So much! I love watching mothers' realize their wants and needs in labor and postpartum. I REALLY love when they realize they are going to be met! There is a beautiful freedom that fills a woman's spirit when she is fully supported in her birth and postpartum.
I'm most proud of my birth-world knowledge base and my ability to adapt to my client's needs. I have attended births where my client needs to be allowed to labor on her own, listening to her own body without interruption. Other times mothers may want more hands on support, with fierce mantras about strength and a variety of position changes. Many times, client's needs change during their labor depending on what they prefer at that time. My job is to know what your needs are and to fulfill them to the best of my ability!
My best friend's mom growing up was a home birth midwife and I learned a lot from her about what birth CAN and SHOULD look like. After attending my sister's hospital birth, where her birth team was disrespectful and pushy, I decided only home births for me! After my own home birth team was also disrespectful and pushy, I realized that WHO is in your birth space is as important as WHERE.
I started researching, learned about doulas, and quickly discovered a passion for birth work. My goal is to have every family I support to feel completely heard and respected in their birth spaces.
I am so happy that you are looking into getting more support on your journey to grow your family!
