Hello! My name is Chelsea!
Birth + Postpartum Doula
Childbirth, Postpartum and Infant Feeding Educator
​
As a Childbirth Educator, Doula and proud birth nerd, my love is knowledge!
One of my favorite quotes is: "The more you know, the less you fear".
I am passionate about sharing a deeper understanding of what is happening to our bodies, minds, and emotions during Pregnancy, Birth and Postpartum. Birth is driven by hormones so it is no surprise that this processes causes some intense emotions! Birth is meant to be emotional, and it is common for this to lead to feelings of vulnerability and anxiety.
I absolutely love it when a deeper understanding of birth, our bodies and our minds leads to a growing confidence to practice self-Advocacy!
This is YOUR Birth, your body, and your baby!
Encouraging you to take control of your experience and providing the knowledge to make decisions with confidence is my JAM!
My Story
I became a Doula and Educator AFTER the birth of my 2 bebes. I walked into my Birth and PP experience knowing essentially nothing! Despite this, after the birth of my bebes I felt so epic! I felt like a frickin champ that just conquered the world!
How, you might ask....? Because I had a Doula! It was a happy coincidence that my mom filled the role of Doula. She had experience supporting low intervention births and went above and beyond the role of mother to truly offer me the full spectrum of support. I felt confident, I felt safe, and I trusted her to let me know if something became unsafe. The result... I birthed with confidence!
After my experiences I would share my birth story with whoever wanted to listen! What I discovered, however, is that most of my friends and family did not feel epic after giving birth. Their stories were tinged with feelings of vulnerability, anxiety, and in some cases Trauma. How could this be? Why did Birth look like this for them?
I came across the profession of Doula a few months after the Birth of my 2nd child. I continued to research it, and realized "This... this is what I want to do!". Thus my journey to become a Doula and offer that same support to others.
I am now many years into this profession, and being a Doula continues to be major passion of my life!
