Birth Work: Holding Your Sacred Journey With Deep Reverence
I recognize that the perinatal experience is not just a personal journey but also a political one. Access to compassionate, culturally sensitive, and individualized care is a right, not a privilege. As a doula, I am committed to advocating for you within the healthcare system, ensuring that your voice is heard and that your choices are respected. I stand for birth justice, which means working toward a world where every person has access to the care they need, free from discrimination or inequity.
In our time together, we will cultivate a space of radical love and care, honoring not only the birth of your child but also the birth of a new chapter in your life. This is a time for deep nourishment, not just for your body, but for your spirit and your sense of self. My work as a doula is to hold this space for you and to orient you toward safety and empowerment. Where your needs are valued as sacred and your journey is honored in all its dimensions.
What does a Doula do?
A doula is a support and guide who walks alongside you during one of life’s most profound transitions. Rooted in the ancient wisdom of community caretaking and grounded in the spiritual significance of deep transformation, a doula's role is to provide emotional, physical, and informational support throughout your pregnancy, labor, and birth. My goal is to create a container of grounded wisdom and trust. I want to ensure that you feel both held and fiercely strong as you navigate the waves of this journey.
A doula can offer a sanctuary where you are informed, where your needs are prioritized, your voice is heard, and your intuition is honored. I believe that birth is not just a physiological event but a spiritual rite of passage. My support is tailored to your unique experience, whether it’s through breathwork, gentle touch, meditation, affirmations, or simply being present with you in moments of vulnerability and power.
My packages are high-touch containers where you will never feel unsupported.
What does a Postpartum Doula do?
The postpartum period, often referred to as the "fourth trimester," is a time of immense change, healing, and adaptation. As a postpartum doula, I am here to create a nourishing and supportive environment where you can recover, bond with your baby, and integrate into your new role as a parent.
I emphasize the importance of rest, warmth, and nourishment for both your body and soul during this sacred time.
I will provide practical assistance, such as meal preparation, light housekeeping, laundry, and guidance on newborn care. But my support extends beyond the physical—it's about creating a spiritual and emotional container where you can process your birth experience, connect with your baby, and honor your journey. This is all done with conscious intention to ease your emergence and allow you to focus on what truly matters: healing and bonding within a framework of deep support.
These packages are offered in 4-hour shifts and are customized to you and your needs.
