It was a way to normalise what they were going through. Working as a doula – and as a business owner owning a doula collective, I noticed that all the families using the services had such a need for storytelling, and more spaces to come together and tell stories. Meanwhile, the rates of postpartum depression and anxiety are rising. Now people are relying on their phones for information, and not leaning into the community so much. Hundreds of years ago, we would rely on our village or families for support: that was all we had. It came from identifying a collective need for more real stories about what postpartum means for different people. I put my music aside, and I jumped all the way. There needed to be more of us, and there weren’t. I felt like, wow, having a doula would have been instrumental in my birth – and I looked into it more and felt like the role was vital in the labour process. Eventually I had someone, but she was more of a medical assistant, not really a doula. ![]() ![]() At the time, when I was looking for one for myself, there were so few – which is funny because now they’re everywhere. I became a doula six months after the birth of my first son, Cassius, in 2009. What made you choose to do that, in the first place? Your work in the pregnancy and birth space began when you retrained as a doula. ![]() In an exclusive conversation with Glamour, Domino shares her musician-turned-doula career journey, why she’s passionate about the power of sharing as a means of healing, negotiating the tension between early parenthood and career pressure and, finally, what it’s like to be married to television’s most well-known psychopath.Ĭongratulations on the publication of Life After Birth. ![]()
