What do I Doula?
The labor, birth, and postpartum periods of our lives can seem like an enigma wrapped in a riddle. We can feel strong and empowered one day and the next question our own sanity. The thing is, historically speaking women don't do this alone. Doulas have served along side laboring women for as far back as our history is documented. So, what do I Doula exactly?
I serve you during and after labor regardless of where. (house, birth center, or hospital)
Simply put, I accept and honor your journey. I tend to your needs based on what you request of me sprinkled with my knowledge and intuition of the normal birth process. I often look for opportunities to help involve your loved ones that you wish to have present and encourage the dynamic which is most comfortable for you.
My Training
For me, certification was important and I chose to certify as a Labor and Postpartum Doula through a company that matched my enthusiasm for helping women. Madriella believes all women deserve to be supported and knowledgeable about birth as do I. It is my goal to share their fundamental principles with the families I work with. Shedding light on the natural birth processes and empowering families to take control of their birth stories is such an important part of remembering the strength we embody within.
My Journey
To say I have been passionate about birth my entire life would be a bit of a fib but what I can say, and what everyone who knows me knows… I was in love with the fantasy of my own births. I have always danced to the beat of my own drum so it did not come as a surprise when I said with certainty that I wished to birth my babies as naturally as possible. Family joked because I could barely get through stubbing my toe without shouting out loud and I also sorta had my fears of course. Like many families we took a class and it helped me work through the fears. After all, I already knew that my body could do just about anything I set my mind to because of my Mother’s own birth stories.
Yet it was not until I experienced labor and birth first hand that my path became clear.
As it happens, during my labor a Doula came in to talk for a few minutes and she even showed my mom how to put counter pressure on my lower back to assist with the pain I was feeling. I learned that unlike drugs Doulas offer a great deal more in the form of support and knowledge that can help minimize the pain and keep you focused. I learned just how invaluable their knowledge put to action can be and how seamlessly they help your spouse or loved one engage and support as well. In that moment I knew I needed to become a Doula. It was because of this small yet defining interaction that Sacred Oasis Birth Services was conceptualized and to my absolute joy has become a reality.
