As a therapist who works with women navigating all stages of life, I cannot stress enough how important support is during the perinatal period. That’s why I’m excited to share about the incredible work being done by the Beloved Birth & Beyond Collective!
Natalie Portman and Kahla Jurney are birth doulas who are passionate about empowering women through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum by providing physical, emotional, and informational support. Their care extends beyond just the birth itself – their presence can make a world of difference for your mental health too.
Here’s how having a doula can support your mental well-being:
• Reduced Anxiety: Having a doula by your side helps ease fears and anxieties by providing continuous reassurance and care.
• Emotional Stability: Doulas create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to express your feelings, easing emotional overwhelm.
• Informed Choices: They ensure that you feel empowered and confident in your decisions, reducing the stress of the unknown.
• Postpartum Support: Doulas offer essential guidance during the often challenging postpartum period, helping to ease feelings of isolation or baby blues.
Natalie and Kahla are committed to making your birth experience one of strength, peace, and joy – which can have lasting benefits on your mental health as a new mother.
If you’re expecting or thinking about your birth journey, I highly recommend reaching out to them for the love and care every family deserves!
