Mothers must be willing to make mistakes

There's a reason babies don’t come with instructions! Each baby is unique, every parent has their own style, and every family has its own dynamics.

This is why mothers often struggle to find what they truly need amidst the overwhelming flood of information. In fact, excessive external noise can make it challenging to bond with your baby. The only way to rise above the onslaught of advice and activate your intuition is...

MOTHERS MUST BE WILLING TO MAKE MISTAKES

Mothers are nurturing and resourceful, having been successfully raising children long before the increase in parenting books or the internet.

They don't require saving. Mothers are the heroes of their own motherhood journey, navigating through the chaos by embracing the beautiful messiness of parenting and engaging actively with their little ones.

Every parent must learn to understand their baby, rather than relying solely on books or the internet.

Whenever a parent tries something new (which may sometimes lead to mistakes), they act like scientists observing responses, adjusting strategies, and collecting data about their baby and parenting approach. It’s akin to earning a degree at university, followed by a master’s, and then a doctorate, all focused on the singular subject of Your Child.

With time, you will grow more confident and discover what works best for you and your little ones. Until they change things up and you feel like your starting again…parenting is such a rollercoaster.

As your Doula, you can foster a safe environment for this experiential learning and the inevitable missteps along the way. I can share information grounded in scientific evidence without judgment, allowing you as parents the freedom to make the best choices for yourself and your family.
