VIRGIN GARDENS DOULA

CONNECT WITH THE DIVINE MOTHER TO HEAL YOUR PREGNANCY, BIRTH, AND MOTHERHOOD EXPERIENCE

A doula provides professional and evidence based support for mothers during pregnancy and after a mother gives birth. This support can be physical, emotional, and spiritual. A doula is not a medical professional, a doula is not a midwife, a doula is not a babysitter or a housekeeper.

My Doula Story: I became a community based postpartum doula in 2022 after completing training with Delighted to Doula in 2020 and the birth of my son in 2021. My goal is to educate and empower women during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, because even in today’s Age of Information, there are too many women that don’t know their options when it comes to motherhood. Pregnancy is one of the greatest divine feminine mysteries of life that can provide us with so much love and inspiration for God, our creator. While pregnancy and motherhood is normal and a common experience amongst humans, as that’s how we’ve all gotten here, it should be handled with divine reverence and treated as sacred, just like our ancestors knew, hundreds of thousands of years ago.

We live in a society deprived of Feminine Wisdom, and pregnancy is often a time when women come back to the Goddess in search of nurturing and guidance.

Virtual
Birth Planning

Did you know that you can have any type of birth that you desire? In this interaction, we will discuss all of your options when it comes to birth, and how to gracefully navigate your pregnancy.

Pregnancy and birth has become a highly medicalized event in our modern society. And while modern medicine has often been life saving in event of an emergency, pregnancy and birth is something our body has been made to do. Over time, we have forgotten how to trust in God’s design and how to trust in our bodies.
We now live in day and age where we have options when it comes to pregnancy and birth, but there are still so many women and families that don’t know what they’re options are! You have options for how you want things to be done, whether that’s laboring as much as you want at home, delaying cutting your baby’s umbilical cord, or even taking your placenta home! Book a FREE consultation with me if you would like to explore more.

  • Your birth planning sessions are sold as a package, consisting of four 1 hour virtual calls for a total of $200.

8 Limbs of MOTHERHOOD

4th Trimester Support with a yogic lens

My job as a Postpartum Doula is to nurture, educate, and help the new mother in the most empowering way. I hold space for the mother’s birth story, her changing body, and her embodied transformation.

In Western culture, a mother is often regarded as a goddess when she is pregnant, but as soon as the baby is born, everyone disappears. After giving birth, mothers are expected to return to regular life as we know it, but the reality is that life will never be the same after having a baby. It can be exhausting navigating motherhood with lack of sleep and lack of knowledge of the basics of caring for a baby, and it’s easy to feel like you’ve lost yourself or gone crazy. It’s no wonder that people often think “postpartum” means “depression”. With lack of support during one of the biggest transitions in life, anyone can feel like they’re drowning.

As a prenatal yoga teacher, I incorporate the principles of the 8 Limbs of Yoga and apply them to Motherhood as a postpartum doula. Exploring motherhood through a yogic lens is a holistic framework to navigate postpartum period and the Sacred Window.
The early postpartum window as described in ayurveda, yoga’s assisting science, is called “The Sacred Window”. This is the special 42 day window that occurs after giving birth that the ancients believed sets the stage for the rest of your life.

Each week we will discuss a branch of the 8 Limbed Path and how it applies to your journey as a mother. Along with using this spiritual philosophy, our time together consists of 6 weeks of virtual postpartum care as we explore your direct needs relating to caring for your new baby such as breastfeeding, sleep advice, nutrition, and rules for self care.

Allow me to support and be your guiding light through this beautiful moment of your life.

 

Your doula should also meet your spiritual needs

“There is a undeniable spiritual element that shows up for every woman when she is initiated into motherhood. As your doula I will support your healing on all four planes of the spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental changes you will undergo, with the tools of yoga, ayurveda, breathwork, ritual, and meditation”
