After months of thought, reflection, and wrestling with a very difficult decision, I’ve made the decision to pause my work as a doula.
This is not something I came to quickly or easily. I’ve spent a lot of time sitting with this decision, and while it’s incredibly hard to step away from work that I love, I know it’s the right decision for me and my family in this season of life.
Right now, there are things in my personal life that need more of my time, energy, and care, and I also need to make space to prioritize my own mental and physical well-being.
I’m so incredibly grateful for every family who has trusted me to be part of such an important and vulnerable time in their lives. Being invited into your homes and those early days of parenthood has been a true privilege. This work has meant more to me than I can put into words, and the people I’ve met along the way will stay with me.
Stepping away is bittersweet. I love being a doula, and this decision has brought a lot of emotions with it. But I’m learning that sometimes taking care of others also means recognizing when it’s time to take care of yourself and the people closest to you.
For now, I’m giving myself permission to pause without needing to know exactly what comes next.
Thank you to every family, colleague, friend, and supporter who has been part of this chapter. I’m carrying so much gratitude with me as I step into this next season.
