I shortly learned that mamas in labor *need* womanly support-a Doula is that person who physically, mentally, and emotionally serves to join the mama and help guide her through one of the most difficult yet rewarding experiences of her life. This work-serving mothers, their families, and babies, is unlike anything else. It’s not just a job, it is a calling; one which supports a community that empowers women to trust their instincts and build one another up. I can relate to the intensity and beauty that comes with pregnancy and birth because I too am a mother who has experienced the difficulties and ambiguity of birth, but also because I’ve dedicated much of my therapeutic training to the perinatal field. I apply both my motherhood instincts and education to my work and am deeply enthusiastic about working alongside such amazing women as they navigate motherhood.
