A Warm Hello!
I am Cathy Gomez (she/her) though my clients have given me the sweet name of “Doula Cat” which is near and dear to my heart. I would be honored to offer you birth doula support as you embark on a journey of a lifetime starting with pregnancy, moving into birth, and having a whole new beginning as you transform into parenthood.
I provide comprehensive and compassionate birth doula support and childbirth education for expectant parent(s) and their families in the Greater Sacramento area. I have been practicing as a birth doula since 2016, and I count my lucky stars that I have been able to support 200 plus families as their birth doula, childbirth educator and prenatal yoga teacher.
Here is the foundation I work to set for each family that I serve when providing doula support, and I see this as a sacred intimate experience and a blessing to be invited into:
- Each birth is unique
- Expectant parent(s) birth intentions and wisdom need to be heard, honored, and supported
- Pregnancy and birth is an incredible time of transformation, expansion, and release
- Birth givers (partners too) undergo incredible physical and emotional changes
- Many different emotions can be experienced within this journey (joy, excited, scared, happy and so much more)
- Challenges and fears can surface during this time, too!
- Sacred wisdom has guided and empowered birth givers since the beginning of time
- It can take a community of support to help guide a new family into parenthood (and through all seasons of life)
- The journey of birth is a precious time that has memories a birth giver can carry for a lifetime.
