In this episode I'm diving deep into a topic that's been on my heart—how you can experience professional doula support while keeping your birth intimate and private through virtual birth support. This option could be the perfect solution for mamas who are torn between wanting expert guidance and maintaining the sacred space of birth with just their husband present.

After supporting many families as an in-person doula and experiencing my own intimate birth with my husband as my primary support, I've seen firsthand how powerful it can be when couples work together during labor. But I've also witnessed how having professional guidance at key moments can make all the difference. That's why I'm passionate about sharing how virtual doula support bridges this gap beautifully.

Whether you're facing financial constraints, living in an area without faith-based doulas, or simply preferring a more private birth experience while still wanting expert support—this episode will show you how virtual support can transform your birth experience without compromising intimacy.

In this episode, I share: 

🏡 My own birth story and what I wish we'd had for guidance during critical moments 

💻 Exactly what virtual doula support looks like from prenatal prep through postpartum 

👫 How this model empowers husbands to be confident, capable birth partners 

💰 Why virtual support costs a fraction of in-person services while still providing comprehensive care 

🙏 The biblical foundation for seeking wise counsel and community support during birth

Scripture Shared: 

"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor. If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up." – Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
