Jubilee Doula

WHAT is a doula/birthkeeper?

​

I provide you with information, encouragement and empowerment for the birth journey!  I'm your voice of wisdom, quiet and sure, helping you understand your options and your ability.  Modern childbirth has experienced many years of wing clipping - meaning, choices and personal empowerment are limited more and more all the time.  If you're looking to give birth from your own courage, trust in the body God gave you, listening to your intuition and focusing on your body's signals - you might want someone to work with you in labor, help you plan and remind you of your goals along the way. 

 

A birthkeeper/doula works with you and the father of your baby to keep you on task and on top of the birth situation.  Childbirth is all about trusting your own body and your Maker.  It's all about listening to your baby's needs and working with your own self.  Can you do all that without a personal guide/helper?  SURE!  But it only makes sense to lean on the ancient traditions that have brought countless others through the pregnancy, birth and infancy. Some have called this "mothering the mother" - a doula literally serves the needs of mothers as they give birth.  You can do the impossible with the right help and equipping.  I've seen it over and over again. 

 

You need to feel safe, sure of your self, attuned to your body and soul, aware of your baby's wellbeing and needs and able to trust those you've chosen to walk you through this beautiful life event.
