Throughout your pregnancy, it’s natural to look for guidance. You want help figuring out all the changes in your body while getting instructions on how to prepare for labor. When Kendra Potter started Sistermoon Wellness, she wanted to help women find their answers on this journey. As a Missoula birth photographer, I have gotten the chance to connect with countless parents who have fallen in love with the services offered by this practice. Here’s what you can expect when you use Sistermoon Wellness for your birth.
The idea for Sistermoon Wellness was born as Kendra walked through the streets of Missoula with her toddler daughter after the rain had cleared. As the dusk began to settle, her daughter pointed to the sky and exclaimed, “Look, Mama, the Sister Moon!” It was her first full sentence, and Kendra thought about it again and again. She sees her work as parallel to the moon, reflecting the Light of those surrounding her. With all of her services, she works to empower you. She offers yoga classes, doula services, reiki work, and sacred ceremonies for every occasion in life.
As a birth photographer, I work a lot with clients who have used Sistermoon Wellness as their birth doula. Kendra is DONA-trained and knows how to help you as you prepare for your delivery. She never discriminates against birth choice and will work with you to plan the childbirth that is right for your family. Before your due date, she will build up a relationship with both you and your partner. Once labor begins, you will call on her, and she will be right by your side. She offers non-medical comfort as well as verbal support. She will be your calm and your reassurance as you trust your body to do its work.
Once your baby has arrived, she will guide you through breastfeeding before going home to chronicle the story of your delivery. She will then have a follow-up appointment around 48 hours following your birth.
While her doula services are amazing, I think you are going to adore the Sistermoon Wellness yoga sessions! She offers pretty phenomenal prenatal yoga classes designed to prepare your body for labor. You can book her lessons either in-person or online through Zoom.
Kendra takes a special love for conducting ceremonies to honor the most sacred moments in life. She has worked with individuals on rituals for weddings, mothers preparing for birth, new and full moons, and funerals. She treats her work with reverence and will personalize the ceremonies to your needs.
With Sistermoon Wellness, you will feel ready for your delivery, thanks to Kendra’s guidance. If you think she might be the birth worker for you, schedule your consultation so you can see for yourself!
