Let’s welcome Madison Brewer to the podcast as we get to know a little bit about her and her testimony on what the Lord has done in and through her life in the last two years..

Madison telling her story/Dialogue
Madison explains that she wanted to seek the lord’s face in what he wanted to do with her life when 2020 rolled around. And she knew that by doing this and praying big prayers, she would find her true identity in Christ.
She is obsessed with birth and had a friend ask her to photograph her birth and it was like a “holy hush.” While photographing, she watched the home birth and a team of doula’s and sweet people, and suddenly had the lord speak to her and she knew that through the birth, he was stirring something in her Heart. God later revealed that her journey was to be a doula and birth coach.
She decided to get certified and had her first birth as a doula and birth coach in February of 2022. The lord made it very evident through that experience that she was doing exactly what he wanted her to be.
What she does as a Birth Coach and what the process looks like
A doula does not replace an OB and is not a medical professional. In simple terms, a doula is there for support and coaching through the entire birth experience.
Madison lays the foundation by saying that if a mama is considering a birth coach, she would reach out to one or many and do a consultation to make sure they mesh well together.
In the process after knowing they mesh well together, the doula is there to educate and support the mom until the day of labor.
While in labor, a doula will physically, mentally, and emotionally support the mom and be as hands on or hands off as she needs to be. The goal is for the doula to be an asset to both mom and dad.
As a christian doula, Madison believes fully in being in a constant state of prayer during her births.
She wants to support women in postpartum as well.
Madison’s main goal
As a doula, She wants to educate and support women and help them to have more control, all while loving and praying for them and helping them to have the most beautiful experience possible.
Madison’s one piece of advice that she wants to leave people with
“we need to be in God’s word. It gives us faith, wisdom, and knowledge.”
She believes that, as women, we need to be engulfed in the word to have the wisdom that we need In every area of life.
