WHY RISING MOTHER?
Rising Mother simply means that: the Rising of a Mother, Motherhood, Womanhood, the Matriarchal figure, and the Red Medicine Woman. She is you, she is me; she is Powerful, Feminine, Strong, and Creative. Rising Mother is a reflection of myself, my journey, what I needed other women in my life to embody, and so deeply what I want to give to those who enter mine. My practice comes from a WHOLE-ISTIC perspective, returning “Woman to the Womb” - whether that be through FERTILITY, PRECONCEPTION, NUTRITION, PRENATAL EDUCATION, CHILDBIRTH, or POSTPARTUM. All initial consultations are FREE of charge and open to anyone. The door is always open, you just have to walk through. ♡

THE BIRTH SUPPORT YOU DESERVE
As your Doula, I offer full spectrum personalized birthing support. There is no wrong or right way to give birth only what is best for you and your family. My intention is for you to feel safe, supported, and informed to make decisions about your pregnancy, labor and postpartum experience.
"As a Doula, I am always honored to be invited to a birth, to hold space for families to have an empowered and positive birth and postpartum experience."
POSTPARTUM, THE 4th TRIMESTER
As a postpartum doula, my first priority is to ensure that the new parent (mother or primary caregiver) is fully supported to allow for optimal bonding and nurturing. The fourth trimester is typically the 12-week period immediately after baby comes earth side, every parent and their newborn baby will go through it. It is a time of great physical and emotional change as your baby adjusts to being outside the womb, and you adjust to your new life as a parent. My goal is to try to lighten the load both emotionally and physically, ensuring that parents inevitably feel at ease transitioning into the postpartum period.
