Shortly after the miracle of conception, I found myself on an unexpected journey through grief and heartbreak. Along the way, butterflies began appearing as gentle reminders of my son’s presence, bringing comfort and guiding me forward. Little did I know, this path of loss would lead me to my purpose—supporting expectant and new mothers on their journeys to motherhood. Through my experience as a mother, and with the quiet strength of these butterfly moments, I’ve found resilience, empathy, and a profound appreciation for the blessing of becoming a mother—an experience that deeply shapes how I guide and support the families I serve.
“Butterfly Birthing” evokes an image of transformation and delicate beauty. I think of the metamorphosis of a butterfly, symbolizing growth, change, and new beginnings. In a broader sense, it represents the birth of something fragile yet powerful, like the emergence of new life or the unfolding of potential.
The birthing process can be a graceful and gentle journey, much like the delicate emergence of a butterfly from its chrysalis. In each birth, there is a profound sense of renewal, transformation, and natural wonder—a moment when new life unfurls its wings for the first time. As a doula, I strive to honor this beautiful transition, guiding mothers with compassion, care, and the wisdom of personal experience as they welcome their little ones into the world.
