Our founder lost a baby and everything about that process shook her to the core. She birthed doula dudela as a space for girls, boys, women and men to have a helping, compassionate hand for all of life’s most important moments. It is a place for expectant mothers, fathers and families to attain the support they need throughout life. Doula Dudela supports you through the entire process of coming of age, menstruating, becoming a woman, getting pregnant, being pregnant, birthing, rearing a child, being a parent, cultivating relationships, building businesses, discovering your expression, and yes even dying.
She comes from over a decade of experience working with Fortune 500 companies, top-level management consulting, storytelling, formulating products and taking care of businesses.
The decisions she made around the pregnancy left her grieving for many years. She felt that there was more support in helping someone purchase a product than in having a baby, becoming a parent or dying. She didn’t understand how we as a society left the village model and expected people to come into life’s initiations alone or for families to rear children without a village, so she’s training people on how to provide compassionate support, showing people how they can support themselves, and creating a village of unwavering support around individuals, families, and society as a whole.
She sat back and remembered all of the important initiations she didn’t have guidance with and decided to create an organization focused on holding each other in deep support so people could come into themselves.
Losing her baby forever changed her life.
She wanted a place for a woman to feel safe to birth in the manner she wants, with a full support network regardless of location of birth: hospital, birthing center, or at home and that absolutely includes support for fathers and the entire family.
She wanted men in general, especially those who were becoming fathers to feel supported so she created the Dudela to teach men the basics of birth, life, business, and death. Her intention is that every man feels supported in life’s most important moments.
When mothers are supported, society prospers. When we support the entire family, we create a better humanity.
Doula / Dudela inpowers women to consciously take the journey of motherhood and men into fatherhood. We believe that birthing and child raising is one of the most important aspects of life and it is a communal process. We also believe that the roles are unique in scope.
We are the first organization to not only provide full spectrum doula services, we train partners to be dudelas and to get ready for parenthood.
We offer full spectrum services for women, men, children and families on sex, relationships, fertility, conception, pregnancy, birth, post-pardum, parenting, family dynamics, child rearing, business creation, and death.
You can have the birth experience you want. We help you create it and then hold your hand throughout the process.
We view the process of birth, life and death as one of the greatest initiations into who someone is.
We believe in every new moment. We are here to help you every step of the way: mind, body, soul and spirit.
Love, Momma Doula
