A woman will remember her sacred journey
into motherhood all her life.
I believe every birth should be a positive, uplifting, transformative and empowering experience.
I believe every woman deserves compassion and respect from her
birth support team.
I believe every woman should feel prepared, safe, nurtured and supported during her birth process.
I believe every birthing woman deserves a doula.
When we change the way we view birth, the way we birth will change.
~Mary Mongan
