I love being a doula. It has to be the best “job” in the world. I put quotes around job because although I work very hard, it doesn’t feel like work when it’s a passion.
Women know how to give birth. There’s this misconception that doulas help moms labor or empower them to give birth naturally, and that’s just not true. Women already possess everything in them to deliver their babies, they just need someone in their corner and someone to lean on, and THAT is what I do as a doula.

Someone recently asked me what my favorite part of being a doula was, is it the new babies? While new babies (or as I like to call them, “freshly squeezed”) are so delectable and exquisite, it’s not the babies that tug me to this work; it’s the women. Seeing them dig down into themselves and find bravery, strength, and triumph in the face of the most vulnerable and powerful physical and emotional task any human being can ever do is the most awe inspiring thing one could be honored to witness. I get to see that. I get to see these women climb mountains. That’s why I love what I doula.

Happy World Doula Week!

What is a doula?

A doula provides support to expectant women in labor and birth, as well as the prenatal and postpartum periods. She provides physical comfort measures to help cope with labor and facilitate progress as well as emotional, informational, and relational support throughout a woman’s pregnancy, birth, and immediate postpartum.

As a doula my role is never to replace dad, but to involve him in the way most suitable for your family!

Women were built to birth, but they need someone in their corner and someone to lean on. That’s what I’m here for!

I would love to walk alongside you in this journey, contact me today!
