“Angelia and the Bending Willow Birth team are incredible. A wealth of knowledge, but more importantly, joyful and reverent spirits that walk with you during pregnancy and birth in a way where you can’t help but feel anything but peace, strength, and honorably witnessed. I am so thankful they were there for the journey of my first born baby.”

“Kendra has been so helpful, and such a source of wisdom throughout my pregnancy. She always communicates, and has a passion that is inspiring, I wouldn’t have anyone else as my supporting doula as long as she’s around. Her caring spirit and kindness is always a comfort and I love having her around!

I highly recommend her services!!!!”

“Angelia is not only incredibly sweet soul, she’s also very knowledgeable about birth and was a great asset to our team. As a first time mom I was so overwhelmed, as was my husband. She provided resources that helped me formulate educated decisions, create a strong birth plan and feel overall much more prepared than I otherwise would have been. You can tell from the first meeting she has a passion for supporting mamas and their partners. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a doula (or photographer, her photos are beautiful as well).”

birth doula support package

During your pregnancy

Nourishing in-person prenatal visits where we will discuss how to support a healthy pregnancy, process past experiences, foster connection and sisterhood as you journey closer to the day your birth unfolds, explore all options for labor, delve into the physiological process of birth, and prepare for a sacred fourth trimester.
Unlimited phone support where you can seek support as you walk through pregnancy, birth and the early postpartum.

When birth unfolds

Continuous labor support in-home beginning in active labor through the hours leading up to the birth of your baby at the desired location. This may look like physical, emotional, and informational support tailored to each woman's individual experience.
Birth documentation by your doula if desired. We specialize in capturing the raw, authentic moments of labor, birth, and the first hours of your new little one’s life. Our style ensures that intimate and powerful moments are documented while the birth space is preserved, allowing you to relive the beauty and strength of your birthing experience for years to come.

Support for the fourth trimester

Support in the early hours of postpartum where we stay with you for the first 1-2 hours until your family is ready for quiet time. This may look like honoring those first moments after birth, encouraging you as a new mother, supporting the first latch, and helping you settle in before resting with your new baby.
One nourishing postpartum visit to close our circle. This visit takes place within the first week after birth includes a warm meal, postpartum tea, and a safe space to reflect on your journey.

our approach

Our work is rooted in a deep trust in birth, just as it was so intentionally designed. We believe that motherhood begins not in fear, but in surrender, strength, and being deeply held.

We are especially drawn to walking alongside women who feel this stirring in their hearts—who desire a gentle, low-intervention birth, who long to feel informed and confident in their choices, and who want a calm, steady presence beside them as they bring their baby into the world.

Wherever you choose to give birth, your experience matters. You deserve to feel safe, supported, and respected, surrounded by care that sees you not just as a patient, but as a mother stepping into something sacred.

birth work is our ministry: walking alongside women through birth with reverence, bearing witness to their strength, and holding space for the sacred unfolding of new life.
