Rosalyn Skelton, SBD

Certified Birth & Bereavement Doula® serving Santa Clarita and Antelope Valley, California

SBD Doulas® are accessible to you through our open group or through our CONNECT app.

My name is Rosalyn Skelton and I am a DONA International certified professional birth doula, and a Stillbirthday Certified Birth & Bereavement Doula®. I completed my DONA birth doula training in January, 2012 and received my certification in May, 2013. In 2015, I completed an advanced training in birth and bereavement support through Stillbirthday. I am the owner of Pear Baby Doula, serve on the board of the Antelope Valley Birth Resource Network, and am the co-leader of the Antelope Valley Circle of Doulas Association of Southern California. I have a deep respect for childbirth and find great joy in supporting women and their families throughout pregnancy and labor. I support birth diversity through any outcome, in any trimester. I bring a love of academia to my birth work and believe in making informed choices from evidence-based research. I provide my services to women in the Antelope Valley, Santa Clarita Valley, and surrounding areas. I attend births in all settings: home birth, birth center, or hospital.

In my life outside of babies and birth, I can often be found exploring the outdoors with my family or curled up with a good book. I am the mother of an angel baby, born in 2012 and forever in my heart. My second child was born at home in 2014, and fills my life with joy, laughter, and love.

BIRTH & BEREAVEMENT QUOTES

« ‹ 14 of 16 › »

She was a genius of sadness, immersing herself in it, separating its numerous strands, appreciating its subtle nuances. She was a prism through which sadness could be divided into its infinite spectrum.

— Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything Is Illuminated

No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.

— C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

I am strong.

— January, founder of Birth Without Fear

When someone you love dies, and you’re not expecting it, you don’t lose her all at once; you lose her in pieces over a long time—the way the mail stops coming, and her scent fades from the pillows and even from the clothes in her closet and drawers. Gradually, you accumulate the parts of her that are gone. Just when the day comes—when there’s a particular missing part that overwhelms you with the feeling that she’s gone, forever—there comes another day, and another specifically missing part.

— John Irving, A Prayer for Owen Meany

They say time heals all wounds, but that presumes the source of the grief is finite.

— Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince
