Profile
Tamara Donn After leaving university with an honours degree, I spent several years in the IT industry. Realising that this was not fulfilling my passion, I retrained as an aromatherapist.
For many years, prior to becoming a mother, I was involved in personal development. Among my teachers were Deepak Chopra (meditation), Chuck Spezzano (Psychology of Vision) and Brandon Bays (The Journey). I spent time traveling and visited sacred centres in Peru and Egypt.
In 2000 I gave birth to my daughter and passed through the life-changing rite of passage into motherhood. This was the start of my true inner learning and gave rise to a strong passion to mentor other women through their rite of passage into motherhood. I started by offering support to women wanting a home birth for my local NCT group. Since then, I have taken courses with Sheila Kitzinger on Birth Crisis, Doula training with Ruth Tamir, Foundation course in The Gentle Birth Method with Dr Gowri Motha and have completed training Levels 1 and 2 with Pam England as a Birthing From Within Mentor and trained with Niravi Payne on the Whole Person Fertility Program.

My desire is to re-awaken women’s inner wisdom within all mothers (to-be) and to empower them to truly trust themselves, listen to their hearts and to honour the journey through the rite of passage into motherhood however it unfolds.
