BIRTHKEEPER SUPPORT
“Birth is not a performance; it is a rite of passage, a sacred journey into the unknown.”
Birth is a sacred experience, a journey where you embark on a deep transformative initiation through the wilderness, the unknown portal. Not only is a baby born and come into earthside, but you are also reborn.
Do you feel anxious and stressed about the uncertainty and unknown throughout pregnancy, labor and birth?
Do you want to feel more empowered during pregnancy, labor and birth?
As a birth doula, I am here to protect the sacredness of you and your baby’s birth. I’ll be your companion, supporting you throughout your rite of passage. Present with you throughout each step of the way, no matter where you want to give birth, whether it is at a hospital, at a birthing center or in the comfort of your own home. You are supported through whatever happens expected or unexpected, even through cesareans or if and when you choose to have an epidural. There is no right or wrong way to give birth.
Somatic Embodiment practices will be incorporated, along with useful meditations and mindfulness guidance, to connect and feel safe within your body throughout your journey. I will also be a safe and compassionate space for you to be vulnerable, where you can let go and just be yourself, raw and unmasked, the full spectrum woman that you are. Your emotions, needs, desires and boundaries can be expressed here. I want to meet you with where you are at as each moment unfolds, allowing you to be felt, seen and heard. You do not need to change or be fixed in any way. You are enough just as you are.
Allow yourself to just be. I will be with you, asking you questions, inquiring and allowing you to dig deep within yourself for answers. There is no rush. No need to get anywhere.
It is my privilege to witness you and support you in your transformational journey
