Mindful Maternity Doula

01/04/2023

Most recent Client review -- Thank you to this family and all the love and trust in me. :) i love my job.

"Matti was such a wonderful addition to our birthing experience. She is so knowledgeable and her calm and encouraging demeanor is exactly what our family needed during birth. Matti provided support throughout our pregnancy and as a first time mother, she eased anxiety, provided other perspectives, and encouraged my husband and I through all that our pregnancy and birth brought. Matti was our doula but she was also a friend. I 100% will be using Matti’s support if and when we are able to have another baby."

I have openings for Feb and March still. April has room for one more! Reach out for questions or a consult!

Listen to this, not in the case of judgement. Many have needed/chose to do it! Nothing wrong just don’t let your doctor try and force pull you into it if you don’t feel the urge to need it, unless medically necessary! It’s perfect for the non bias and just true studied educated facts…

Where you birth and who you choose to care for you matter. You can interview 22 doctors before you pick just one, but always ask their caesarean percentage rate and that of the hospitals not just the OB or midwife. Make sure to ask if they support your family and birth beliefs, ask if you can push off your back to avoid stress on your perineum, make sure they’re doing as you wish, you pay them!

A lot of the stats for hospitals are in the 25% or higher for cesarean just in Colorado (Denver area) hospitals alone… birth was made for you, you deserve all the time and help to have your baby not be on a time clock and waiting to see if your provider shows up or not. mothers deserve proper care if they’re having the children of the future… we need more midwives to save these women from trauma and maternal death.

Midwifery care cuts cost, improves outcomes, and increases patient satisfaction. Removing barriers to it could make pregnancy and childbirth safer in the U.S.

This…. The Postpartum period and PP mood disorders are lacking education and information on so many fronts! This is one of my favorite PP facts. The postpartum period doesn’t last just 6 weeks or even 12. Sometimes it hits at 6 months or even 15 months, maybe it happens once you stop nursing your babe or maybe they stop on their own. But talk to someone who can relate mamas. There’s groups, there’s individual therapies/counseling, and even probably a friendly neighbor that can relate. But talk about it, talk about what you love and don’t love in your new roll, talk about your fears and your accomplishments! This is your journey and it can be scary, accept the help and reach out if ever needed!!
