10 years ago, I answered the calling of becoming a doula. Over the course of a decade, I only have a handful of photos of myself working as a doula. In 2021, my sweet friend, and private client, hired me as her doula and share her photography of her home birth with me.
In these photos, I see all the ways I show up in birth and postpartum. You may notice I don’t have a million toys in my hands, in fact, most of the time I’m not even touching my clients.
And that’s because I know the power of every person who steps into the birth portal: she doesn’t need me, she deserves the support. And I know my power. I don’t need to control, manage or facilitate any birth. I am there to witness, protect, pace, help her make her own decisions, love on her, affirm her, and create a warm, safe space.
I’m so grateful to these captures from Linnéa Geiger - Photographer a true artist working in her gifts!
I truly believe I was a doula before I stepped into this calling, and I will forever be a doula to humanity. 🌀
