BIRTH- Today is the beginning of WORLD DOULA WEEK, where we celebrate the contributions of birth workers globally.
_
We live in a time where women’s bodies are celebrated in certain contexts, and policed in others. Having beautiful images that honor the magic and wisdom of the body is so important in helping to shape our collective cultural outlook and transforming our gaze. Birth is a rite of passage and both woman and child cross a threshold and together are born.
_
Birth is happening for all of us, even if we don’t have the reproductive anatomy to give rise to a new life, we have the creative power to give rise to a new project, a new book, a new screenplay, a new version of ourselves. As a doula I support women at this powerful threshold of change in their lives- witnessing this sacred moments.
_
I want to take a moment to salute my sister @swoonhq for her incredible contributions to the movement and women’s empowerment through art. She recently launched this limited edition print of BIRTH.
_
"I drew this image to bring the act of birthing into a place of everyday celebration. I wanted to use my gifts to participate in the power of collectively witnessing something so sacred. I adapted the drawing into a print edition when I realized how taboo images of pregnancy and birth have been throughout the history of western art. Behind anything that is silently forbidden there is an energy which has been locked away and repressed. I believe that our generation has the opportunity to release the birthing mother energy back into our culture in ways that help all of us come to life." ~ SWOON @swoonhq

why is explaining #doula work so hard!? (... probably because people are programed to believe that the main person they need is a doctor and nothing else) All Mama's deserve to have evidence-based information, support and of course some doula love. Repost if you agree #worlddoulaweek #doulalife #worlddoulaweek2019 .

some days I sit on my hands the entire birth, other times i’m so hands-on that my bones ache. sometimes i sing, other times i’m breathing so silently i feel weightless. sometimes it’s at home, sometimes it’s at a hospital.
every experience is so incredibly different, but i still call myself the same thing each time; i am a doula.
happy world doula week, y’all!! do you want a digital copy of this piece to print at home? to celebrate all those in the birth world, i’m selling digital copies for only $1 (just this week)! yes, a dollar!! it’s 6x6in and ready to be in your hands- just DM me for details.
wishing all my fellow birthworkers peaceful births and restful slumbers as we hold space for all those journeying to meet their babes today, and every day hereafter✨
