β€œIn birth, we find the courage we never knew we had and the strength that was there all along.” – Marcie Macari

Hi, my name is Bria Comer. I am a birth doula, as well as a dance teacher, licensed physical therapist assistant, and a mama to my son, daughter, and dog! I am so excited that you are considering the idea of a doula. I believe that everyone deserves the support and knowledge of a birth

doula to help make childbirth the beautiful journey it should be. My background in dance and physical therapy, in combination with my doula training, gives me valuable insight into the physiology of the perinatal time frame to help you embrace the power within your body. I have seen firsthand how positioning, massage techniques, intentional movement, and breath work help birthing individuals. My goal as your doula is first and foremost to support you with your needs and desires, whatever decisions you make. I am also interested in helping you learn about normal physiology and movement practices during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum to help empower and educate you. This will help you be in tune with your body and its needs as well, so you can continue to find strength and balance beyond our time together! I also use my knowledge and experience from over 6 years of working in pediatric physical therapy to help educate and guide you on normal infant development, if you are interested.

If you Google image search breastfeeding, you get mostly happy looking mamas and babies. And breastfeeding can be a happy and beautiful time! But it's also okay if it's hard, doesn't come as naturally as you hoped, and exhausting.

This week, we celebrate the mamas everywhere who are nourishing their babies. Know that you are strong, you are capable, and you are supported by your community.

Did you know doulas can help with lactation, and they have referral lists for more help if needed?

August began with a 1:30 am call for water breaking. Mama was intuitive, calm, assured in her decisions, and surrounded by love and family as she welcomed her beautiful baby girl at 8:13 am.

I got to see my own kiddos briefly after, before heading to a different postpartum client's house for a session of connection, nourishment, cleaning, and playing.

I am certainly exhausted, but my heart is so full with this beautiful welcome to a new month. Thank you, thank you for trusting me to be part of your journey πŸ’–

Happy Monday morning! Sending all the birth vibes to everyone who is hoping for a July birthday for their baby(ies) πŸ˜‰

Here's a quick checklist to help you get the beautiful birth experience you deserve. During birth, you might decide you don't actually want the playlist you prepared, the twinkle lights you packed, etc -- but arm yourself with the ability to stay calm, the knowledge of what's happening (plus a doula to remind you!), and the idea of all your postpartum snacks πŸ˜‹, and you'll be unstoppable.

All birth is sacred and deserves support, education, preparation, and advocacy! πŸ’–

Postpartum follow up has to include food for mama!

Homemade bone broth and beet hummus with (non-homemade lol) crackers for easy and quick nourishment and flavor. Honored to have gotten to see you and hold your sweet baby, and talk through your birth experience πŸ’–

This morning, I got to help birth a perfect baby girl (through support, advocacy, intentional positioning and movement, breath work, and lots of hip squeezes and jiggles, to clarify)
It was, without a doubt, one of the most amazing things I've ever seen, let alone take an active part in!

For the sake of mama's privacy I'm not posting any pictures of her or baby, but it was just such an incredible testament to the power of surrendering to things beyond your control WHILE ALSO holding strong to your preferences and desires.

This mama got thrown curveball after curveball and handled it all with such grace and presence of mind. It was an honor to be beside her and on her team, and an incredible gift to work alongside the rest of her birthing team.

Congratulations, mama!! Can't wait to keep walking alongside more mamas in their journeys! Maybe after some sleep anyway πŸ˜‰
