When I meet with families and explain what exactly a doula even is, I often find myself saying that so much of what I get to do is supporting dads while they support their wives. I know birth and they know their person better than anyone in the world, so really we just all get to be a team. I love what I get to do. I love watching men become fathers and getting to witness those tender raw moments drenched in brand newness. I love helping dads cheer on their partners through one of the most intense processes in existence. I love helping them hold their tiny new ones skin to skin and help them finally take a deep breath as they “meet” their baby . So cheers to you- to all dadas but especially the dads who have let me into your sacred spaces and let me bear witness to the holiness of it all. Thank you.
