I have been present with a lot of people who are experiencing large amounts of grief lately.

A new mom whose mother just passed.
A friend whose father just left his suffering.
A love of mine whose dog has crossed over the rainbow bridge.
A mama whose pregnancy and unborn baby passed.

I have had the honor of holding them while they wept, witnessing them as they rode the waves of sadness and remembrance, listening to them as they unraveled and felt and shared their open bleeding hearts.

Grief breaks our hearts open into pieces, shows us how much we love, our capacity to feel, what we’re really made of, what is at the core of us - the heart. It is not bound by time or space, rather it stays with us forever, changing as we do…forever changed.

Find your people, the ones you can be held by, the ones you trust, the ones you feel safe with, the ones who show up, the ones who check-in on you, the ones who love you unconditionally. Because, my darlings, this is the most important thing in life.

The Yogi’s say, “There is a light inside of your heart that holds no pain. You may not be able to feel it or see it at this time, but it is there.”

I am here for it. I am here for you.

With love and appreciation,
Marissa

“To mother is to nurture, to give life force to, to receive and to hold space for. It is the non-linear form of protective energy that does not use force or will to protect, but rather demonstrates strength in non-duality, in reception, and in acceptance. But mothering is not only the receptive feminine energy. Within mothering also lies a powerful, active, outward warrior energy that will do just about anything to protect that which she seeks to nurture. To mother is to claim the perfect balance of the feminine and masculine energy.”
~ “Understanding the Mother Archetype” by Becca Clegg

03/28/2022

Hi, I’m Marissa! I have had the honor of supporting parents for 10 years as a Birth Doula, Postpartum Doula, Childbirth Educator and Prenatal/Postnatal Yoga Instructor in the Truckee-Tahoe area. My journey with birth work began long before becoming a Doula. Since I can remember I have loved birth and babies. At the young age of 9-years old, I would watch “A Birth Story” on the TLC program and I knew I would work in supporting families during pregnancy and birth somehow.

It wasn’t until 2012 that I learned about Doulas and felt called to become one. That is when I found Birthing From Within and joined their Doula and Mentor program. Since then I have gained further education and training through Jane Austin’s Prenatal/Postnatal Yoga Level 1 & 2 certifications, completed Spinning Babies workshops, studied Birth Story Listening and completed an Ayurvedic Postpartum Doula training with Sacred Windows Studies.

My Doula style is loving, compassionate, understanding, grounding, calming and dynamic. I help people prepare for the birth of their dreams by providing education, information, practices and resources. I believe with the proper care, support, love and time that parents can have happier experiences of pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I strive to help parents understand their options, how to make decisions and how to find solutions in the moment to achieve a positive empowered birth.

I like to help partners be the hero by helping them understand how to best support the birthing person. The Mother and partner deserve the best caregiving possible so they can focus on the work of birth and becoming a parent. To me being a Doula is intuitive and having a special talent for reading the scene and doing what’s best and most helpful in the moment to positively influence their experience.

I want to walk with you. I want to share with you what I know. I want to help you see what works best for you. I want to support you, love on you and be present with you. I want to hold space for you in those moments when you’re doubting yourself or things are coming up for you. I am here to lovingly support, guide and love you through your unique journey into parenthood.

Dear Expecting Parents,

First of all, congratulations on your pregnancy! How are you feeling about it?

It's okay to feel the many emotions that come with pregnancy and becoming a parent. You are not alone. Not everyone is excited about it, in love with the concept or even ready at times. That's okay too.
