I am Allison Green, a mother, holistic birth & postpartum doula, & Birth Story Medicine® Listener living in the East Bay.
Having experienced a profound shift after the birth of my son, I answered the call to support others in times of transformation.
I’m here to support families in their rite of passage through personalized birth doula support & traditional daytime postpartum care.
My hope is that you will feel seen, honored, & supported so that you & your family thrive.
Ethos:
Recognizing your unique birth journey as a rite of passage
Birth is a heroic journey which requires accessing both modern and inner knowing. Taking time to explore your beliefs about birth, pain, motherhood, parenting, your fears, & beyond before labor deepens my ability to support you. Together we will embrace the unknown & your unique experience.
You know your body and journey best. I’m here to witness, support, and celebrate you in this transformational time of initiation in the ways you desire.
Postpartum is the journey out of the labyrinth
Families require support in the postpartum period in order to thrive. This is a necessity not a luxury. The effects of this supportive care ripple out into the community creating a more beautiful world.
I’m here to offer in-home support & set you up with resources & a plan for a nourishing postpartum return. This can make all the difference for you and your family’s health, happiness, and ease of integration and transition into parenthood and the rituals of your new family.
Tending to your birth story
1 in 3 women report experiencing birth trauma. Birth Story Medicine® understands that birth stories benefit from gentle tending from an open-minded, compassionate listener to gain a new understanding & a path forward.
While you cannot change the events that unfolded, you can change the meaning and beliefs you take from your birth experiences. You are the author of your birth story.
I’ve been there.
I’ve trudged through the labyrinth, made the descent & now I’m on the other side. I know how beneficial support through birth & postpartum can be not just for that brief period of time but for the rest of your life. A rite of passage such as birth & postpartum deserves to be tended to, to be nurtured, & to be honored for the truly metamorphic life event that it is.
