I bring an understanding of how Birth works. In doing so, I offer you and your family a complete container for receiving Life and giving Birth in wholeness, presence and grace.
The openness and intimacy of the birth process requires honesty from everyone involved. From our inhalation and exhalation, our silence and sound, we come into the present, in union, in this state is where you will know without a doubt what needs to be done. And you will be free to do it.
Dads, Partners, Grandmothers, Aunties, Friends
I do not replace the father or anyone you are close to. Instead, I take away fear and enable them to help you in simple, practical ways. They can breathe and sound with you. Take turns massaging you and applying counter-pressure to relieve pain. Draw you a bath. Play music you like. Bring food and drink. Fear and anxiety melt and your family can participate in the birth in a deep, nurturing way. A doula is not just a gift to the birthing woman and her child but is a gift to all who love her.
