The Humbled Helper Doula Services
Share
The Humbled Helper is a professional doula service operating in the Asheville area, seeking to serve and empower women through their birthing experience.
I am passionate about helping women discover the beauty and power of birth and motherhood. As a doula I assist mothers-to-be with information and support during pregnancy and labor. Childbirth is a natural and divinely designed process that should be embraced and not feared. The doula is there to serve, empower, and encourage women to help them achieve the birth experience that they desire.

Think about it...
"Focusing on an EDD (estimated due date) can set a woman up for often unnecessary fetal well-being tests, unnecessary induction, and the increased potential for serious risks during childbirth." -Trina Hampton

Beautiful words. And for what it's worth, adult diapers are the best for postpartum 😜
"This is what 24 hours postpartum looks like. Baby in sling. Skin to skin. Adult diapers. And a rosy glow. My body feels like it ran a marathon and my heart is wide open from yesterday's travels. Birth opens us like an earthquake opens the earth and I am still in the intimate, fragile throes of that opening. I feel raw. Emotional. Different. I feel like I'm on the undulating surface of the rippling ocean being tossed back and forth between happiness, gratitude, melancholy, and grief. 23 hours ago I held life within and 24 hours ago I surged and transformed allowing life to flow through me, into my waiting hands. The emptiness in my womb brings a heavy feeling crashing into reality but then this new little life whimpers, searching for the breast with soft rooting, and I feel whole again. I am still processing the beautiful transition my whole family has traveled through and I am in complete awe of our strength as humans, women, and mothers. This time is simply unlike any other." -- .moon
