Description
Thrive Together Doulas
When I look back, the seeds for my involvement in birth work were planted in my own birth experiences. I prepared for a natural birth by choosing to give birth at a free-standing birth center and hiring a doula. My first birth was so long and hard. I labored for 27 hours, working hard to keep contractions coming, because my baby was in a wonky position. I didn’t know it at the time but my body was unbalanced, and that imbalance contributed my him being in a wonky position and having such a long, exhausting labor. I was so grateful for my friend and doula by my side at the birth center because she encouraged me and gave me the confidence to keep going. She was also there for the birth of my second baby, another empowering experience that shaped how I think about support during labor. After my second child’s birth, I felt deeply called to support other women in their journeys through pregnancy and birth. I began the training and certifying process and became a Certified Labor Doula in 2016 through Childbirth International. Since then, I’ve supported more than 100 women and each one has been so unique, sacred, and deeply impactful.
