"I share my story with you to bolster your belief in your body's abilities, your determination to do what you believe is best for you and your baby, and to fight for your rights as a woman. I would be honored to be your advocate.
As a Certified Birth Doula, Birth Coach, and Postpartum Doula I desire to support every woman I assist in having the birth she knows is right for her." - Micah Lively
My Story, My Philosophy
My Story, My Philosophy
My passion for helping women have the birth they desire began decades ago when I started my journey into motherhood. As a 20-year-old with little knowledge of birthing, the birth process, my rights, and with no empowerment, I began motherhood at a deficit. Beginning in lack did not set me up for success and led to me having a C-section. My birth was traumatic. It stole my power. It risked my life, as well as my baby's life.
Evidenced-Based Research has found that overall,
individuals who have continuous support during childbirth experience:
39% decrease in unplanned Cesarean birth
15% increase in the likelihood of a spontaneous vaginal birth
10% decrease in the use of any medications for pain relief
Shorter labors by 41 minutes on average
38% decrease in the baby’s having a low five minute Apgar score
31% decrease in the risk of being dissatisfied with the birth experience...all because of the support of a Birth Doula
