About me
Embedded Files
My name is Cheyanne Petty! I've always had an interest in birth but it wasn't until took an anatomy and physiology course in highschool that I considered a career in birthwork. Learning the details necessary for pregnancy and birth to even occur has greatly deepened my faith. Right out of high school I was blessed with the opportunity to shadow a midwife at a homebirth and the experience set in stone the desire to be a part of supporting women in birth. I am currently BBC Birth Doula Certified and I strive to continue my education in other areas of birth work. In my free time I enjoy reading, taking care of my (many) plants and animals, baking, and hanging out with my built in besties (siblings)!
My why
My why
After hearing so many first hand stories from so many different women entailing traumatic births, lack of informed consent and insensitive treatment, I knew that there must be a better way to birth. How a woman is treated throughout the vulnerable seasons of pregnancy, birth and postpartum will impact her for the rest of her life. Empathy, respect and access to evidence based information are all fundamental rights that women deserve, however, the lack of it is devastatingly too common. My mission is to help women look back on their births as empowering and joyous.
How I want to contribute
Throughout history, women have been supported by each other through everyday life and huge milestones. Today the lack of community and support in birth is evident and by becoming involved in birth work I hope to help provide part of the community based support system that women were created to seek out and need. By working as your doula I hope to positively contribute to your birth by supporting your decisions, celebrating the growth of your family, and holding you through what may be the most life altering moment of your life.
For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made, marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.
Psalms 139:13-14
