I don’t doula because birth is trendy or aesthetic. I doula because of history, and because of you.
Because for generations, women and birthing people were told their bodies were problems to manage instead of powerful, intuitive, knowing. Because consent hasn’t always been centered in birth spaces. And still isn’t guaranteed. Because understanding your body shouldn’t be a privilege.
And I doula because birth is not experienced equally.
Because race and class still shape outcomes: who is listened to, who is believed, who is given time, options, dignity. Because some people walk into birth spaces already having to advocate twice or three times as hard just to be seen. Because safety, support, and autonomy should not depend on your zip code, your insurance, or the color of your skin.
I doula because your body is not a mystery to be solved, it’s something that has carried life since the beginning of time. It knows birth. And you deserve to know it too.
I doula because feminism lives in birth, in informed choices, in saying yes when you mean yes and no when you mean no, in being respected as the authority in your own body and birth.
And also? Because we don’t have to choose between power and progress. We get both. We honor what bodies have always been capable of and we embrace the science that supports them—like epidurals (invented by a woman!), like evidence-based care for induction and pitocin, like options such as declining or agreeing to it all.
I doula because our babies and children deserve it, too. They deserve to be born into spaces where their parents feel safe, respected, and supported from the very beginning.
Becoming a mother myself sharpened all of this. It made it louder, clearer, more urgent. I know what it is to walk through birth and come out changed, and I want people to go through it with experienced, steady support beside them.
I doula because it’s my calling.
