About

Support for transformative times.

Transitions are fertile periods of life. Harnessing them is crucial to our growth. For both individuals and organizations, they offer a chance to re-envision who we want to be. To get in right relationship with our collective liberation by aligning our values with anti-oppressive movements.

Liberated Transitions exists to provide liberatory-minded support for people and organizations entering a time of transition.

For individuals, transitions can look like moving from one job to another, from nondisabled to disabled, or from childfree to with child—just to name a few.

For organizations, the transitions we are concerned with typically take forms like moving from exclusive and oppressive ways of working towards more equitable and inclusive ways of working—particularly when it comes to how disability and neurodiversity are handled—or restructuring after a crisis reveals an unsustainable work culture.  

Whether you’re coming to us as an individual or on behalf of an organization, the process is similar. You share your history and desired outcomes. You and your doula work together to identify the values you want to embody, vision what your change process will look like, and create the systems and structures that will encourage accountability to your stated values. Your doula follows up and provides support as you work with your new tools, through ongoing facilitation and education.

Our goal is always to honor where you’ve been, while guiding you towards where you’d like to be.

Book a consultation today to find out more about how we can support you or your organization in a change process.

F.A.Q

u

What is a transition doula?

We’re so glad you asked! Typically, birth/postpartum doulas assist parent and child through the birthing process and into the first year of life. End-of-life or death doulas assist the dying as they approach the end of life and cross over, and they can also support the family as they navigate the grieving process. Those are two huge and important transitions that form the bookends of our lives, and it’s vital that we have those resources available.

But what about the other moments of our lives where we find ourselves facing a whole new way of being? Marriage/partnership, divorce, disability, gender transition, losing a job—these are all times we might wish we had someone to help us find direction. Someone to listen, plan with us, guide us towards resources, and reassure us that we are capable of being who we need to be for this moment.

What birth and death doulas do for the beginning and end of life, transition doulas do for those and all the metamorphoses inbetween.
