Thyme In The Studio

Davinah Simmons is a full spectrum doula, a childbirth and lactation educator, a facilitator, a writer and photographer. In this conversation we chatted about how rest is medicine and what it has been like to be a full spectrum doula during this pandemic. her doula practice has evolved over the last 2 years. We discuss rage and grief and ancestral healing and the range of emotions that occur during postpartum time. She created a worksheet for her clients to have difficult conversations ideally before a baby is born and we discuss the workshops she has hosted and plans to host in the future, the enneagram and racism, writing practices and rituals to help release energetic chords between self and others. Dancing for our grief and witnessing birth stories as a way to help bring more healing to this planet.Oooh, and She was recently featured on NPR and it is a great episode. There will be a link to that in the show notes if you wanna hear that. And you can listen back to episode 30 for our chat from almost 2 year
