Every Birth Deserves a Gentle Beginning
Now that You're here.... Just Breathe!
At Gentle Beginnings, we honor and embrace pregnancy and birth as a sacred spiritual journey, where the birth of a new life is intertwined with the profound rebirth of the mother herself. As you bring new life into the world, you are also experiencing your own profound transformation, a rebirth into motherhood.
Birth is not only the arrival of a child but also the awakening of your inner strength, intuition, womb wisdom and deep connection to your body and spirit.
We offer pregnancy coaching, birth & postpartum support, womb and energy healing, spiritual guidance and education for you to make informed decisions and choices for your family's needs during transformative experience. Together, we walk you through the process step by step. No matter how you choose to birth, your experience deserves care, guidance, support and a safe space to process and unfold. Let us help you navigate this new journey with confidence and empowerment!

What is a Full Spectrum Doula?
The word "Doula" comes from ancient Greek word Doule, which tranaslates to "female server or helper".
A doula is a professional trained in childbirth, who provides unbiased continuous emotional, physical, informational support to birthing individuals and their families throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. A doula can also provide care and support throughout significant life changes, pregnancy loss or end of life care.
Doula Support: Need help developing your birth plan? Choosing your birth team? Deciding how and where you want to give birth? Navigating body changes? Medical Appointments? Breastfeeding support? How do I take care of this baby? Planning for postpartum? My placenta? Relationship changes? Navigating grief & loss? Will my vagina ever be the same?
There's a DOULA for that. We can help you navigate your unique journey so that you feel confident in advocating for your needs.
