There’s a narrative floating around right now that doulas should be quiet, hands-off, almost invisible at births…
And while I totally understand where it’s coming from, it’s missing something really important.
Birth is not one-size-fits-all.
And neither is support. What one might need another might not.
Yes there are moments in labor where a woman goes inward.
Where silence is sacred.
Where doing less is exactly what’s needed.
But there are also moments where she needs:
a steady hand to ground her
a voice to anchor her
guidance when she feels like she’s unraveling
someone to remind her where she is and that she’s safe
Support is not interference.
Misattuned support is.
A skilled doula doesn’t just “do nothing.”
She tunes in.
And that tuning in… is everything.
It’s not random.
It’s not performative.
It’s a deep, moment-to-moment listening.
Listening to:
the rhythm of her breath
the tension or softness in her body
the sounds she’s making
the way she responds to touch or pulls away from it
the subtle shift between coping and spiraling
It’s noticing when she’s gone inward in a powerful, physiological way…
versus when she’s drifting or feeling lost.
It’s knowing when to:
step in with firm, grounding presence
offer a suggestion or reorientation
bring her back into her body
And also knowing when to:
soften
get quiet
create sacred space
trust her process without adding anything
This is the nuance that often gets missed.
Because true support isn’t about having a fixed role.
It’s about being in relationship with the moment.
Some women need more touch.
Some need more words.
Some need fierce, present guidance.
Others need quiet witnessing.
And most need different things at different points in their labor.
The role of a doula isn’t to follow a script.
It’s to be so deeply attuned that you can feel when to act… and when to hold back.
That’s not “doing nothing.”
That’s a highly skilled, intuitive, responsive presence.
That’s the art of this work. 📸 by the talented

Kellie, I will never forget the power and magic that was Remi’s birth. You did that. Every ounce of strength, every breath, every moment. I am so honored to have supported you, not just as your doula, but as someone who loves you deeply ✨

🌸✨ Period Talk is coming! ✨🌸

I’m so excited to announce that I’ll be hosting a special class for adolescents called Period Talk — a safe, welcoming space to learn about periods, bodies, and the menstrual cycle without shame or awkwardness.

Growing up, many of us didn’t get clear, supportive education about our cycles. My goal with this class is to give young people accurate information, confidence, and a space where all questions are welcome. 💛

In this class we’ll talk about:
🫀 Anatomy
🔄 The menstrual cycle
🩸 Periods 101
📦 Period products
💊 Pain relief
🔎 Myth busting
❓ Open Q&A

This class is designed for adolescents and all bodies and identities are welcome. While students are learning, parents and caregivers are invited to connect with each other nearby in a relaxed community space.

📅 May 23, 2026
⏰ 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
📍 Happy Healthy Spine
💛 $50 per student

Spots are limited and RSVP is required.

📧 Email to register: therainbowmidwife@gmail.com
📩 DM me on Instagram or email with questions.

Helping young people understand their bodies is powerful, and I’m honored to hold this space. 🌈
