Grateful Life Doula Services

Grateful Life Doula Services We have a heart to walk alongside those on the journey of new life, both physically and spiritually. Our philosophy is Love at birth~ love for life.

Childbirth is a rite of passage in many cultures and brings honor to families, blessing, and empowerment to women. The birth of a baby is supposed to be a time for celebration and excitement; however, this is not the experience that everyone has. For those facing an unplanned pregnancy or who have had birth
trauma, they feel afraid, alone, and unsupported. At no other time in history has it been s

o crucial that women have the necessary support! Jessica LaFavor is a dedicated mother of three grown children and a certified doula providing childbirth education for families, and conducting workshops for Christian Doula Training. The mission of Grateful Life Ministries LLC is love at birth, love for life, to walk alongside those on the journey of new life physically and spiritually. She provides doula coaching, trauma healing retreats, birth preparation sessions, and wellness products that support healthy pregnancy and motherhood. https://www.amway.com/en_US/myshop/GratefulLifeRetail

The passing down of this ancient wisdom is essential to mothers, wives, sisters,
daughters, and all women. This creates community, support, and courage. Her 25+ years of experience in the doula field includes certification through
DONA International as a birth doula, a ProDoula trained postpartum doula. She's a trauma healing facilitator, a certified peer recovery specialist and the
Women's Site Director for Next Chapter Ministries. Her heart is legacy—to equip, encourage, and empower people to be healthy, growing, and full of love! Jessica: When people ask what I do as a doula: I provide non-medical birth support, childbirth education, and a biblical perspective on pregnancy, parenting and postpartum care. I specialize in Christian doula training to mentor women in the art of becoming professional doulas in their communities and around the world! To be a Grateful Life Doula is to be of service whether in physical delivery or spiritual discipleship. Do you have the heart of a doula? https://venmo.com/Grateful-Life

Doulas are not acting as midwives, nurses, OBSs, etc., during birth. And if someone is, and calling themselves a doula, they're not acting as a doula.

I was incredibly fortunate to witness incredible parents welcome their second baby. And mom's biggest fear happened, another dystocia.

But here's what happened. Mom chose an incredible team. She chose providers she
trusted. She birthed at a facility that uses evidence-based practices. She chose a facility that cares about experience.

A facility and a provider who knows that yes, we measure safe outcomes, but how we get there matters too.

As a doula, the biggest thing I bring during complications is calm and knowledge.

We encourage our doulas to believe normal physiological birth often unfolds REALLY well but to also acknowledge that sometimes, nature is tricky.

A doula who is trained in emergency skills isn't learning to provide hands on clinical care. They're learning to stay calm and reassure parents while explaining what is going on. This allows clinical staff to focus on everyone's safety while parents still get personal support.

In those moments, I step back and ensure clinical staff have the space to work. I gently push partner to grab mom's hand, because they're her person, and tell him to reassure her.

And with provider skill, mom's ability to move and feel, and nurses who clearly practice the drills until they have muscle memory, a potential major complications is resolved and managed well. Healthy mom, healthy baby.

A hard birth doesn't have to equal a traumatic birth. And good qualified medical providers are worth their weight in gold!
