Dear Doula

The doula behind the scenes. Ask me anything anonymously - I promise. Get no-holds-barred real talk from someone who has pushed out two kids already. Witness to birth and holder of space. Discrimination is real and unjust. Interested in birth justice, self-advocacy, and human rights. Sassy and opinionated. Tickled by research and evidence-based medical care. You can find me in combat boots, leggings, and old band shirts. I like to watch goat videos on YouTube in my spare time, please send your favorites. Postpartum depression and anxiety mom, hot mess mom, judgment-free zone. Practice self-care for proper mental hygiene. I drink too much coffee, not enough water, and the best craft beer. Doulas are birth companions who provide emotional, informational, and physical support for families during labor. I have no hands-on medical role in pregnancy or birth, nor am I a medical professional. All opinions are my own. #SSDGM. Tweet @DoulaDear.
