My name is Ryan Watson and I am a DONA international trained birth doula. My passion for birth began during my first pregnancy when I was soaking up any bit of information I could about childbirth in order to better prepare myself for the big event. I was shocked and frightened by the many scary, and less than desirable birth stories I was hearing, with the positive being few and far between. My mission was to find out what was missing!
In my findings the common thread was that women felt like they were simply a bystander when it came to their own labor and birth experiences. I believe that this should by no means be the case! Every woman deserves to be nurtured, cared for and respected in a way that meets her individual needs in such a precious time as welcoming her child into the world. Birth should not be something that women fear or have to suffer through due to lack of care, it should be a beautiful experience that they will treasure for a lifetime!
I am passionate about my own beautiful and peaceful home birth experiences but also know the great value of continuous labor support for women choosing to birth in any setting. Whether you are planing a natural birth, one utilizing medical pain relief or a cesarian birth, it is my desire to be a continuous support for you and your partner during this sacred time.
I am a wife and mother living in sunny southern California. My husband Matt and sons Levi and Ezra mean the world to me! I am passionate about childbirth and the beautiful gift it is. Through continued education as well as personal experience, I believe that I can help other women empower themselves and achieve the peaceful birth of their dreams. I am also a dedicated breastfeeding advocate and am able to offer support in this area as well.
