ABOUT MUVA NATURE, the Doula

Prenatal, Birth and Postpartum Doula

Prenatal, Birth, and Postpartum services available to those in need. I believe in offering a holistic and natural approach to birth that is consistent with our first known language, mother nature. It is important to connect back to the Earth and the energy/vibrations of the Universe. Mother Nature (sometimes known as Mother Earth or the Earth-mother) is defined as a common personification of woman that focuses on the life-giving and nurturing aspects of nature by embodying it, in the form of the mother. I call myself Muva Nature because I put a modern and present-day knowledge to communicate life. 

 

My work in general is helping families to remember, to reconnect, to reclaim cultural practices, ceremonial practices, kinship practices in birthing our babies, and reminding them how this process builds the future. I focus not only on birth helper skills, but also on ancestral knowledge and Indigenous tradition. I have studied birth helper basic knowledge and skill building (reproductive physiology, preconception health, support during pregnancy, labor, and birth); reclamation of birth ceremonies; and the revitalizing efforts of women’s coming of age ceremonies and rites of passages that work to assist in rebuilding lifeways and healing our nations, storytelling, breastfeeding support, ancestral knowledge, and plant medicine making.

The most common definition of a doula is "a person trained to provide emotional, physical and educational support to the pregnant woman and her support team prenatally and during labor and birth." The focus is on the pregnant woman yet extends to include anyone who will be present during the labor and birth. I don't take their place, I complement it. (Those closest to you are experts on you. I'm an expert on birth. Together, we combine our resources to become the perfect team for you.)
