I don’t typically write about my clients’ births. The stories, timelines, emotions- all of it- belong to them. Not me.

Over the years, one of the most important lessons I’ve learned as a doula is that the person living a birth, physically and emotionally, may experience it very differently from someone witnessing it from the outside. I never want to shape how you feel about your birth or suggest how you should feel. Those emotions are sacred, and they are entirely yours. If you ask me questions, I will always answer honestly, but gently, and with deep respect for your experience.
