In a world that expects you to live primarily in your head, birth is one event that does not ask - but demands you return to your body. Birth happens in the in-between. The liminal space. At the edge of reality, straddling the line between worlds. Time both slows and speeds, feels both endless and gone in an instant. Our great work is to surrender to its unknown, relinquish the control of our minds and sink in to the wisdom of our bodies, who have navigated this space once before in our own lifetimes, when we too, entered the world. As a keeper of birth knowledge, I’ve both been gifted and worked for the tools and wisdom that allow me to support, witness, and hold space for all those entering this revered place. The homeland of birth is our body. Lets travel it together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc1db2aabaecd331828f329/1611775531498-OUSYETFYP41HP5PR2BHG/Musing+of+a+witchy+writer+on+We+Heart+It.jpg Home - Holistic Doula Care Care for the Mind, Body, and Spirit. It is evidenced based information to support you making informed choices. It is a balanced approach between the medical and intuitive models of care. It is connection to the body. It is support for the spirit. It is a guiding force that allows you to explore what your heart and gut tells you. It is providing as much or as little information as you need to make your decisions without becoming overwhelmed. A holistic doula understands the most important aspect of your pregnancy is ~trusting your body~ and attuning to it in order to make fully informed and sovereign decisions. Know that while you can hire a doula at anytime, choosing to work with one from early on in your pregnancy will offer you the most benefits, by supporting you with evidence based information to inform your choices, along with offering energetic based support for the mind and spirit through affirmations, meditation, attuned listening, and fully witnessing you exactly as you are. With a fierce belief in you as the expert in your experience, and your ability and capacity to navigate this incredible transformation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc1db2aabaecd331828f329/1611688605161-SSV4Q1G35TE1D7KNX1WG/homebody2_transparent-01.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc1db2aabaecd331828f329/1606623881164-0BK5LIPAUONDKAF46WVL/dsa.2020.memberbadge.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc1db2aabaecd331828f329/1611688658779-WQG6ZOIH8D1IAHPKLJUE/Homebody_transparent-01.png Home https://www.homebodybirth.ca/resources daily 0.75 2022-02-12 https://www.homebodybirth.ca/offerings daily 0.75 2025-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc1db2aabaecd331828f329/1611776379253-Z8LYG2UJ9R6UIROV6IZM/Tickled+Pink+Moon.jpg Offerings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc1db2aabaecd331828f329/1611795687859-AYUJ08EOQ6WSC3UMQMC7/generic+dream.jpg Offerings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc1db2aabaecd331828f329/1611795501426-BZXX9DA6MUEV21QNXR0U/Blue+Mountain+Pink+Sky+Canvas+Print.jpg Offerings https://www.homebodybirth.ca/about daily 0.75 2021-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc1db2aabaecd331828f329/1616044142983-8EWYN806TTSN3P92V3T2/5B958295-DDE3-49CD-850B-233E03FDF8F9.jpeg Meet Carissa https://www.homebodybirth.ca/testimonials-1 daily 0.75 2022-04-18 https://www.homebodybirth.ca/contact-2 daily 0.75 2024-10-16 https://www.homebodybirth.ca/meet-back-ups daily 0.75 2022-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc1db2aabaecd331828f329/1620767185425-XZ5JJ3OQKHAAP66MZET9/WhatsApp+Image+2021-03-23+at+9.04.00+PM+%282%29.jpeg Meet Back Ups - Martha Lanphear Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

I am a full spectrum Doula offering care from pregnancy loss, birth, to postpartum support. I love being outdoors, reading, yoga, meditation and anything to do with wellness! I became interested in becoming a Doula after being present for the birth of my first niece. My sister had an 18 hour, unmediated birth, facilitated by a wonderful Doula and Midwife. I marveled at how my sister harnessed her own strength, went deep within herself and her persistence in birthing how she chose! I am captivated by the human body's ability to create life. I believe birthing people are powerful beyond words. Navigating pregnancy, preparing for childbirth and becoming a new parent can be uncertain, and even challenging as we can get inundated with information. I will guide you in feeling prepared for your journey ahead. I believe being educated about what is happening in your body during birth can allow you to relax through the process and allows you, and your family to make informed decisions. My goal is to instill trust in your body and your intuition. Whether you are wanting a home birth, hospital birth or planned caesarean, I want you to feel respected, safe and supported! As a postpartum Doula my care is focused on the birthing person, holding space for you through your transformation and shining a light on your intuition. https://www.homebodybirth.ca/contract daily 0.75 2022-07-25
