Birth... It's Powerful

2011-02-13T20:30:00.000-08:00

Many women find their birth so life changing and inspiring that they decide to become a doula or midwife or OB or nurse... this is how it happened to me! Although I always wanted to do something with birth and babies my whole life, my birth experience and preparing for it, led me to become a doula.

Birth is powerful. There is no doubt about that. It can be beautiful and it can take you to places you never knew you had inside of you. It is almost always not what you expected.... because you don't really know what to expect.

And when you know that, you want other women to know that too! You want to help other women have a positive birth experience, because you know it's something she carries with her for the rest of her life. And you know that when that experience is stolen away from her, she also carries that for the rest of her life.

Being a doula means so much... doulas make a difference!
It's an honor to know that you have made such a difference in a family's life... and that you in some small or large way have changed their life.

I have the honor of having been a doula for a wonderful momma, who's life did change and for that she wanted to do the same! If you are looking for a great doula, you can feel confident in hiring Jackie! She is an amazing person and a wonderful doula. Check her out : http://www.jackiesdoulaservices.com/

Birth never ceases to amaze me...
Newborns never cease to amaze me...
Breastfeeding never ceases to amaze me...
And seeing a new family together for the first time.... BEAUTIFUL.

Protector of Pregnant Women and Babies

2009-11-09T09:54:00.000-08:00

My daughter's school is studying Ancient Egypt this year.

We went on a field trip to see the King Tut exhibit in San Francisco last week.

We stopped in San Jose at the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose.

It was a great enrichment trip for us... My daughter loved being able to walk thru the tomb and see a real mummy and all the great artifacts.

While visiting I ran into Taweret, the goddess of childbirth. She was responsible for looking after pregnant women and babies.
