While the word "doula" is common to us here at kozēkozē, it's a term we realize not many have heard before. Today, Garrett interviews birth and postpartum doula Allison Morgan, to go over how and why to choose a doula for birth and postpartum success, and what it means to be a doula. Allison gives incredible advice for first-time moms, moms like Garrett who've had traumatic birth experiences, and even walks us through how to navigate life after traumatic birth.
TW: birth trauma
Allison is the founder and owner of Holistic Birth & Beyond and began her doula journey in 2017. Allison is a birth & postpartum doula, childbirth & lactation educator, reiki practitioner, birth story mentor and certified placenta encapsulation specialist. Allison is grateful to have supported 300+ families on their pregnancy and postpartum journeys.
Going beyond baby gadgets and pregnancy glow to reveal your inner thoughts, conflicts, hopes and instincts that live below the surface is a passion of Allison's. Allison's style is usually considered to be calming and observant, balancing evidence-based conversation and a nurturing presence to help families have satisfying, empowering experiences.
Providing warmth and unconditional love for parents, newborns and the family as a whole is an honor. Being part of such a vulnerable, intimate experience is extraordinary and something Allison truly cherishes.
