Birth Services
With Advanced Holistic Independent Birth Practitioner Jennifae Dawn
I trust birth, and I know that it is safest when women stand fully in their own power, and when their partners are empowered in their authentic roles. This is why I endeavor to offer education, first and foremost to birthing families.
When A family hires me as part of their birthing team, we begin to build a relationship based on a mutually
held vision of their birth experience. I honor the intimate role they are inviting me into.
Together we explore deep questions about how to walk into the unknown. What do we need? What no longer serves?
I will be with a family through some of their most vulnerable, transformational, and emotionally tender times.
These are waters I tread with reverence and respect.
These are sacred times.
I have served over 115 families as their doula, and hundreds more via our Sacred Pregnancy retreats, ceremonies, and postpartum experiences.
Watching as women become mothers on their own terms, fathers become archangels-enveloping their beloveds in their protective embrace. Watching little ones rise to their callings as big brothers and sisters.
This is to stand at the most holy of gates.
So, what does this type of birth support look like?
I offer comprehensive, mind-body-spirit support throughout the childbearing journey. Blending practical pregnancy, birth, and postpartum wisdom with alternative wellness support like, homeopathy, herbs, hypnotherapy, craniosacral therapy, spiritual/emotional holding, and ceremony.
