Hi! I’m Angelia, a birth worker of six years, documentary photographer and owner of bending willow birth. I am deeply passionate about honoring and preserving undisturbed instinctual birth. That the process of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are times of transformation where women deserve to be held and honored. That the doulas purpose is to be with women as they embrace such a meaningful transition and have the autonomous birth they desire. That through documentary photography we can preserve these beautiful moments motherhood holds.

We believe that birth is a sacred and transformative experience. That pregnancy is a time when women deserve to be honored and held through intentional support. Our birth doula support offering is meaningfully created to love and serve women along their journey to motherhood. Like pregnancy and birth, postpartum is a transition that should be full of warmth, love and meaningful support. Although we are experienced and knowledgeable in all things newborn, we focus on holding mother’s through deeply nourishing practices that honor the process of healing and recovery. We offer birth and postpartum doula support, documentary photography, placenta encapsulation, childbirth education, and postpartum belly binding
