Her story is mine.

More often than not, a woman enters birthwork after being hurt and betrayed by the system in her own birth, usually that is the catalyst for a woman becoming a doula or a midwife.

I don't share the same origin story.

I was born into birthwork. My mother, who does share the all too common cataclysmic story as so many other women as her initiation into birthwork was 36 weeks pregnant with me (her second) when she decided she did not want to give birth within the medical system.

36 weeks pregnant with me when she reclaimed her power for our entire lineage.

I was the first in our family, to be born at home. It's coded into my DNA.

3 unassisted births and some years later (this is the only way I knew birth was given) I had the privilege of attending my first home birth as a 13 year old doula, aside my mom. Though I don't recall knowing the word "doula" this was just what women did. Gathered. Tended. Loved.

In that same timeline, my mom began attending Midwifery School and throughout the rest of my childhood asking "where's mom?" was often answered with "at a birth."

a normal occurance.

Some years later, after that first birth I attened, my mom asked me to begin assisting for her in her midiwfery practice. I happily accepcted. Took a doula training course and began my jounrey into and through the birth world.

I have since had the privilege of attending over 60 births, and for women I have loved more deeply than I could have imaged. All before I bare my own children. I wish I could fully explain my emense gratitude for these women, who allow me to hold and witness them through the maiden to mother evolution.

and the gratitude for my mom as her story evolved into mine, and how we became who we are through each other (literally lol).

Our family history changed because of a decision she made late in her pregnancy with me. This is how I became who I am today, it has been coded into my DNA from my first breath on this earth. I've always had a clear path guiding me. How unbelievably blessed am I.

All of this to say, no matter how a woman begins birthwork is sacred, special, and a divine calling.

This is simply our story.
