Makayla- mom of 2, USMC veteran/ mil spouse, birth doula, Child birth educator, business owner, and very much obsessed with the female anatomy when it comes to all things pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and breastfeeding.
My biggest goal is to advocate and educate young moms like you about everything you are capable of when it comes to growing a little human and pushing that football out… sounds intimidating, I know.
Whether you are newly pregnant or even in your third trimester and just now finding out about me being your doula that is perfectly fine… I like to believe the stars aligned for you to find my page. You may have even heard of a doula or childbirth educator and didn’t quite know what they offer. Have you found yourself asking questions such as, WHY am I so gassy? Why am I so Nauseous…Is my baby okay with all of this puking?? I am terrified of a C-section. What can I do to prevent it? I HATE hospitals… Do I really have to give birth there? and if I do, how can I be more comfortable showing my bits like that? I want to breastfeed and it looks so simple, yet I hear it is painful and hard. What can I do to prepare my body and mind for the Postpartum period? I don’t quite have the support system I want. Or even the village I pictured having. I am SOOOO far away from family and fear Postpartum Depression/anxiety. Are there resources for me?
I definitely asked every single one of those questions to myself DAILY, since I had my girls while being in the Marine Corps. I pushed myself to learn more and more about what my body was going through so I could be prepared for this next chapter of my life. Now I am going to teach you everything you need to know of having babies away from family, learning about how powerful your mind and body truly are, and how to prepare for birth-postpartum-breastfeeding and feel confident doing it.
