Here at Rise, Mama!, I provide doula services to the women of Oregon’s Rogue Valley. Whether you choose to work with me to support you during pregnancy, throughout childbirth, your postpartum period or a combination of these, you can rest assured knowing that I’ve got your back. During our time together, we will define which areas you would like to be supported in, what your values are and identify any and all needs you have. Whether your goals pertain only to your pregnancy, your birth experience or stretch way beyond that… I will walk beside you on this life changing journey.
So why “Rise, Mama!”? It all begins with the decision to welcome a child. For some, this journey begins years before conception, while for others the decision is made after a pregnancy is already established. You may be new to parenthood, or you may be a seasoned pro. However your journey with a pregnancy begins, a shift happens. A pregnancy changes you. It provides an opportunity to grow as a person, a parent, a woman… it provides an opportunity to rise like a phoenix from the ashes of what was before, into what is. A part of you gets left behind, while another emerges. Pregnancy and birth are transformative experiences. Our ability to adapt and overcome throughout this journey, is unmatched. We, as women, are uniquely equipped to rise to the challenge of motherhood. When we birth our babies, we travel to our depths and emerge anew. We rise.
