musings of a montreal doula: May 2013
http://motherwitdoula.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 21, 2013. No, I haven't gone anywhere. I have been busy doing other writings, and slowly easing back into my life as I get used to being a well person again. I am busy, but not working at the crazy pace I did before I got sick. I will never go back to that pace again. Lesson learned. Why do traumas happen? Why do people sometimes even die when nothing seemed wrong? If all feel safe and happy within the tenets of their chosen road to Birth, more power to 'em! As with any war, there are casual...

Wednesday, September 18, 2013. Shadow, Trauma, and Love: A Doula's Path to Healing. Being a doula is an amazing job. We are frequently exposed to and bathed in the healing light of massively transformative love as new parents, quivering from the shock of birth, reach for the fruit of their hard work, taking the new life they’ve worked so hard for into their arms and into their hearts. Ah, to be witness to such things is good for one’s soul. Why can you not defend? By now, if you’ve never experience...

musings of a montreal doula: What it Means to be a Doula. Happy World Doula Week!
http://motherwitdoula.blogspot.com/2015/03/happy-world-doula-week.html
Tuesday, March 24, 2015. What it Means to be a Doula. Happy World Doula Week! I want to take this opportunity to wish all the doulas on the planet a Happy World Doula Week! When I began this work over 21 years ago, I was a pioneer in my town, forging connections and laying foundations. When I look at the thriving doula communities we have now, knowing there are countless families who have experienced more satisfying births because of the work we doulas do, I am so very proud of us all. While being a doul...

Saturday, June 13, 2015. Five Tips for Birthworkers Dealing with Challenging Client Choices. It happens to every one of us in our careers where we will feel challenged and triggered by some of the choices a client makes for themselves. How can we continue to serve in the best way possible? 2) Don't React.RESEARCH! Imagine what might happen to the conversation if you met your client with a reaction to their potential choices with words such as, "But epidurals can lead to Cesareans or perineal tearing!

musings of a montreal doula: Don't Give Me My Baby: Bonding After Normal Birth
http://motherwitdoula.blogspot.com/2015/04/dont-give-me-my-baby-reclaiming-vital.html
Wednesday, April 15, 2015. Don't Give Me My Baby: Bonding After Normal Birth. There is an old video from Brazil called " Birth in the Squatting Position. This video, made in the 70's, got under my skin in a huge way and took my studies, explorations, and ruminations upon birth to a whole new level. The birth giver and the baby are undisturbed in the second stage of labour. In uncomplicated births and a decrease. So let's look at what we don't. 1) Nobody is telling the birth givers to lie on their backs.

Saturday, October 11, 2014. The season is upon us at MotherWit to embark upon our yearly postpartum doula training events. In my guidance of postpartum parents, we take a moment to honour their fears that the choice, if they are able, to sink deliciously into their Baby Moon is not always looked upon favourably. There is often the fear that the very busy can be judgemental of those who do not appear to be very busy. It is easy to blame media, but what is my part in this? What is the worst that will happe...

musings of a montreal doula: January 2014
http://motherwitdoula.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 12, 2014. In Memory of Siobhan McKay. I have been so grateful recently for my in-person and online community of friends, doulas and other birth workers. There are many concerns about social media, and obviously many of them are valid. But when things like Facebook and blogs are used for the purpose of outreach with healing intent, their value becomes overwhelmingly clear. On Monday, January 13th a lot of people will be wearing pink and purple in honour of Siobhan. This standing togeth...
