Like the willow strong and unbreaking, women must also transform during childbirth and surrender to each surge as they birth both themselves and their child.
NOURISHING SISTERHOOD FOR YOUR BIRTH JOURNEY
walking with women through the transformation of motherhood, while preserving each sacred story as it is woven.
Where women are held and birth is honored.
Bending Willow Birth is a space for mamas seeking meaningful presence throughout the season of welcoming new life. Through intentional support during pregnancy, reverent guidance as birth unfolds, and nurturing postpartum tending rooted in traditional mother care.
Providing doula support, home birth attendance, and birth documentation for women who desire to be deeply known, skillfully cared for, and supported in making informed prayerful decisions for an empowering and autonomous experience.
We are Angelia and Kendra!
We're so glad you're here! We have been called to serve women along their journey into motherhood. Our mission is to help guide you through a deeply nourishing experience that is centered in trusting your ability, intuition, and the divinity of it all. Welcome to our space where we aim to be a fount of wisdom and love along your motherhood journey.
MEET THE TEAM
This season is sacred, and every woman deserves to enter it feeling known, supported, and deeply cared for—whether this is her first birth or her fifth. Yet too often, women step into their birth journey believing their wishes will naturally be understood and honored, only to find themselves feeling unheard, unprepared, or disconnected from the experience they hoped for.
Birth is not a time to simply hope your voice will be respected—it is a time to be equipped with knowledge, supported by wisdom, and surrounded by those who will help protect your ability to make informed decisions. Without understanding your options and having meaningful support beside you, the care you receive may not reflect the birth experience you desire.
You deserve a birth that is empowering, a team that is grounded in peace, and the autonomous experience you desire. We offer meaningful Christ centered birth offerings that focus on helping mamas achieve just that. Every mother deserves to not only be supported through her birth, but to have the sacred story of how she became a mother preserved and honored forever.
"I wish every mother would experience the gift of trust, care, love and support Angelia gave me - a rare kind of servitude that shapes how new lives are welcomed on this earth. I am so thankful Angelia walked alongside me during this transformative time - it inspires me to be a better mother, sister, and friend. Having Angelia by my side is the best decision I made about my second pregnancy."

Hi! I’m Angelia, a doula of seven years, documentary photographer and owner of Bending Willow Birth.
I am deeply passionate about honoring and preserving undisturbed instinctual birth. That the process of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are times of transformation where women deserve to be surrounded in gentle guidance and love. That the doula and midwife's role is to be with women as they embrace such a meaningful transition and have the autonomous birth they desire. That through documentary photography we can preserve the beautiful moments motherhood holds.
