Let’s cut out the old interview questions and get to the chase! What do YOU want for your birth? What is the philosophy you will birth by?

Are you looking for a doula? Did you pull up the list of interview questions  Was the first one "What is your birth philosophy?" Let me answer that for you. 

​MY PHILOSOPHY 
Doulas have ideas about birth philosophy, but those should be reserved for their own births. As an experienced doula my philosophy has changed and it ebbs and flows with each birth. My job as a doula is to support your birth, your wishes and desires. That looks different for every client. Some overlap and that’s ok, but each birth is as unique as you are.

I want you to be less concerned with my own birth philosophy and more concerned with how I connect with you, how I identify your needs and how I plan to equip you to meet those needs or how I can help meet those needs.


WHAT IS YOUR PHILOSOPHY? 
I have a system in place to get to the heart of your birth experience. It is not an automated system, because you are as human as I am, but it is a system that is fluid. It helps you and I understand your personality style and now that affects your birth, as well as understanding how you make medical decisions. Yes, we all differ in that, too! It is a way to share and connect with your partner about each others wishes in a unique, fun way.

I want to know about YOU. What I did in my own births should have no bearing on your births. What is YOUR birth philosophy? ​

If you would like to tell me about what is important to you at the birth of your baby & get help with learning how to meet your goals, lets get together and chat!
