Dr. Desha knows first hand the benefits of a doula's support, during pregnancy and during labor - she was lucky to have two doula's during her own hospital birth, where she chose to deliver with an epidural, when the plan for a water birth dissolved due to unfortunate circumstances. Adoption was the best choice for her son and the support of a doula during the post partum period proved invaluable to her emotional and physical recovery.
Desha was able to 'pay it forward' six months later when she was the doula for a fellow birthmom during her pregnancy/labor/delivery and adoption placement. Over the last 8 years she has been lucky to doula several other women during their unique pregnancies and birth experiences. "The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new." - Osho
Women serving women during the childbearing year... there is nothing quite like it, a force that can only be experienced and never accurately described.
