It is such an honor to sit with couples and explore their ideas about their birth. How we choose to welcome the new being into the world is such an unique experience. Being such a close intimate part of this plan lives in a heart space I find sacred and delicious.<br /><br />As we moved through speed dating the doulas I looked into the eyes of the mommas and daddies to be and found so much hope for the future. I have always held a special place in my heart for preggers - doing prenatal yoga classes and such. To my surprise, I find myself falling in love not only with the sweet mommas.....but also the daddies! These men - sitting side by side with the beautiful women who will birth their babies...have softened me a bit. How incredibly out of the norm is it for men to be open, intuitive, and ready to support the miraculous process of birth?<br /><br />I love my job!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3762997704790118778-5353231885477731662?l=withlovedoula.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>DeLora (Sat Avtar)noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762997704790118778.post-31995997574833989202011-04-19T21:54:00.000-07:002011-04-19T22:25:47.970-07:00My new fave webpage and revolutionary birthing scene.
