Many people hire a doula, believing that our role is to shield them from the broken maternity system. I understand why. The system is flawed – riddled with coercion, unnecessary interventions, and a culture that often strips pregnant women of their autonomy. But the truth is, I can’t protect you from the system. No doula can.
What I can do is protect you from yourself.
From the doubts that creep in when you’re told, ‘You’re not allowed‘.
From the fears that whisper, ‘What if something goes wrong?‘
From the well-meaning but inexperienced partner who, in a moment of uncertainty, looks to the medical staff for answers instead of to you.
Because when you’re in labour, there will be moments – when you might question everything, when exhaustion threatens to overpower you, when fear tells you to surrender to the system, even when you know in your bones that your body is capable.
And that’s where I come in.
Standing in Unwavering Confidence – So You Can Too
I don’t waver.
I don’t doubt your body’s ability to birth.
I don’t second-guess the power of physiology.
Because I have seen it. I have witnessed the strength you don’t yet know you have. I have watched birthing women reach the edge, stare into the unknown, and emerge stronger than they ever believed possible.
So when you falter, I hold the vision.
When you question yourself, I remind you of your truth.
When your partner looks lost, I ground them in their role.
My job is not to fight the system for you. It’s to make sure that if/when the system presses against you, you don’t collapse under its weight.
Radical Responsibility: The Key to a Physiological Birth
If you want a physiological birth in a system that isn’t built for it, you have to take radical responsibility. No one is coming to save you – not me, not a midwife, not a doctor. You must be the one who stands firm in your decisions.
But you don’t have to do it alone.
I will stand beside you, reminding you of your power. I will anchor you in your choices, your preparation, and your Birth Manifesto®. I will be the steady presence when the room feels chaotic, when fear tries to creep in, if the ‘dead baby card’ gets played, and when coercion is dressed up as ‘policy’.
If you let me, my unwavering confidence will become yours. And together, we will walk this journey – not fighting the system, but refusing to let it dictate your birth.
Your Birth, Your Power – Start Here
Owning your birth experience begins long before labour starts. It requires deep reflection, clarity, and the confidence to stand in your choices. That’s why I created Discover Your North Star: Create a Birth Manifesto for an Empowered and Intentional Birth.
This course is for those who know that a standard antenatal class isn’t enough. It’s for those who are ready to do the inner work, to step into their power, and to prepare for birth on their terms.
If you’re ready to take ownership of your birth, break free from fear, and align with your vision, this course will guide you every step of the way.
