Celebrating two years!!!

1/20/2014

0 Comments

 
    Yesterday was such a fabulous gathering of past clients, current clients and future clients and their families, including their new additions! We had a fabulous turnout and felt so blessed to be surrounded by so many smiling faces. Birth stories were shared. A few tears were shed, because hey, birth is emotional!!! Listening to each birth story from the perspective of the parent(s) is always such an amazing thing. Seeing the sense of accomplishment in their eyes and strength in their voice serves as reminder every time, to every one listening, that birth is powerful, and amazing, and transformative.

    The one and only regret from yesterday is that no-one remembered to take any photos! If any of you who came did, please, please share!!!

    Looking forward to the year ahead and all else that is to come.

Postpartum visits and beyond

PictureMe with one of my "doula babies" at 6 months of age and my youngest daughter, Layla.
As doulas we are honored with getting to know new families and watching them grow. We get to learn what they want and expect out of their births, and how they hope to achieve those goals. We get to know what their fears may be, we get to educate and inform them about anything they may be pondering. In a nutshell, we thrive on providing educational and emotional support before, during and after the birth, as well as physical support during labor.

Now back to the after part, that precious postpartum time. We meet with new families in their homes to reconnect after the labor that we all had a chance to experience together, once or twice, sometimes more if needed. Occasionally the connection remains well beyond that initial postpartum time, and especially now with social media, that has become an easier and easier reality. Not much delights me more than receiving a call from a past client asking if we could meet for coffee or a walk through the park, maybe even an invitation to their little ones first birthday. To all of you who I had the pleasure of serving in the past, and to those that will come my way in the future, I treasure you, each and every one. ~Kim

Labor positions

1/2/2014

We recently looked at the use of birth balls and shawls to get comfortable in different positions, but what about water, stools, rocking chairs, chairs, beds, pillows, walls and your support people? There are so many ways to get as comfortable as possible and we want to help you get familiar with them. Hope to see you there!
