Utah Valley Doula

Isn't this just breathtaking?!? My sister sent this to me the other day and I keep looking back at it. I know I KNOW. I'm such a weirdo. I'm obsessed. Here's an excerpt from the 'About Me' section on my website that basically done it up for me. "I can’t help but bask in the magnitude of welcoming a new life into the world. Birth has always fascinated me. I remember knowing that I wanted to be involved in the delivering of babies as early as 11. I think that I could always feel how “big” birth was. That it was a sacred honor placed upon women to grow bodies- life! - inside their own. The ultimate power. As I grew plump and then delivered each of my own sweet babies, birth somehow became even more than that. Conception, pregnancy, labor, delivery, those first few oxytocin drenched hours with baby. It was all part of an all encompassing love story. Love story first between my husband and I that started it all. Then love at first sight as we held each baby for the first time. The part that I really didn’t anticipate was a new love for myself. “During pregnancy we are called to go deeper into our minds, our bodies, and our spirits than ever before.” I discovered that I had a strong will. That when times got tough, I got tougher. A connection with myself, awareness of my body, and a new sense of radiating power. Birth has the potential to be the most passionate, transcendent experience we will ever have. If moms feel heard. If space is held for her to feel, do, say, CHOOSE for herself and her baby, birth becomes the perfect gateway into motherhood."
