Doula Care

I’m so glad you’re here! MotherBearth Doula Care provides informed, nurturing, and individualized support for you during your journey of pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

Offerings

I provide personalized support throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period, ensuring that every family feels informed and empowered during this transformative time. My services include birth preparation and nesting help, continuous support all the way through labor to birth, and nurturing postpartum care tailored to individual needs.

As your Birth Doula, I will provide you with emotional and physical support during pregnancy, labor, and after birth. This includes two comprehensive prenatal visits to discuss your birth plan and desires, continuous care throughout your entire labor and delivery, and two nourishing postpartum care visits.

My approach as a doula is holistic, to see, respect, and advocate for your WHOLE self in the birth process for the most positive and empowering birth journey possible.

As your Postpartum Doula, I can support your transition into your new life with your baby. Whether this is your first child or fifth, I will offer nurturing and informed care during your fourth trimester. This can take many forms from dishes and laundry, baby care so you can rest, meal prep, lactation resources, and or a closing ceremony to wrap up your birth journey.

Your postpartum journey is unique, and I’m here to support you through its many complexities.

I offer other services such as:

  • Pregnancy belly casting & painting

  • Pregnancy & new family film photographs

  • A resource bank of local and virtual support systems

  • Coming soon: Placenta prints and encapsulation

Research has shown that having the support of a birth doula can drastically enhance the birth outcome and experience for both birthing person and child.

  • 28% less likely to have a cesarean section

  • 31% less likely to use synthetic oxytocin to speed up labor

  • 9% less likely to use any pain medication

  • 34% less likely to rate their childbirth experience negatively

Why a doula?

My Approach

Hi! I’m Xanthia, a Eugene Oregon based Birth and Postpartum Doula.

I promote a holistic approach to birth work that does not compartmentalize your physical, mental and spiritual health into separate, unrelated categories. I don’t just look at only your “birthing parts”, but your whole self and experience through your birth and postpartum journey.

I believe that creating a culture of nurture, wellness and genuine care for women and folks with uteruses has reverberating effects for the healing of our society and our Mother(b)earth.

And, this starts with you! As a person on this birth journey, you have needs and desires, I want to uplift and support. Together, we start this change now.

First, let’s get to know each other.

Choosing your birth and postpartum care team is no small thing. It is essential that you feel safe, confident, and connected with someone as intimate as your doula. So, let’s chat and see if that’s us.

I offer a free 30-minute call so we can see if we’re a good match. If not, no worries. I’d be happy to help you find someone else who may be a good fit.
