It’s officially been 15 years since I began my doula journey. In the last 15 years, I have supported well over 300 birthing people, and their partners in what is surely one of the most life-changing moments a person can experience. I am still, at every single birth, completely humbled and moved to be invited into and trusted with such sacred moments in a person’s life. Thank you to all the amazing, beautiful, strong women who have given me the privilege of witnessing and supporting you in your power. Photos are shared with permission. It’s always such a joy to get to attend the birth of multiple siblings in a family! 🥹

Hello everyone! I’m popping on here to give an update on the last year and what is coming up next for me. I attended 24 beautiful births in 2024! Each one brought its own mix of emotion, beauty, and hard work. I will never not be inspired by a birthing person’s power and depth. In addition to doing doula work, I finished up my temporary license as a therapist and received my full license as an LMHC! My next adventure is expanding my entrepreneurship to include my own little therapy business! Besides all of the background work that it takes to own a little business, not much will change. I will still be working in my same office alongside some of the best therapists in Des Moines! I am expanding my hours this year, so I do have a few openings, both for therapy and for doula clients! Despite all the uncertainty in our world right now, I find so much hope in staying present and in connection with others. I feel so lucky that my life‘s work allows me plenty of opportunity to stay awake and attuned to the brave human spirit so consistently. If you are able or feel so led, please do share my name and information to help my little corner of human service work thrive. Prospective doula and therapy clients can now reach me at [email protected] and my new website is www.emilyrosetherapy.com. Thank you! 🙏

2022 is coming to a close, and with so much change in 2023, I can’t help but feel reflective of the last year. 43 births… 21 baby girls and 22 baby boys. So many beautiful moments. Hard moments. Hilarious moments. I am always so humbled and grateful when people invite me into the most vulnerable and sacred moments of their lives. After the birth we process and cry and wonder at the brutal beauty of it all. Just as these families have all welcomed me into the the transition into parenthood, I now begin a transition of my own. In addition to my doula services, I am also now offering counseling and therapy services at Path to Peace counseling. I have openings beginning in January. Feel free to share my information with people needing support, for counseling or doula services! The best way to reach me is through my email: [email protected] Happy holidays!
