I'd like to share a quick story with you. This is why I do what I do.
I had a client last week email me talking about wanting an unassisted birth. Previously the plan had been for me to assist her and her partner in a hospital birth. I encouraged her to go for the birth she wanted and left the lines open for any support I could give her.
I don't do what I do to to feel good myself. I truly do this to empower women. I do not want women to remember their birth by my presence. I want women to own their birth experiences.
Now I won't tell you a lot about the birth. I don't tell my clients' birth stories as they aren't mine to tell. I will just tell you the part that has made my entire day. Hell it could have made my entire week.
Mom went into labor this morning, and not even an hour ago delivered her son unassisted at home with me blessed enough to be on the phone. She was amazing and strong and can forever know she this birth belonged to no one but herself. I am so proud of her and for her. The trust she placed in her body and her baby is what I hope for every women I encounter.
Love and light beautiful women.
