Hey, yall! I am Monique Cowan. I am your friendly resident Family Nurturing Specialist - aka, Birth and Postpartum Doula and Lactation Educator. I’m a mother of a beautiful, talented and brilliant daughter, whose birth inspired me to train as a doula. I formally trained to be a doula in 2011, but, I have been doing the work of a doula since 2001, before I knew what a doula was. I naturally cared for my friends and family members during and after their pregnancies. And I have cared for babies and children personally and professionally since the age of 16.
My mission is to help mothers understand and connect with their own innate and inalienable power, and to birth and parent from that space. Because so much of what moms say they want and decisions they make for birth is based in their deep fear and anxiety, I focus on fear and anxiety release before the birth and postpartum plans are even made. I am passionate about supporting her clients holistically and bringing in the entire family so that birth and postpartum is full of love, joy and power as the norm and not the exception!
