"What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal." ~ Albert Pine
My life completely changed with the conception of my Stuart. I came back home (so to speak) and took rest, Meditated and practiced Yoga everyday throughout my pregnancy. I always knew that my life would take a different turn when I became a mother. I'm inspired by BOLD due to the fact it inspires expectant mothers that they can have the birth they want! I had a wonderful water birth experience and I wish to empower other expectant mothers along my way- teaching Yoga to Mamas.
After the birth of my first little boy 9 years ago, I realised that what we lacked most in our birthing and new mommy environment was support. I became passionate in researching and learning how I could best offer support to new mothers as, for me, being a first time mom seemed like such a lonely experience. I then had my second little boy who is now 6 years old. That was when a close and inspirational friend introduced me to the world of Doulas and I knew that I had found my calling in life. My birth experiences where not what I had hoped they would be and it has, since then, become an obsession – women need to know their birth options and, more importantly, their rights in birth. I believe that this is what the play is all about and it’s wonderful that we now have such a powerful tool with which we can spread the word.
