Jubilee Doula

Welcome!  I'm so happy you're looking into having a "Jubilee" birth.  In ancient Bible times the year of Jubilee was meant to be a time when ALL slaves and bond-servants were set free and got a fresh start on life!  I've seen how birth can be a "jubilant" event in many lives...both for mothers and fathers, but also for whole families.  Jubilee is a lifestyle of freedom and confidence - to me it just speaks of hope and the beauty of newness.  The point is that you are free to bring your child into this world without fear, worry, trauma, abuse, etc.  A good doula will help facilitate your best birth experience and will stand as a kind of protector, making a truly safe space for you to be free to birth in peace.  Hospital, birth center, home...I am here to walk you through and help you do what you believe is best for your own body, mind and spirit.  I work with dads too, helping them be the best possible support they can be so ideally, your family will be strong and well bonded as a unit stepping into the new parenting world.  YES, men are important to the family unit and should be as included and involved as they are willing/able to be.  God designed the family and the father of your child is important in many ways.

​

In the case of single or teen moms - I am extremely glad to support you!  A single or young mother should have even more support no matter the circumstances because a supported, nurtured mother will be more able to love and attend to the needs of her child.  You need the loving hands of support too.  THIS is also for moms who plan on adoption for their babies.  Don't hang back, get the help you need!  You're about to do the most brave and self sacrificing thing, no shame in that and let's remove the fear and trauma as much as can possibly be done.

​

What a joyful time.  Celebrate the great thing God is doing and trust HIM to bring you through "such a time a time as THIS"!  Every single child is something to celebrate and rejoice over.  But life can be hard and surprise babies can be hard to process when they were not our plan.  God knows what he's doing and he can be trusted even in the shocking situations.  No matter how you're feeling right now about the baby you carry, I want to help you experience the joy and grace God has for you in this time.  For some moms the thought of childbirth is enough to be overwhelming and fearful.  If you've been told the horror stories of birth abuses or things the went "wrong" - if birth has been presented to you as a kind of torture, the thought of going through those events can seem extremely unpleasant and it might be hard to overcome the way birth as been presented to you.

What I will never support is any form of abortion/termination of the unborn.
