🌙 Being On Call as a Doula 💛
Being a doula isn’t a 9–5 job. It means I keep my phone on day and night, ready to leave at a moment’s notice — whether it's 3 in the afternoon or 3 in the morning.
It means walking away from dinner with my family, missing holidays, or stepping out of bed in the middle of the night… all to be fully present with a birthing person who needs support, love, and strength through one of life’s most powerful and vulnerable moments.
The cost of doula support isn’t just about time spent at a birth — it’s about the commitment to be ready at any moment. The emotional labor. The preparation. The sacrifice. And most of all, the honor of being invited into this sacred space.
If you've had a doula or are considering one, just know — we don’t take it lightly. We show up, every time, heart first. 💛
