Finishing long term postpartum contracts is so bittersweet. I'm always so sad to go because spending so much time in a person's home you develop close friendships with them but at the same time I'm always so proud of how far the new parents have come! From being scared, sleep deprived, new parents to thriving, well rested and confident in their abilities. The goal is always for them to eventually not need me anymore but it still breaks my heart when it's time to say goodbye 😭😭😭

A little birdie told us there's a rumor going around that doulas replace partners, and it couldn't be farther from the truth!

As doulas we use our knowledge and skills to AMPLIFY and ENHANCE the relationship you and your partner already have, and TEACH you how to use said relationship to bring your baby down and out.

Rather than replace or step on any toes, we all work together hand in hand for your ultimate birthing experience.

What other rumors have you heard about doulas? 👀

theory pulled from and likely some language remembered from the brilliant but I can’t find their original post and don’t want to misrepresent their language. sharing now because I just left a session where this was a hurtful and harmful trope that surfaced during the discussion.

racism is racism. anti-q***rness is anti-q***rness. folks who exist at the intersections of these uniquely experience oppression of both racism and q***rness (concept of intersectionality developed by Prof Kimberlé Crenshaw). marginalization of white folks based on our q***rness is not an active competition nor a direct comparison to racism, sexist racism, or q***r-based racism. q***rness as a liberatory ideology must see the validity, individuality, and interdependence necessary to understand all of our struggles to envision and create new futures. being q***r in being and q***r in mindset means seeing that our struggles are intertwined and not adversarial.
