Thresholding the ancient Way of the Womb

Bringing Ritual & Ceremony to the passageway of Birth ~ from preconception to postpartum

Welcome to The Birth Passage

Full Spectrum Birth support • Ritual & Ceremony • Placenta Medicine

In various cultures throughout the world, the passageway of birth is considered to be one of the most sacred initiations into Womanhood.

Here at The Birth Passage, we celebrate this transition from Maiden into Mother as we are guided by the ancient support of these traditional ways and allow our innate wisdom lead us throughout this journey.

Through these services, it is our intention for every pathway to be equally honored with the ritual and reverence you and your linage deserve. We believe from conception to postpartum, you deserve to feel supported every step of the way.

Bailey Locatelli is a Full Spectrum, Certified Medi-Cal Doula Provider, & Devotee of the Divine Mother currently living on the ancestral lands of the Wiyot people in present day Humboldt County. It is her deepest honor to hold space for Women to feel empowered in the belief of their body’s innate wisdom while feeling informed of their sovereign choices throughout their birth journey~ from preconception to postpartum. Bailey carries a nurturing, grounded presence, and is passionate about creating lifelong communal support systems with her clients so that their passageway of parenthood may always feel safe, supported, and advocated for. Through the services she offers, her hope is to create the change we want to see in the world by the way we welcome our future generations and care for their mothers~ through birth, and beyond.

Full Spectrum Doula Support

pregnancy release | full term | Postpartum

Doulas are knowledgeable birthworkers that provide emotional, physical, and educational support during the transformative time birth in home and hospital settings.

I am here to walk alongside you on this sacred journey, help you explore your options, design your birth plan, support your needs pre-post birth, and advocate for the experience you desire to create for you, your child, and your family.

Ritual & Ceremony

Maiden | Mother | Placenta | postpartum

During this time of deep mental, physical, spiritual transformation, these traditional rituals and ceremonies are offered to support you in sanctifying your experience of womanhood as a rite of passage.

I am here to offer my experience as a ceremony facilitator, community organizer, and Doula by holding a safe container for you and your village to celebrate this sacred threshold of your life.

Placenta Medicine

TCM encapsulation | salves & tinctures | art & keepsakes

There are many studies regarding the benefits of using the placenta as a remedy in the postpartum phase; from medicinally aiding the mothers recovery by supplementing nutrients and hormones, using it topically to heal skin disorders, creating artistic keepsakes to honor this time, or sanctifying the closure of pregnancy by offering it back to the Earth in a planting, there are many ways using placenta as a remedy could provide emotional and physical support after childbirth.

    “Bailey is a truly powerful, gifted space holder. Her connections to herself and to Spirit are palpable, and help deepen the connections for those around her. She really put her whole heart and presence into holding space for our family in the prenatal, birth portal, and postpartum with such loving, gentle grace. Bailey’s ability to both listen deeply and express clearly are of enormous value to any rite of passage, ceremony, and healing space.” ~CLAIRE

    “Bailey’s support during my pregnancy release process was absolutely indispensable, I couldn’t imagine having gone through it without her. She provided a wealth of knowledge and tools as well as much needed comfort and emotional support. She beautifully held space for me not only during the release process but also before and after. She was able to answer all of the questions I had and I would have never thought of that were immensely helpful. Truly, her strong presence and support was an absolute blessing.” ~SARAH

The Birth Passage acknowledges that the rituals, ceremonies, and healing modalities we offer are rooted in sacred and ancient traditions, cultures, and places. It is with deep respect, permission, and reverence that I carry these medicines with integrity and gratitude to the lineage of teachers who have handed them down to me.
