MY PHILOSOPHY AS A DOULA
Informed, Supported Births.
Pregnancy and parenting are topics saturated with advice and opinions. Doula support can help you to make birthing and parental choices for your family with evidence based information, paired with your care provider's medical recommendations. With gentle understanding that you know what feels right for your body, always.
Connie is an accomplished doula and student midwife, supporting all birth preferences, including medicated, unmedicated, vaginal birth, surgical birth/cesarean, VBAC, and in all birth settings (hospital births, home births, and birth centers.) With professional experience assisting with singleton and multiples pregnancies.
I'm committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in my practice of Anti-Racist, Disability inclusive, and LGBTQIA+ affirming doula support.
Nurture
Nurturing new families as they move through the childbearing year is so important for a positive overall experience. As a birth and postpartum doula, I understand the physiological process and emotional needs that come along with welcoming a baby into your family. I also bring reminders of your strength and to check in with your needs without judgement, knowing you will have full support.
Support
Quality support during the childbearing year has to be flexible. I hold families throughout their entire pregnancy with trauma informed care and doula support. I help people with individualized guidance and resources, especially now during Covid-19 when medical care-providers are not always able to be as intimately involved prenatally as they once were. When you choose to work with a doula, you will have physical, emotional, and informational support during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum that is continuous and personalized. As your doula, I feel that good support also means bringing attention to body autonomy, respect, informed consent, and amplifying your voice.
Clarity
There's quite a bit of jargon in the medical world, which most people aren't completely familiar with. As your doula, I can walk alongside your family with tools to keep information clear and concise for decision making at your own pace.
Partnering with your clinical care team, doula support helps to ensure that you will understand all of what's happening and your choices.
Connection
Feeling connected and understood by your birth team is a significant element of having a positive birth experience. It's also important that the birthing person and their birth partner(s) are able to focus and move intimately together through a big physical, emotional, and mental work.
Connection is also the focus of my Hypnobirthing Courses prenatally (group course, hybrid course, and independent course available) -- to make space for clear communication and understanding while demystifying what happens in the body during birth.
When working with a doula, partners are able to participate in all the ways they feel most comfortable and confident. Want ideas for comfort measures and supportive labor positions? Your doula has suggestions! You know your person best, and your doula knows the labor comfort tools and techniques.
we do so from our core -- not just the core of our bodies, but the core of ourselves.
We are open and vulnerable during
and after birth, and the energy that is
around us is the energy that we absorb. It becomes a part of the inner voice that guides us."
