More private insurances are now covering my doula services!

Previously only Medicaid did, but more and more insurances are seeing the benefit of doula support such as:

🌹a Doula can reduce the length of labor by the average of 25%. 🌹Continuous labor support from a doula decreases the likelihood of Caesarion by 39%.
🌹Women with Doula‘s report a 31% decrease in the use of pain medication.
🌹Doula supported birth have a 15% higher rate of spontaneous vaginal deliveries.
🌹Mothers with Doula‘s experience increased satisfaction with their birth experience.
🌹Doulas can improve breast-feeding success rates in the postpartum period.

What does a Doula do? In addition to what is listed on my dedicated birth worker site

A simple act of an infant being held skin to skin with their mother, feeling protected and warm, and receiving its basic life sustaining need of milk is one of the babies earliest programming of their nervous system. And this basic need being met in such a close and loving way imprints a message that they are safe and this message of safety goes a long way in how that human reacts to its environment for the rest of their life. Hold that baby close. It’s not possible to spoil an infant. Until about 10 months of age, they do not have the decision making capacity to know that when they cry, someone comes. When they cry, that means they need something.

Mamas! Remember it is your right to take your placenta home with you when baby arrives. This amazing organ supported your baby for nine months and it’s the only organ that your body can create on its own. I would be honored to handle the encapsulation, but remember you can always also do a placenta print or shadowbox with your baby’s name and information or take it home, plant it under a tree or feed it to your chickens! :-) PS. It is not a biohazard, but my regulations require me to label it that way. Learn more at my website www.breathingthroughbirth.com.

“All the eggs a woman will ever carry form in her ovaries while she is a four-month-old fetus in the womb of her mother.

This means our cellular life as an egg begins in the womb of our grandmother.

Each of us spent five months in our grandmother's womb, and she in turn formed in the womb of her grandmother.

We vibrate to the rhythm of our mother's blood before she herself is born, and this pulse is the thread of blood that runs all the way back through the grandmothers to the first mother.

Did you know that when men are standing at a urinal in a public toilet if someone suddenly and noisy burst in, many men will find their “water cut off.” And then it takes a few moments of relaxation before they can once again be able to resume urination. The same thing happens in the vulnerable process of labor and birth. All mammals have programmed in protection and these evolutionary behaviors take over in humans when we go into labor and perceive danger. This is why a mother needs calm, quiet, and the presence of people who make her feel safe. ❤️

The 4th trimester is a lot. Here's your herbal backup. Afterpains. Baby blues. Milk supply. Clogged ducts. These four formulas were crafted by a midwife with decades of postpartum experience - liquid support for every hard moment after birth!

I love to see my doula babies grow!

Unfortunate but true. Preparation is not only physical, learning about movement and aligning the pelvis, but also emotional preparation really matters! This is where a Doula can help. We can help be your advocate, help you prepare your body, look at your nutrition, I can give suggestions for natural herbs, teach you breathwork, prenatal yoga, Hypnobirthing and spinning babies techniques, and more. Yes, birth is a natural process, but I see too many moms that go into it relying on your doctor or Midwife in a hospital setting. Their goals are not your goals.

Would you like an effective method for pumping more milk? Until 2009, most of us assumed that when a mother used a breast pump, the pump should do all of the milk-removal work. But this changed when Jane Morton and her colleagues published a ground-breaking study in the Journal of Perinatology.The m...
