What's a Life Doula? |
|
Maybe you already know what a birth doula is? Someone who offers support, guidance, information, listening, and a hand to hold during pregnancy and birth. I believe that so many of us are in the process of birthing something new: a different version of ourselves after a big change like a divorce or move, the person we WANT to be instead of the person ruled by our baggage and traumas. Maybe you have something that needs to get "born" like a new book or new business. Maybe you're feeling a sense of stuckness and need someone to coach you through while you puuuuuush and get some momentum. That's where I come in. As a life doula, I'll offer gentle support, accountability, deep listening, and reflection that will help support you through whatever it is that you are bringing to life on your journey.
What's up with you? Facing a big life transition like a divorce, big move, leaving a lifelong faith community, or new baby? These things can all create huge identity shifts! Wondering who you are as you move through this new thing? Let's talk through it together. I understand what it's like to be in that liminal space, having support while you are working your way through can be so validating. Are you needing someone to listen? Like, really, truly listen? Verbal processors unite! I love creating advice-free and non-judgmental space where you can begin to excavate your own answers. Maybe you are "gestating" something special like your first book, launching a new business, or developing an art or writing practice for yourself. It would be so fun to "doula" you through whatever it is that you are working on creating. Imagine facing some of these life challenges and journeys with a companion at your side, who can offer experience, deep listening, perspective, enthusiasm, additional tools and resources, and MORE! How might things be for you if you had this type of support? We will collaborate and decide together what our work will look like. Working together might look a bit like working with a life coach. It might include us brainstorming some lists and working out what tasks are next and following up with some deadlines and accountability. It could look like us talking deeper about your "why" and me asking you some challenging questions. Maybe you like "homework" and I'll send you some journal prompts or some suggestions for reading. Sometimes I read poetry to my clients or we pull some tarot or oracle cards for guidance. We could do some art together, we might spend a lot of time talking and laughing and zeroing in on what motivates you and brings you joy. Whatever it is we do together, the goal is to help move you to where you want to go. So the first thing we'll do is chat about that: your hopes, your dreams, your intentions, and also what's holding you back, the barriers and hurdles you are facing. And then we'll make a plan of how we want to work together. Typically we'll meet either weekly or every-other week. I like to use Zoom because I want to see your adorable face! We'll do our thing for about an hour, and you'll usually hear from me via email in between our sessions. |

When someone deeply listens to you
It is like holding out a dented cup
you’ve had since childhood
and watching it fill up with
cold, fresh water.
When it balances on top of the brim,
you are understood.
When it overflows and touches your skin
you are loved.
When someone deeply listens to you
the room where you stay
starts a new life
and the place where you wrote your first poem
begins to glow in your mind’s eye.
It is as if gold had been discovered.
When someone deeply listens to you
Your bare feet are on the earth
and a beloved land that seemed distant
is now at home within you.
