tap into the magic and power I knew I had in me to have the birth that I wanted. She guided me to believe in myself and to trust my inner wisdom. This resulted in a truly healing experience and I had a beautiful and calm natural birth of my second son weighing 11lb 6”
“Thank you Tish @honeypotculture for holding such an incredible space for my closing of the bones and empowering my mothers blessing! Such a special experience. Highly moving and absolutely awakened the deep feminine divinity! ❤️🙌😍🌈”
“Tish created the most magical environment and ambience for a Mothers Blessing that I had the honour to be a part of. She carefully took us through a guided visualisation to delve deeper within ourselves followed by a sound healing journey accompanied with Yin Yoga. Her care and ability to hold space for us all shows Tishs’ very special gift in this realm of healing. I can not speak highly enough of Tish and her very special work and her art.””
