We would be honored to join you on your journey.
We would be honored to join you on your journey.
This is Mary, the founder of Lotus Doula Tribe, with her son Beau and the women behind Lotus Doula Tribe, Hilda Anderson Erickson. She was Marys great great Aunt. She immigrated to America from Sweden when she was 7 and made her way West as a Pioneer. After having her 2 kids she became a midwife and helped support thousands of the Goshute Indians in Northwestern Utah. She would ride her horse side saddle to births up to 25 miles away. Hence why they have her statute that way. She lived to be 109 years old, the oldest living Pioneer. Mary recently made the trip to visit her statue that the town of Grantsville erected for her. She was a beacon of light for this City. Every year they dedicate October 12th to her, and the whole city celebrates her. She was an incredible women of service, she has passed that quality down the line to Marys Grandma and Mother, both women who volunteer and serve women in many capacities.
Having a doula as a member of the birth team decreases the overall cesarean rate by 50%, the length of labor by 25%, the use of Pitocin by 40%, and requests for an epidural by 60%. The #1 thing we hear from mamas "I wish I had known about you for my first child". The cost of hiring a doula will outweigh the cost of birth trauma and therapy later in life. Give yourself this gift of support, self care, and being truly seen, heard and understood.
The role of the doula is never to take the place of husbands, partners, or Grandma/Mothers in labor, but rather to complement and enhance their experience. You know your partner and we know birth, so let's work together and be a birth dream team!
Advocacy is defined as supporting the mother in her right to make decisions about their own body and baby. Our goal is to help you feel calm, comfortable and confident as your birth unfolds.
In our prenatal visits we will customize a childbirth education course for you, discuss and prepare your birth plan, prenatal nutrition, assist with your baby registry, as well as take care of you through prenatal yoga, meditation, sound bath ceremonies, and foot massages.
As you enter the birth portal, we will create the perfect environment, from music to lighting, essential oils to photos/video, labor poses to massage, and working with you and your partner to advocate for the birth you want. We also offer placenta encapsulation.
We understand the beauty and sacredness alongside the overwhelming challenges of the 4th trimester-Postpartum. We believe new mothers need to be held lovingly just as much as their new born baby, for she has been born too. We bring nourishing soup, healing tea as well as going over newborn care, breastfeeding assistance, sibling adjustments, closing of the bones ceremony with belly binding and massage, help take care of you and anything else you may need to help make this new transition as smooth as possible.
