Tessa Bobir is a skilled doula with diverse methodologies, her passion lay in supporting both young women transitioning from childhood to young adulthood, as well as from Womanhood to Motherhood.

 

With over 10 years' experience, Tessa has and continues to work as a Doula (pregnancy support person), Womb & Fertility Massage Therapist, Peri steam hydro therapist, peer support worker and youth worker, providing emotional and physical education and support in the areas of Menstruation, Birth, Motherhood and Selfcare.

 

As a Young Aboriginal Mother herself, Tessa understands the need for forming a solid foundation of Love, security and informed knowledge for young women and growing families.

 

Tessa has created a 12-week program and hosts regular rounds, for young women from the ages of 11+, to gather, learn and practice together the importance of self-care, as well as respecting oneself and each other within the wider community.

 

A program she hopes to take into communities Australia wide.

about yha:

Yoni Herbs Australia was born from my own self-discovery and healing journey as young Aboriginal Woman and Mother. 

 

Finding myself in a very oppressive and often abusive colonial system that I was required to navigate as a solo and teen Mother, meant that I needed to learn fast in order to remain sovereign, and that's what I did, by utilizing up to date research, understanding my and therefore every human beings' human rights as well as learning assertive and non-violent communication.

 

Coupled with a fierce determination to self-advocate, protect my children at all costs, whilst remaining sovereign has meant I have been able to continuously ensure that I rather than the state am the one to make informed decisions, that align with my values & goals and that maintain my integrity.

 

By learning these skills which I often refer to as either "my healing" or "Decolonizing and RE- Indigenization" I often found myself encouraging others to do the same, being sought out for support as well as supporting conflict resolution processes and ensuring the needs of the most vulnerable are met.

​

My learning journey as a Woman and Mother and my passion of wanting to better understand my own cycle, prioritize and maintain a healthy way of life for my children and I, stems from the importance and often overlooked Indigenous way of being that is Holistic living, Holistic meaning to consider how all things are connected. 

 

If I want to see Mother Earth cared for, then I am to care for her, thus setting an example for my children, I teach them that all is connected, that how we behave creates a ripple effect, and that we have a choice, and can only learn from and improve ourselves and therefore our relationships and overall life by learning from said mistakes.​

​

My work as a Massage therapist, Yoni steam facilitator, Doula and women's circle facilitator cannot take place without the consideration of the whole person, the mental, physical and emotional health; Mind Body & Spirit.

 

I believe each client or participant I encounter is the expert of their own life.

​

It is my Mission to provide a safe space for each client and participant to unpack their feelings, hopes, fears and dreams, to be brought to a place of relaxation and deep rest in order to gather their thoughts and upon leaving their session feel more centered, focused and rejuvenated to create the life they so desire.
