Why Doula Services?
Birthing my own babies in 2004 and 2009 completely changed my relationship with my body. Years of struggle with dis-ordered eating and body image transformed to trust, amazement, and gratitude. In the months after my babies were born, I remember wanting to yell to the world, “I just birthed a baby! Out of my body! Can you believe how AMAZING that is?!”
Neither birth went exactly how I’d envisioned it, and at the same time they were each perfect. The perfect way for each unique baby to enter the world. The exact way I was brought to the brink of my capacity for challenge and surrendered to the power of my body. The intuitive, compassionate, and grounded support I received from my husband, midwives, nurses, and doulas. I am forever grateful.
I am honored to support women and their partners in discovering their own journey, process, and power in bringing their babies into the world.
I believe every birth can be empowering, satisfying, and celebrated as the sacred transformation that it is, regardless of what actually happens with interventions and how that aligns – or not – with one’s birth plan. Preparation and support can make all the difference. Every woman deserves to have a birth focused on the unique journey that is this birth and this baby. A doula holds the space for reverence, while providing practical support, logistical strategizing, and support in achieving your goals and wishes for your baby’s birth.
