As a doula, guide or facilitator of Soma journeys, my primary role is to create a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment that allows you, the journeyer to enter into an altered state of awareness.
I am there as your guide, watcher and doula. I walk the journey with you, in ceremony with you. I promise to remain present for you for the entire duration of your journey, engaging my senses, my intuition, my knowledge and experience to support you in every way that I can. I am respectful of your process and allow you to experience the fullness of your process, whether that is feeling the grief you have avoided for a very long time, or allowing for joy to bubble up and over into uncontrollable laughter. I will not jump in to rescue you, or interrupt your process, but rather, trust that you will ask for help when you need it, respecting your ability to process what must arise.
As a doula, I have been present for almost 500 women as they prepared to meet their babies in the altered state of labour. I am present for them in their pain, in the joy, in their sadness, drawing on my own spiritual resources and practical learnings to support in any way that I am able to.
I am in tune and attune to the journeyer and work intuitively and with integrity. I will walk with you as you rebirth yourself through your Soma Journey.
These are my promises to you as your Soma Doula:
- I promise to create a safe and supportive environment to help you fully engage with the experience without fear or anxiety. This includes ensuring that the physical space is comfortable, safe, quiet, and free from distractions, so that you feel supported and cared for throughout your journey.
- I promise to help you set clear intentions insofar as you are able to, which serve as a guide for the experience and help to focus your attention and awareness.
- I promise to work with integrity, respecting your boundaries and ensuring you are safe in the space I help to create for you.
- I promise to use music that is conducive to creating a supportive and immersive environment for you. Music can help to regulate mood, deepen the experience, and provide a powerful emotional anchor for the journeyer.
- I promise to use my skills as a doula where necessary, using my intuition, understanding and knowledge to guide me. I often make use of guided meditation and breathing exercises to help to bring the journeyer back to a place of inner calm, grounding and stability if they become overwhelmed during the journey.
- I promise not to interrupt your process, allowing you to go through your emotions for healing. I do engage in active listening where necessary, providing support, guidance, and feedback as needed and only where support is necessary.
- I promise to provide to the best of my abilities, integration support; meeting with you one-on-one after your journey and also making sure you have a referral to see for further integration sessions. This is a most important part of the process.
