Central Virginia Doula Services
offering kind, conscious, and comprehensive prenatal, birth, and postpartum support in central Virginia.
Birth is hard work, and you can do it.
Birth is a rite of passage as old as life itself. Traditionally, women were supported by their community of wise women as they transitioned from maiden to mother. In the modern world we have many conveniences and advantages, but not always do we have true community. As a doula, I bring this sisterhood into my service: holding space, sharing my knowledge and experience, and supporting individual needs.
Modern medicine, for all its benefits, cannot guarantee a safe or powerful birth, nor can it rival the intelligent design and divine wisdom of the undisturbed birth process. When the birthing person feels safe, respected, unobserved; when mother-baby skin-to-skin contact take place directly after birth; and when a breastfeeding relationship is begun early; the optimal foundation for life, healing, bonding, and mothering is established.
