birth work
I support pregnant people of any gender and their families during the sacred months around birth.
As your doula, I am present for
pregnancy
labor + birth
and post-partum care.
Pregnancy support includes:
physical, mental, and spiritual preparation for labor,
support navigating the healthcare system,
emotional companionship,
birth planning and visioning,
herbal and nutritional care,
and birth-team building.
Labor is labor!
I will be there for your birthing process, however it unfolds.
Post-partum care can include:
herbal and nutritional support for the birthing body, birth narratives and photos, placenta encapsulation, help with breastfeeding, supporting the rest of the family as they welcome a newborn, hands-on care, and ritual completion of the pregnancy journey.
I bring a loving and open-hearted presence to the birthing process, and a conscious intention to nurture your specific cultural and spiritual needs.
I also offer ritual companionship, witness, and plant support for
other forms of pregnancy release
including stillbirth, miscarriage, abortion, and menses.
Birth doula support is by nature in-person, so I am limited to accepting clients who live within a 50-mile radius of where I am living during the three months on either side of your due date. Pregnancy is also a potent time to engage in ancestral medicine work. I am happy to hold ritual space for pregnant people (and their co-parents, if desired) to engage the support of their well ancestors in welcoming a new descendent. This work can happen remotely or in person.
