Where do babies come from? How does pregnancy work? What can I expect during each trimester? Are there things I should watch out for? WHERE DO I BEGIN?

Through either group workshops or 1:1 sessions, we can help answer all of these questions and more!

Reproductive Justice is central to the work of Altared Roots Doula. We can offer information to support and expand your choices. The deep Ancestral legacy of empowered choice is something we wholeheartedly defend. If that means keeping yourself from getting or staying pregnant, we’re here for you. If that means working to support you in getting and staying pregnant, we’re in your corner!

We are able to provide a broad array of support throughout pregnancy and labor. Designing the experience that you want, planning for the unknown, and helping you navigate systems is what we love to do!

Most of our Indigenous societies held some practice related to the “lying in” of the person who’d just given birth. Lasting from 30, 40, 60 days, this period is a time for the new parent to adjust to their new body and identity, for the family to adjust to having a new member of the household, and for healing of the body, mind, and spirit of those who’ve just crossed the Veil. Altared Roots Doula can work with you to facilitate that process.
