Bending Willow Birth works as a collective with an experienced sisterhood of doulas to bring purposeful support to women on their sacred journey through motherhood. As your doulas, we will nurture and support you throughout your journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Delve deeper into the experience you desire while exploring all of your options. Honor and respect your vision of the perfect birth while providing information for informed decision-making. Drawing on our intuition, knowledge and experience to be a loving-supportive presence during the beautiful sacred transformation that you desire.
“It is my greatest honor to support women through the journey of the autonomous birth they desire, helping them have the best transition into motherhood. During this sacred time of transformation, women deserve to be surrounded by support that helps them gain knowledge for informed decision making, learn about prenatal care and ways they can support a healthy pregnancy, growing closer to intuition, and delving deeper into the experience they desire for birth and postpartum.
As a motherhood photographer it is my passion to capture the raw beauty and strength of these moments from pregnancy, to birth, postpartum, and beyond!”
- Angelia, Doula and Student Midwife
“My personal goal is to guide women to feel more connected to themselves and aligned to their true desires through yogic approach (mindfulness, meditation, breath-work, etc.). I hope to empower each woman to feel rooted in their motherhood and find power as she prepares her nest and steps into the role of a mother.
I had the privilege of birthing my latest daughter in ways that honored my body and my wishes, at home with an attendance of a doula(Angelia). In this transformational experience, I've learned the value in preparation as well as the presence of a nurturing doula and support. I would find myself engrossed in birth stories and learning new knowledge related to all things birth and postpartum-even after the birth of my little one. I knew I've found a passion in supporting other women during this sacred time of transition.”
- Lisa, Doula and Prenatal Yoga Instructor
“I have always had a deep appreciation for the childbearing process, as there are few things more beautiful to me than a woman becoming a mother. After my own pregnancy and birth experience, I gained an even deeper love and understanding of what the transition into motherhood could look like when a woman is surrounded by unconditional love and support.
I believe birth is less about making babies and more about making mothers. As a new mother myself, and current midwifery student, I have learned the importance of empowering women to believe in their own strength and to make the best decisions for themselves and their babies. Walking alongside other women and offering them the love and support they need during this very significant time in their lives is a great passion of mine!”
