Today's Mom-to-Mom interview series is extra special to me, because I had the opportunity to speak with Gila Shire, who was my doula at my first home birth and will soon be with us for my second in just a few months!! Gila is a doula, bodywork practitioner, and yoga teacher in Phoenix, AZ who has been working in the birth world for 15+ years. Originally from Germany, Gila started her career very early in life as a nurse but quickly realized upon her own pregnancy and birth experience that she didn't want to live a Western medicine lifestyle. This catapulted her into pursuing her massage training, which led down the path to becoming a doula and supporting women in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. In this episode, we talk about midwifery care, the importance of women educating themselves on their options when it comes to where and how they birth, her experiences witnessing the transformative power of birth, the importance of building a strong foundation with your partner before having a baby, letting go of the expectations on how motherhood is "supposed" to look like, postpartum recovery and the Fourth Trimester, and so much more! For any woman out there, regardless of your phase of motherhood... this one is worth a listen.  You can find out more about Gila and contact her at https://www.yogila.com/ (and for local Phoenix mamas, highly recommend booking time for a massage with her... such a special experience!)  Other resources mentioned in this episode: Holistic Stages of Birth by Whapio - https://thematrona.com/the-holistic-stages-of-birth/ Holistic Stages of Birth Podcast 1 - https://birthful.com/podcastholisticstages1/ Rethinking the Pushing Stage Podcast - https://birthful.com/podcast-pushing-stage/   If you're looking for more support in your transition to motherhood, find out more about my private coaching at www.laurenmaddencoaching.com.

Birthing is your right!  Birth is power!  Warriors like Gila Shire are standing up for you and your child!

What is a doula? What does a doula do? Maybe you've seen the word, but do you know what it means? For doula Gila Shire, her mission is to let people know they have choices when it comes to the birth process. And, she wants to let everyone know there is support.   Gila will talk about what her work as a doula looks like at the birth, but also the kinds of support she offers both before and after the event. Gila has years of experience as a nurse, yoga instructor, and doula, and she has a lot of wisdom to offer.   Even if a birth isn't on your radar right now, listen in and learn with Gila!   For more information, find us on Facebook and Twitter (@nobodysview), on Instagram (@japlosker), or join the conversation at our Facebook group, Simple Spirituality (http://bit.ly/SimpleSpiritualityGroup).
