Two Things We give Our Children: One is Roots; The other Wings"
My Passion...
Birth as it is today is filled with fear. We hear horror stories of peoples births that were long and painful. We hear language like "they let me or didn't let me". Movies with birth scenes also paint an unrealistic picture of birth as well. Sometimes even the things our care provider or family members say to us can plant seeds of fear. This fear has an enormous effect on labour, which can lead to the need of pain medications or interventions. I am not against using these tools when needed, I just believe they can be avoided by simply educating families and having proper continuous support.
This brings me to why I became a Doula...
My passion is to support families through their journey of parenthood. I believe every birthing person deserves to feel respected and confident, going into birth and parenthood. I want your birth experience to leave you feeling empowered! The way this happens looks different for everyone. I support you in however you want to birth without judgment. I am here to educate you, support you, and advocate for what you want. Through educating families about what to expect in birth and postpartum it removes the fear of the unknown. As well allows for educated decision making as the need arises. Empowering you to trust your body and your instincts. Our bodies are amazing and were made to birth!
