Today we’d like to introduce you to Lakesha Quarles.
Hi Lakesha, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Being a mother of one myself, I realized how crucial professional care during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period is. I have recently started my journey as a Doula and have been working in health care for more than seven years.
My goal is that every mother feels grounded, nourished, empowered, and ready to take on motherhood! I make sure that each woman that works with me is receiving physical and mental care, both before and after birth; evidence-based knowledge to make informed decisions; and one support from me during this transitional time in a professional, non-biased way. I, myself, have experienced a medicated hospital birth and infertility issues as well. I know what it feels like to be pregnant and to have the anxiety and fear of the unknown take over.
I know the concerns about how to care for the life of a newborn child and how this new addition may change a family dynamic. I know the desire to want to be a perfect mother, and the fear of not knowing everything and wondering “how will I ever learn it all?” I understand all of these concerns, which are absolutely valid- and I want to take the weight of these worries off of your shoulders so that you are not going through this fragile time alone.
I truly believe that a quick and successful recovery after birth is possible with the right support and knowledge. I work with women wanting to have all different kinds of birth experiences- home births, at birth centers, or at the hospital. My passion for helping women is what led me to this journey with SunFlower Births.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
So far it’s been a smooth road, after finding the balance between work and family time.
