Sacred Spaces Doula Support
What is a Doula?
The word doula comes from the times of Greeks, when knowledgeable, trained women helped those in childbirth. The ancient practice of woman giving comfort and support to women during this sacred event has stood the test of times.

As you Postpartum Doula I provide:

As your Night Doula I provide:

- Then I care for all the babies while you get a good night's sleep.
Parents need to provide me with a place to sleep also. Preferably close to the baby.
As a Blessing Way service I provide:Blessing ways are traditional to North American Indians who mark the transition a woman makes when she moves from a maiden to a mother. It is a time of receiving for the mother to be, a time where she is nurtured and honored by her community of women. (continue reading/collapse)
