like the willow strong and unbreaking, women must also transform during childbirth and surrender to each surge as they birth both themselves and their child.
“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works. My soul knows it very well.” Psalm 139:13-14

I’m so glad you’re here!
Hi! I’m Angelia, a doula of seven 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 surrounded in gentle guidance and love. That the doula and midwife's role 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 the beautiful moments motherhood holds.
