Birthed: Why I Decided to Become a Doula

The word doula is greek for “one who serves,” which I find to be a beautiful meaning for the word. The heart and posture of a doula is to come alongside and lovingly serve families as they enter the sacred portal of birth and bring a new life into the world. I truly believe that the way a person is born matters, and it is so important to prioritize experiences of safety, comfort, empowerment and connection in the birthing room.
