Birth is so much more than the visible physical process - it is a rite of passage, a transformation, that should be honored, revered and held sacred.
Somehow in today's birth culture we have a lot of focus on the baby, which of course is beautiful. Yet, I do feel like we forget about (or are in denial of) what birth is and what birth truly does and requires.
A mother birthing her baby is an immensely transformative process that requires of her to shed layers, that do not serve her in motherhood.
Today it is almost like we say to women that we don't believe they can do it, anyways, so we take more care of giving her all the options of medication instead of empowering her, reminding her of her innate wisdom and strength that is built into her.
A woman does not need anyone or anything to give birth - she doesn't. Her body is made for it.
What I focus on in my work is to offer guidance, as she remembers who she is, as she dares to connect to her intuition and to her body, as she dares to trust and believe in herself.
I cannot tell a woman what is right for her or not. But I can remind her of who she is. I can remind her of what birth means.
I also can guard her space, advocate for her wishes and hold her physically, emotionally and mentally as she goes through her process.
PREGNANCY & BIRTH
PREGNANCY & BIRTH
PREGNANCY
In your pregnancy we dive into the physiological, natural birth process, and what serves and does not serve it.
We will also dive into interventions and the evidence around them and create a birth plan / map.
What are your wishes for your birth?
Where do you want to give birth?
Who do you want to be around?
What questions do you have?
How are you going to enter into this rite of passage, transitioning into being a mother, transitioning into life with another child.
This and more can be what we discuss in our prenatal meetings.
I recommend a minimum of three prenatal sessions.
BIRTH
During your birth and the days leading up to birth I am by your side as your Doula, your birth advocate, your birth attendant, your sacred space holder. 'By your side' meaning 'there for what you need and wish for'.
Whether that be physical support, emotional support, spiritual support - what it looks like is up to you. I am there for YOU. Holding space for you to give birth to your baby. Holding space for your process. Holding you. Respecting you. No more, no less.
(Please note: birth support also includes being on call 24/7 for you from week 37 until your baby is born)
POSTPARTUM
POSTPARTUM
This sacred and tender period of time from the first seconds up to the first weeks and months (and beyond) after birth is only (only!) about you and your baby. It is about arriving. It is about healing. It is about bonding. It is about getting to know each other. It is about not only a baby being born, but a mother being born, a family being born. What all of that needs is space and quiet and safety.
