Grateful Life Doula Services

Grateful Life Doula Services We have a heart to walk alongside those on the journey of new life, both physically and spiritually. Our philosophy is Love at birth~ love for life.

Childbirth is a rite of passage in many cultures and brings honor to families, blessing, and empowerment to women. The birth of a baby is supposed to be a time for celebration and excitement; however, this is not the experience that everyone has. For those facing an unplanned pregnancy or who have had birth
trauma, they feel afraid, alone, and unsupported. At no other time in history has it been so crucial that women have the necessary support! Jessica LaFavor is a dedicated mother of three grown children and a certified doula providing childbirth education for families, and conducting workshops for Christian Doula Training. The mission of Grateful Life Ministries LLC is love at birth, love for life, to walk alongside those on the journey of new life physically and spiritually. She provides doula coaching, trauma healing retreats, birth preparation sessions, and wellness products that support healthy pregnancy and motherhood. https://www.amway.com/en_US/myshop/GratefulLifeRetail

The passing down of this ancient wisdom is essential to mothers, wives, sisters,
daughters, and all women. This creates community, support, and courage. Her 25+ years of experience in the doula field includes certification through
DONA International as a birth doula, a ProDoula trained postpartum doula. She's a trauma healing facilitator, a certified peer recovery specialist and the
Women's Site Director for Next Chapter Ministries. Her heart is legacy—to equip, encourage, and empower people to be healthy, growing, and full of love! Jessica: When people ask what I do as a doula: I provide non-medical birth support, childbirth education, and a biblical perspective on pregnancy, parenting and postpartum care. I specialize in Christian doula training to mentor women in the art of becoming professional doulas in their communities and around the world! To be a Grateful Life Doula is to be of service whether in physical delivery or spiritual discipleship. Do you have the heart of a doula? https://venmo.com/Grateful-Life

🕯️ Tonight, as part of the International Wave of Light, we join families around the world in lighting candles at 7 p.m. local time to honor the precious babies gone too soon. For one continuous day, a wave of light circles the globe, reminding us that though their lives were brief, their love is eternal. Together, we remember, we honor, and we speak their names so they are never forgotten.

It’s National Midwifery Week 🥳

This years theme is “Midwives at every table”
This week we celebrate the essential presence of midwives at every table where decisions are made, research & policy, community leadership, clinical care & advocacy. We celebrate all midwives in what they bring to the table.

From closing gaps, reducing maternal mortality & improve access of care in rural communities- we are a driving force of improved outcomes to create positive impacts of healthcare worldwide.

At FCW, we take pride at our table & grateful to serve you 💕

Having the FREEDOM to choose your own position allows you to listen to your body and find what feels best for you in the moment. This can lead to a more positive and empowering birth experience.
