In Support of Labor Support
You already know and believe in the power of women to birth their babies in an empowering environment.
You help to create this environment through your important role as a doula or birth educator.
But what happens when you are a part of a birth that "goes wrong", or off the birth plan?
What happens when your client is unhappy with her "performance" or her experience?
Guilt, fear, disappointment, shame, blame, feelings of ineffectiveness, old memories of your own birth, can all resurface and create all kinds of problems.
This is a big deal...Because this is your heart-work.
This hits home in a personal way.
We carry these experiences forward into the next birth experience.
We carry these experiences into our home life, our marriages..our effectiveness as birth practitioners. Worst of all we can internalize these feelings, allowing them to get caught in our psyche, our patterns, attach them to other feelings, our business or personal relationships.
Collectively meeting with others can be a great experience for validation...But clearing these experiences out of your energy field is integral to your effectiveness as a birth practitioner and may need to be done privately.
Doula work is especially sacred to me, all of you women who are consciously ushering in this evolution of the next beautiful human being with Grace, need to be renewed so that your good work can continue. You and I feel strongly that an empowering birth experience can create a gorgeous, illuminated portal for new life...filled with beauty and love. It is my wish to fufill a need in a community that I adore. Please visit www.longislandgoddess.com for more info on how to book a private appointment with me.
