It’s been a long time since I’ve been active on this page, and unfortunately I’ve missed some messages over the past few months inquiring about doula services. I am still serving women as a doula, but only to repeat clients or close friends. Unfortunately, I don’t have the capacity to take on new clients at this time but if that ever changes I’ll be sure to update on here!

I so appreciate all of the love and all of the recommendations past clients give to friends & family, I wish I could get to know all of you and your families! It’s such a gift to serve women in this way. I can’t believe I’ve been doing this for 6 years now, praise the Lord!

Best wishes to everyone on their hunt for a good doula fit!

Walk into a room while I am supporting a birth and you might think that I am just sitting there doing nothing. I won’t be talking. I won’t be touching the client. I won’t be using anything in my bag.

So what am I doing exactly?

🪑 Watching mom’s breathing and sometimes breathing loudly alongside her to remind her to slow down her breath

🪑 Scanning mom’s body during the contraction to make sure that she isn’t holding any tension

🪑 Monitoring the temperature and lighting to create the peaceful environment that she desires

🪑 Calculating how long it has been since she emptied her bladder

🪑 Thinking about how long she has been in her current position and thinking about the next position that she might try

🪑 Timing contractions to see if they are longer, stronger and closer together

🪑 Thinking about when mom and her partner last had a snack

🪑 Reviewing her preferences to make sure that everything is going according to her plan

🪑 Giving the couple space to connect on an intimate level (allowing for oxytocin) and/or guiding the partner to be the lead support

🪑 Updating notes and capturing labor flow

Sometimes just being fully present is enough. Sometimes just knowing I am there in close proximity is all mom needs to be able to relax and focus on what she needs to do. Sometimes just holding space for them in an unbiased manner allows for a noticeable shift in the energy of the room.

And the list goes on….

I tell my clients this all the time đź”®

Just because you're 1 cm or 6 cm dilated right now doesn't mean we can predict when baby will arrive. ⏳ Cervical dilation alone isn't the full story!

✨ Here’s what to remember:

đź’ś Dilation can change quickly (or slowly) and that's okay.

đź’ś Relaxing your body and mind can help dilation progress.

đź’ś Stay upright and moving during labor.

💜 Switch up positions often to encourage baby’s descent.

đź’ś Trust that your body and baby are working together!

Your cervix is just one piece of the puzzle. Trust your journey!
