BIRTHKEEPER SUPPORT
“Birth is not a performance; it is a rite of passage, a sacred journey into the unknown.”
Birth is a sacred experience, a journey where you embark on a deep transformative initiation through an unknown portal. Not only is a baby born and come into earthside, but you are also reborn.
Do you feel anxious and stressed about the uncertainty and unknown throughout pregnancy and birth?
Do you want to feel more empowered?
As a birth doula, I am here to protect the sacredness of you and your baby’s birth. I’ll be your companion, supporting you throughout your rite of passage. Present with you throughout each step of the way, no matter where you want to give birth, whether it is at a hospital, at a birthing center or in the comfort of your own home. You are supported through whatever happens expected or unexpected, even through cesareans or if and when you choose to have an epidural. There is no right or wrong way to give birth.
Do you want to have an erotic birth experience?
Women have been conditioned to believe that birth causes suffering and is dangerous. However, it is very much possible to have a birth that is both pleasurable and painful. Both can be a part of your experience. Pain is necessary, it is what causes the contractions, which will bring your baby to earth. However there can be pleasure in pain, because you are being in touch with it completely. When you are trying to escape your pain, you are suffering. Erotism is not about sex only, it is about being in touch with whatever is alive for you within your body, completely present with it. Allowing it to flow throughout your body.
Somatic education and practices will be incorporated throughout our time together to allow you to connect and feel safe within your body. I will also be a safe and compassionate space for you to be vulnerable, where you can let go and just be yourself, raw and unmasked. Your emotions, needs, desires and boundaries can be expressed here. I want to meet you with where you are at as each moment unfolds, allowing you to be felt, seen and heard. You do not need to change or be fixed in any way. You are enough just as you are. I will be with you, asking you questions, inquiring and allowing you to dig deep within yourself for your wisdom. One of my goals is to guide you to remember who you already are, and to accept all parts of yourself that want to be loved.
It is my privilege to witness and support you in your transformational journey

JAZMIN’S TESTIMONIAL
Having Dalal’s support as a doula was the best thing that could have happened to me during my pregnancy. I once heard that a doula is a pregnant woman’s best friend, and I proved it. It was much easier to understand the changes my body and emotions were going through and to learn to let go of control through the practices Dalal shared with me. As I said, her good hands in the kitchen was a blessing. She nourished both soul and body with snacks and delicious food, allowing my partner and I to fully dedicate ourselves to caring for and welcoming the baby. While she took care of me and created an environment where I felt supported, accompanied, and nurtured, I could focus my energy on recovering and caring for my newborn. The help and information that she gave me about breastfeeding my baby was so accurate that if it weren’t for her the process would have been more difficult and painful.
