As a new mom of twins and a trained doula, I was determined to explore natural ways to bring my babies into the world. With full-term twins and one baby experiencing growth challenges, I turned to gentle, vegan-friendly methods—like red raspberry leaf tea, dates, meditation, and movement—to help my body go into labor. In this post, I’m sharing what worked for me, along with practical tips and insights for other moms hoping for a natural induction experience.

When I was in labor with twins, doctors tried to push me into an unnecessary C-section. I was in pain, terrified, and ready to give up—until my doula walked in. Her presence, her words, and her advocacy changed everything. This is the story of how my doula helped me find my voice, avoid surgery, and have the natural birth I dreamed of—and why every mother deserves this kind of support.
