I am Whitney and pregnancy and motherhood have changed me forever in a million beautiful ways. After years of knowing I wanted to be a healer, I earned a bachelor's degree in Biology from the University of New Mexico with the original intention of going to medical school afterwards. I became disenchanted with the medical field and then became a yoga teacher and yoga studio owner as I was searching for how to fulfill my calling in integrity. Birth work finally found me after I became a mother myself and this has become my focus! Within the same year of giving birth, I became a certified doula. I am a lifelong learner who is continuing independent midwifery studies and who is in the middle of Birthkeeping school with Whapio of La Matrona. I have much to offer in my service including with yoga, meditation, essential oils, herbal remedies, homeopathy, and deep anatomical understanding. The biggest thing I want to help women with is learning how to dream big when it comes to their labors and then giving women the tools to make that dream become a bit more possible as a birth coach, educator, and doula/Birthkeeper. I recently had a very blissful labor journey with my second baby and I can't wait to help other women find similarly blissful/orgasmic/ecstatic births of their own!
While I was pregnant we discussed labor plans. Whitney helped me to understand the hormones at play while in labor and how to naturally increase them for a smoother labor experience. Then we rated things I wanted, things I was willing to try, and things I wanted to avoid. She also gave me resources to address my questions regarding pregnancy and labor. When I went into labor, she gave me ideas of things to do while at home. As the labor progressed, she met me at the hospital and continued to give ideas. When I was tired and about to vary from my original wishes, she gave additional ideas to cope with the intensity of labor and left the choice up to me. I was able to give birth without an epidural and she helped me to establish breastfeeding. I have since moved away from the area she services, but I would definitely hire a doula again after this experience.
