My Call to Doula Work
I was called by our Heavenly Father to assist mothers in birth & postpartum. I have been a devoted follower of Jesus for two years now, and in my relationship he has filled me with purity and a wonderful purpose.
As a mother, I know what it is like to lack support. I believe doulas & midwives work to nurture & hold mothers to bless future generations. I am so delighted to serve.
Approach to Birth
The most important thing I want expecting parents to know:
I am a nurturing, motherly figure and want to hold mothers so they feel safe and equipped with tools to position, advocate and sink into birth naturally. Pain does not mean Suffering.
Involving Fathers is so important for mothers to feel relaxed in labor. I teach best practices to support mama & increase oxytocin for reduced pain.
I also provide prayer for covering to invite the Holy Spirit
Emotional Support
All stages of pregnancy, birth and postpartum are so sacred, but all in all I want to help create a warm & loving environment in each phase. I will be actively listening to ensure you are validated and respected. I can offer prayer, a listening ear and help break down fear or other tricky emotions for optimal support. I am here as your friend and confidant.
Doula Misconceptions
Common misconceptions about doulas that I would like to address:
Doulas are not meant to step in, replace or disregard your partner. We encourage husbands to get involved and aid in the birth process. Doulas are not meant to make decisions for you, but to empower you and your partner to come prepared for birth!
