I'm Xerces (Air-sis) Lewis, your Emotional Empowerment Birth Doula

Bringing a child into the world is a profound experience. My mission is to support mothers in every stage of this journey, offering emotional and physical support that empowers you to trust your body and intuition. As your Emotional Empowerment Doula, I’m here to guide you in creating the birth experience you desire, while nurturing a deep connection to your body, baby, and partner.

What I Offer

Every woman deserves to feel deeply supported, connected to her body, and emotionally empowered as she embarks on her birth and postpartum journey.

As your Emotional Empowerment Doula, I bring together years of experience in emotional embodiment and somatic practices to provide you with:

  • Birth Preparation: Thoughtful guidance and support to help you feel prepared, emotionally and physically connected to your baby and your body, and informed for your birth choices.

  • Emotional Alignment: Empowering practices to connect with your intuition, manage emotional stress, and move through any fears or doubts with grace and peace.

  • Postpartum Care: Support through the transition of motherhood, honoring your emotional needs, and cultivating nurturing practices that restore balance, joy, and connection during postpartum.

Why Choose My Doula Services?

Emotional Empowerment

You deserve a space to feel safe, understood, and supported in your choices. My approach centers on helping you tap into your inner strength, intuition, and emotions, creating an empowering birth and postpartum experience.

Holistic Care for Body, Mind & Spirit

Whether you're planning for a natural birth, VBAC, or just need someone to help you navigate this transformative time, I’m here with a nurturing and grounded presence. Together, we will develop a plan that honors your needs, desires, and unique journey.

Tailored Support for You & Your Family

From prenatal education to emotional guidance during labor and postpartum, I work with you and your family to ensure that everyone feels supported. My services include personalized birth plans, partner involvement, and postpartum care designed to help you transition smoothly into motherhood.

Why Emotional Empowerment Matters
Birthing and becoming a mother is more than a physical journey—it is an emotional and spiritual transformation.

I work with mothers who want more than traditional doula support; they desire to feel safe, emotionally grounded, and fully embodied through this sacred time. My approach helps you:
 

  • Trust Your Body: Through somatic practices and emotional support, I help you reconnect with your body’s natural wisdom and your baby’s signals.
     

  • Navigate Your Emotions with Ease: Birth can bring forth a mix of emotions—joy, excitement, fear, and vulnerability. I offer you a space to explore and release these emotions so you feel calm and confident as you move forward.
     

  • Cultivate Peace and Presence: With mindfulness techniques and reflective empowerment, I guide you to release control and embrace a state of presence, making room for joy and connection with your baby and partner.

FAQ Section

What makes an emotional empowerment doula different from other doulas?

An emotional empowerment doula offers more than just physical support. I’m here to help you feel deeply connected to your emotions, your body, and your baby throughout your pregnancy, labor, and postpartum journey. My approach is rooted in emotional embodiment, which means I support you in tuning into your inner strength, addressing any emotional blocks, and creating a sense of peace and trust in your body’s wisdom. Together, we’ll cultivate a powerful, heart-centered mindset that allows you to feel empowered, calm, and in control, no matter what arises. I’m here to guide you through not only the physical aspects of birth but also the emotional and spiritual transformations that come with becoming a mother.

 

How do you support me emotionally during labor?

During labor, emotions can run high, and it’s essential to feel held in a safe, nurturing space. I’ll be by your side, offering calming techniques, breathwork, and emotional support to help you stay grounded and connected to your body’s natural rhythms. When fear, doubt, or overwhelm arise, I’ll gently guide you back to your strength, reminding you of the power you hold within. Whether through affirmations, soothing touch, or simply being a steady, loving presence, I’ll support you in staying present and aligned with your vision for your birth. My role is to ensure you feel heard, understood, and empowered every step of the way.

 

Can I work with you if I’m planning a hospital birth or VBAC?

Absolutely! My emotional empowerment doula services are designed to support you no matter where or how you choose to give birth. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, home birth, or preparing for a VBAC, I will be there to help you feel emotionally grounded and empowered throughout the process. With a VBAC, there can be unique emotional layers to navigate, and I’m here to support you in releasing any fears and cultivating confidence in your body’s ability to birth naturally. Together, we’ll create a birth plan that honors your desires, and I’ll be your advocate, ensuring that you feel empowered in every decision.
