Congratulations on your pregnancy! I am thrilled for you as you embark on the incredible journey of motherhood.
My name is Joanna Sjoberg. I live in Teton Valley, I am a mother to one beautiful girl and a wife to my high-school sweetheart. The birth of my daughter sparked my passion for childbirth and showed me the power and strength that lies in motherhood.
Birth can be an empowering & special experience. You are creating life and rising to your greatest calling, being a mom. While motherhood can hold power, strength, and what sometimes feels like magic, during pregnancy we can experience feelings of anxiety and fear about our birth. While we cannot control birth or the outcome, we can control our mindset, how we react to situations, and educate ourselves. Knowledge truly is power.
As your doula, I will be there to help ease any fear or anxiety that may arise during your pregnancy, educate you on childbirth, and help you create a birthing space that reflects your personality, desires, and goals. I will advocate for you and support you emotionally and physically throughout your birth. I will also provide support to your partner. I believe partners should be involved throughout pregnancy, labor and feel empowered supporting mom in welcoming their child earth side. I believe in the mind-body connection - your thoughts and feelings surrounding your pregnancy and birth are so important. Your mama gut instincts are strong and my hope is that you can learn to trust those instincts during your pregnancy and birth. I also strongly believe in informed consent. Your birth is about you and your baby. You should feel safe, empowered and loved in your birth space. I support and respect all birthing methods, whether you choose to give birth at the hospital, at home, have a cesarean, medicated, or unmedicated birth.
Your birth is a sacred space, I would be honored to be part of it.
