One of the grandest ceremonies of life is birth.  The entrance onto the earth plane is a sacred portal, which begins the chapter to our soul’s current evolutionary journey. 

To attend to a birthing woman is a sacred charge, for in the moment the baby descends the birth canal, a woman literally becomes a bridge between realms, an opening between heaven and earth. 

Foreons, women have birthed in the solace of their homes, in nature and in the trusted company of their loved ones and other women who attended to them, nourished and supported them in this initiatic process.

Babies were received directly into the arms of their mothers and mothers received the care they needed in this delicate time.  Since the advent of industrialism and conventional medicine, birth has become medicalized and the power and sacredness we once experienced as norm, has been stripped away. 

We, as humanity are in the process of reclaiming the sacred portal of birth. 

For babies, for mothers and for the sanity and survival of our own humanness.

And we do this, one birth at a time.

To be a doula is an archaic role that a woman plays in the life of another woman that has deep, soul-oriented implications.  The word doula comes from the Greek and literally translates to mean, ¨woman´s servant.¨

A Ceremonial Doula is a medium for mother and family.  

She is a clear, grounded and informed conduit of sacred lifeways. 

She is carrier of a wealth of wisdom:  anatomy, physiology, plant medicine, holistic techniques and shamanic realm-shifting. 

She is a guardian to women on the precipice of their initiation into Motherhood.

She is a priestess in the primordial Temple of birth.

 This path embodies the service aspect of priestesshood.  It is a noble, perennial and ancient path to serve, support and assist a woman in her pregnancy, birthing and postpartum initiations. 

To serve as a priestess in the Temple of Birth is a high calling.
