My Story
Hi! I'm Bethany. ♡
If you're here, you're probably pregnant, looking for a birth doula, and hoping to learn a little more about me.
I'm a wife, Momma of four home-birthed babies, a Christian, and a passionate birth doula.
I started my journey towards becoming a doula in 2017 when I supported my baby sister through her first birth. While that is the first birth I supported as a doula, my journey of researching information surrounding pregnancy and childbirth began with my own first pregnancy 2 years earlier. I vividly remember searching the library shelves for every birth related book, joining all of the natural birth groups on Facebook, and trying to learn as much as I could to prepare myself for my first birth. Fortunately, God directed my path, and I discovered some resources that I still recommend to every pregnant Momma, like Ina May Gaskin's book, Guide to Childbirth.
I switched to a licensed homebirth midwife and hired a birth doula at 32 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I wish I had done both of those things a bit sooner, but thus began my introduction into doula work! My doula was amazing. She was so amazing the first time that I hired her again for my second baby. If finances had allowed it, I would have for my third and fourth births as well! (I was wishing I had with that fourth birth that turned out to be 48 hours!)
Along with having my own personal experience with unmedicated birth, I have breastfed my babies as well through several unique breastfeeding experiences including exclusively pumping, nursing through pregnancy, and tandom breastfeeding.
In 2023, I officially became a certified birth doula, and opened my own business called Heaven's Helping Hands Doula Services. I have served hospital births, homebirths, cesarean births, and even a birth center birth throughout my journey.
My goal as a doula is for every Mother that I support to feel heard, respected, and empowered in her own decisions surrounding her labor and birth experience. My own births with respectful care providers and a supportive doula have placed my expectations for birth experiences very high. I believe that this helps me to be a better birth doula for the women that I serve.
As your doula, I provide three prenatal appointments to help you prepare for labor and birth, assist with creating your birth plan, and provide in-person support from the time that you feel you need support in labor until a few hours postpartum. I also provide one postpartum visit after birth in your home.
If you feel drawn to get in touch about me serving as your doula, I would be happy to chat over coffee about supporting your birth!
