Marissa, Birthkeeper.
Simply Natural Doula
Trust Birth. Trust yourself.
You can do amazing things.
Who I am.
Birth is magic,
Holding space for women in their power; birthing their babies into the world, birthing themselves as mothers into the world...its just magic.
I've given birth three times. Each an extraordinary experience, that led me on the path to becoming a birth keeper and childbirth educator.
To witness and support you as you walk this path that all before you have walked. To give you space and listen to you, the highest authority in the room, during your birth. To offer the sister connection during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, and walk that path with you as such.
I trust birth. I trust you. [:

This class covers so much. It can be taken by people having either a hospital birth OR birth center/home birth. It has value for all different birth settings, and really aims to help people understand the birth process and what to vaguely expect from their experience. PLUS, you have the chance to talk with someone who has been witness to births, all vastly different from one another, as well as given birth herself.
Group or private classes offered. A private four week series session is amazing, as it can be held in YOUR home. Whoever you plan to have at your birth, be it your partner, family member, friend or even child, can attend. Group classes are also great, as you then get to interact with other people and hear different perspectives/questions.
$175.00 per pregnant person (Your support team is more than welcome!)
Birth Story Medicine.
- 60 to 75 minutes in duration
- Unresolved/traumatic moment from birth.
- Helps to prepare you for an upcoming birth
- Helps to heal from a past birth event that still bothers/nags you.
$50.00 per session
