I provide Somatic Birth Preparation that honors the natural, physiological experience of birth. It's especially supportive for those who wish to use pregnancy and birth as a time to deepen confidence, embodiment, and connection to self. These somatic birth preparation sessions weave together movement, breathwork, guided visualization, sound, and hands-on techniques — all tailored to your unique needs and intentions as you prepare for birth and postpartum.
We are beyond grateful to have had Bethany as our doula throughout our first pregnancy and postpartum journey. From the very beginning, she brought such a beautiful balance of knowledge, compassion, and cultural awareness into our experience. As a Filipino family, it meant so much to us that Bethany honored and valued our ancestral Filipino heritage in her care. She made space for traditions, cultural practices, and generational wisdom in a way that felt deeply respectful and affirming. It truly made our journey feel more connected, grounded, and meaningful. One of the things we appreciated most was Bethany’s incredible patience, calmness, and grounding energy. During moments that felt overwhelming, she had a way of centering us and bringing peace into the space. Her presence alone was reassuring and made us feel supported every step of the way. Bethany was also incredibly flexible and patient with our ever-changing schedules, always meeting us with understanding, grace, and genuine care. No matter how hectic things became, she consistently showed up for us with consistency and heart. We also loved her knowledge around nourishing meal and drink preparation throughout my pregnancy. Her thoughtful recipes and recommendations helped me feel supported physically and emotionally, and made taking care of my body feel intentional and empowering. Her incorporation of sound bowl therapy, along with guided meditative yoga for both my partner and me, was another beautiful and meaningful part of her care. These sessions created space for deep relaxation, emotional release, and spiritual grounding. We cherished those moments of stillness and connection, feeling more bonded to each other and to our baby during those times. We’re especially thankful that we were connected to her through one of our own cousins—it feels like such a blessing that our paths crossed. Having someone we could trust so deeply during such a vulnerable and transformative season made all the difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better doula and are forever grateful for the role Bethany played in welcoming our baby and supporting our family. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate, culturally conscious, and dependable support.
