What is a Doula Series Wrap-Up

Our time with the “What is a Doula Series” is coming to a close.

Here, I would like to offer you a little summary of the topics that contribute to how a doula encourages parents to feel “Capable of Anything,” when it comes to birth and immediately postpartum

Your doula is a touchstone and guide throughout the birth process. We meet you where you are. Provide the tools you need to make your own informed decisions.

We stand, squat, dance, sit with you, providing continuous, uninterrupted and nonjudgmental support.

I wanted to find a way to use that creativity in relation to my desire to continue pursuing birth work as a life path. Birth Matters as well as Art, and I want to combine them in a meaningful way. Here I share how I have begun to do just that.
