ABOUTKristineSchofmann
Birth Fascilitator - Educator - Advocate
I had my doula awakening September 2022, where I experienced my own liberation through education and a community of heart centered women. Being surrounded by women who were heroes and hearing her-stories of their birth, I felt a fire in my belly that needed to be shared with others and so I birthed Bhava Doula.
Society hasn’t made it easy for women to feel vibrant and empowered during pregnancy, working with me brings the heart back into birth, we will talk about the things that really matter, the personal part that hospitals don’t have time for, the taboo topics that surface during pregnancy.
It looks like being treated more than a number through each step of the journey– before, during, and after the pregnancy.
I’m passionate about creating a safe space for women, to share and process her deepest fears. I desire to be a place of complete acceptance that allows her to tap into her sensual, primal, physical and spiritual energy in labor. I combine the latest research with the humane touch every woman should be entitled to.
I passionately believe that education empowers us and being seen and supported allows us to blossom.
My HERstory
I was born in Thailand and spent the first years of my life in freedom sailing the seas, we lived a nomadic life, the sea was the womb that nurtured me.
In my 20’s, my transformational journey began when I moved from South Africa to Los Angeles. Through a long process, I discovered that the true meaning of freedom is not dependent on your circumstances but rather your state of mind. For the first time, I was in awe of the wild life source that moves me from within.
Finally, I leaned into my identity as being of service to others, knowing that I was intrinsically connected to all things. What a joy to simply exist!
