This week I had the profound honor of supporting not one but two young couples as they welcomed their newborn into this world! Their birth journeys, while profoundly different, both resulted in a "healthy mom, healthy baby!" But as a doula, I strive for so much more! I held space for their worries, their fears, their ultimate joy! Not all of their carefully crafted birth plans were met but when changes needed to happen they felt informed, heard and supported. I've discovered that the greatest compliment to receive is hearing " We couldn't have done it without you!!" (And I always reply, "I'm so glad you didn't have to!" Doula work...is work from the heart!💜
