Bamboo is a vigorous and versatile plant that symbolizes grace, endurance and compromise as it bends but does not easily break.  Bamboo survives in the harshest conditions and endures nature’s challenges with resilience and flexibility. Standing tall and green year-round a bamboo forest sways in the wind reminding us of the strength, yielding and adaptability necessary during the powerful process of birth.

Birth Doula

 

Why Use a Doula?

A doula provides continuous non-clinical support to a woman and her partner during pregnancy, birth, and the early weeks of parenting. A doula at your side during labor is focused solely on you and your partner to provide emotional support, practical assistance, and an objective presence. She can offer practical tips on comfort measures, help you understand basic terminology, procedures and medical practices, and how to effectively communicate with your medical caregivers.  Doulas are part of a whole team where each member has a special role to play in supporting you for your birth.

Client Testimonials

I feel l was more comfortable with my body this pregnancy and labor.  I credit you for helping me learn more about my body and for helping me become more knowledgeable about the whole labor process and what to expect.

I found you to be extremely calming. I felt that you used several techniques in assisting "the mom" with keeping control and remaining in a peaceful place during the intense times. - UIHC Labor and Delivery Nurse

Your presence in the room made me very comfortable and relaxed.

As a loving man I was unable to connect with my wife during much of her pain.  Jun-Nicole touched my wife, transmitted powerful energy and locked eyes with my wife in a metaphysical way only a woman could. 

Jun-Nicole was a blessing to my husband and I thru our 1st laboring experience.  Her clear-headedness, stamina, and unconditional acceptance of the laboring process as a whole gave me strength during my most trying times.  My vulnerability on a spiritual, physical and mental level was extreme, yet I always felt safe and well-received around her. 

Jun-Nicole really encouraged me to look into a birthing process that would be right for me and my husband. She was a huge help in creating my birth plan and really helped me gain confidence and assurance that I would have a wonderful birth experience. She has an admirable trait of being able to listen and discuss without pushing any of her own beliefs. She is so knowledgeable about birth and baby topics. She will explain the different options and let you take that information and make your own decision.
