When I was pregnant with my first, I was miserable. I felt I couldn't relate to the other women in my life. I was tired of people telling me what a beautiful experience pregnancy was, and how I had nothing to complain about. Even asking for help seemed like a strenuous task. I felt I just had to ride it out, and I missed an entire 40 weeks of my life because I didn't get the support I needed. It wasn't until I was pregnant with my second that I realized how long 40 weeks is! It's was so much of my life that I can never get back. Pregnancy can be a beautiful, yet humbling experience. Some women turn to older sisters, their mothers, or other friends that have already had children. But some women have no one to turn to. Whether it's due to distance, old wounds, or just a lack of emotional closeness. Because of my experience, I provide women with what I wished I had during my pregnancies. A companion to listen without judgment, protect your values and goals, and provide space to be in your own divine femininity. I will be there through pregnancy, labor, and birth. Pregnancy and birth builds us brick by brick into the mothers we are meant to become. Embrace the transformative magic in the process. As your doula, I will guide you to discover and confidently embrace your innate ability to navigate your ideal birth journey.
