This collection is both informed and inspired by my work as a birth and death doula, and shares what I create for my own clients and fellow birthing professionals.
What is offered here will take you from fertility to pregnancy, first trimester through to third, pre birth prep, childbirth, post partum, and beyond, both for vaginal and c-section births alike.
Also included in this collection are a selection of meaningful offerings for those grieving a loss through miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion, and premature death.
