Understanding The Role of a Monitrice

Is this right for me?

For the woman who desires to birth in her own power, in the safety and sacredness of home, with as little disturbance as possible—yet still longs for a steady, skilled, and attuned presence by her side.

Monitrice care bridges the gap between traditional doula support and more hands-on pregnancy guidance, offering mothers deeper awareness, reassurance, and connection throughout pregnancy, birth, and beyond. A monitrice honors the mother as the ultimate authority in her care while providing knowledgeable, grounded support that complements undisturbed birth.


🌸 Who Monitrice Care Is For

Monitrice support is especially aligned with women who:

  • Are choosing an undisturbed physiological homebirth

  • Prefer fewer clinical assessments and less interruption during pregnancy and labor

  • Desire a quiet, protected birth space rooted in instinct, intuition, and trust

  • Want a knowledgeable, watchful presence nearby—without stepping into medical management

  • Seek emotional, spiritual, and practical grounding through each stage of the journey

  • Value autonomy and informed decision-making while still appreciating experienced guidance

You do not want to be “managed.” You want to be supported, witnessed, and strengthened—while maintaining full authority over your birth.

Monitrice care meets you there.


🌿 What a Monitrice Can Offer

While not medical care, a monitrice provides deeper, more hands-on guidance than a traditional doula, but not at the level of clinical midwifery management. This can include supportive observations, non-clinical assessments, and practical insights such as:

Pregnancy Support

  • Guidance in understanding fetal heart tones

  • Fundal measurements to help track your baby’s growth

  • Maternal vital observations for reassurance and awareness

  • Support in understanding prenatal testing options

  • Education on physiological pregnancy and birth

  • Emotional and spiritual grounding as your pregnancy and birth unfolds

  • Tools and recommendations for home-based mother-led support

Labor Support

  • Comfort measures: positioning, movement, counter pressure, breathwork, hydrotherapy, grounding techniques

  • Observations of labor patterns to help families understand what may be unfolding

  • Support in maintaining an undisturbed, instinctive birth environment

  • A watchful, calm presence to anchor the birth space

  • Guidance without interference; reassurance without control

A monitrice walks beside you, attuned and attentive, without stepping into diagnosis, decision-making, or medical authority.


🌙 Extended Postpartum Care (Up to 4 Months)

Birth doesn’t end when your baby arrives—and neither does support.

The postpartum season is sacred and intensely transformative. Monitrice care naturally extends into the months following birth, offering the continuity today’s mothers desperately need.

Nourishment & Recovery

  • Gentle guidance rooted in traditional postpartum wisdom

  • Support in creating warming, nourishing meals and routines

  • Insight into herbal and homeopathic options for healing

Breastfeeding Support

  • Help with latch, positioning, and early feeding rhythms

  • Reassurance through common challenges

  • Understanding newborn cues and behavior

Emotional & Spiritual Care

  • Space to process your birth story

  • Prayer and soul-centered support

  • Guidance through the identity shifts of new motherhood

Early Parenting & Infant Care

  • Newborn care guidance and daily rhythms

  • Gentle sleep and soothing insight

  • Baby-led weaning guidance when age-appropriate

  • Support in creating a peaceful home environment that honors mother and baby

Monitrice postpartum care honors your need to be held, nourished, and supported—not rushed or overlooked. It is the way women were always meant to be cared for.
