Becoming Birth
Birth is natural.
Preparation is powerful.
-
I help mothers and partners through pregnancy and birth with evidence-based education, hands on care, and dedicated advocacy.
-
I tenderly cocoon the new mother with love and support. I want to redefine the postpartum period from a time of difficulty to a time of rich, meaningful growth.
-
I offer a comprehensive, exciting course that will prepare you to understand all things birth! We explore the birth process, mental and physical preparation, your rights in the birth room, and tangeable tools for advocacy. It’s all online for your scheduling convenience.
Congratulations on your little one!
You care about what you put in your body.
You move intentionally. You read the research.
You trust your instincts.
Now, you’re pregnant, and you want to approach birth the same way.
You just need a clear path forward.
You’re not afraid of birth, you’re wary of unnecessary intervention.
You might feel overwhelmed with all the choices available.
You want to feel informed, not combative.
Confident, not ridgid.
If you’re the kind of woman who joyfully prepares for her best, most exultant life, let’s talk.
How would it feel to
reduce your liklihood of induction and C-section
have your partner understand the birth process and stand with you confidently in the decisions you make
gain real, tangeable tools to use in pregnancy and birth
understand the evidence behind common recommendations
clearly articulate your personal values and vision for this birth
have an experienced guide to help with labor sensations, help you focus on the goal, and empower you to do it with as few interventions as possible
AND
know you always have someone in your corner?
It’s within reach. You’re in the right place.
I’m Geniel. I can’t wait to get to know you.
When I was little, I told my mom I wanted to know every single person in the world. Being a doula feels like the best version of that ambitious dream come true - each woman I serve inspires me. I’m passionate about physiologic birth at home, in birth centers, and yes, in hospitals too.
I believe that birth works. Your body is designed to bring new life into the world. Preparation is the magic sauce that changes everything, and allows you to sink into the liminal space of birth.
My goal is to help you become emotionally, physically, and practically prepared for your birth day, then help you release into the wild unknown that is your birth story.
What can you expect from me?
My work centers around education, advocacy, and empowerment. When parents understand their rights, know their options, and are supported in expressing their needs, they are far less likely to experience lasting trauma from birth.
I focus on teaching
physiology of birth, deepening your understanding of the body’s natural processes and preparing you for your ideal outcome. We also explore and plan for any deviation from plan A, because there is no “given” in birth.
practical communication skills, helping families navigate their care with confidence. When a mother’s voice is prioritized during pregnancy and birth, families feel supported and satisfied, no matter how the birth unfolds.
mental and physical tools to use during your birthing time. Let’s be honest: birth is intense! I help partners reflect and prepare so they, and I, can give you the tangeable support necessary for you to rock this.
