A Note From the Founder
First, as a sister and a friend, then as a mother myself, I have seen the medical system sow fear and doubt into women regarding their body's capability to achieve what it was intended to. The truth is, childbirth is both natural and miraculous.
I believe that every woman has the right to decide what interventions she wants to use in childbirth without the use of fear, but instead through true informed consent. I continue learning daily how best to help each new mama, both through lived experiences and through research, and will gladly share my knowledge.
I also believe that every woman should be supported through the most vulnerable and powerful moment of her life. In a system that pushes women away from their natural state, I am here to be that calming support and advocate.
Barbara Sorhe, Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula
Barbara has a lifelong passion for empowering and advocating for others. She has supported the women in her life during pregnancy through postpartum since 2009.
The care from her provider during the birth of her first child was less than ideal and Barbara found herself having to advocate harder than ever for minimal interventions. With her second, she found herself having an unassisted birth in the hospital because her care team had never seen a natural, physiological, intervention-free birth and were simply unprepared.
These two experiences led Barbara to drastically change her career path. After leaving the corporate world to birth and raise her own children, she found her passion for advocating for women in their own pregnancies and births.
Outside of birth work, Barbara is all about family, both related and chosen. The people who are blessed to be in her circle know that she is always only a call away. She is passionate about supporting the full potential and development of her beautiful children. She is constantly researching and learning new skills, but somehow remains laid back.
If you are looking for someone to help you feel both supported and grounded, who empowers you to speak up for yourself and advocate for your wishes when you are unable, who will strive to educate and train you to trust yourself in childbirth and early parenthood – look no further.
