someone to help clean and refresh the space

someone to be the water bearer for the birth pool

someone to lovingly remind you to pee

someone to feed you and hydrate you

sisters to pray

to tend to the fire

have a fresh lens, witness for debriefing and understanding (the hows and whys) afterwards

someone to protect the cave

a witness

compassion

love

coregulation

someone to sit with you in the intensity, or pain, or ecstatic beauty

another point of awareness

practical support
