Birth DOULA
congratulations on your pregnancy!
This time of transition is filled with a range of emotions, from joy and excitement to anxiety and worry. As a doula, I deeply understand and respect each person's unique journey to motherhood. I believe that the guidance and support of a doula during your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum can help you navigate this journey with greater ease and confidence.
My role as a doula is to help you have a positive, empowered experience. I am here to ensure you feel heard and supported throughout the entire process, from prenatal appointments and childbirth education to postpartum care. Every step of the way, I provide compassionate and informed support to help you make the best decisions for yourself and your baby.
With my support, you will feel empowered to make informed decisions about your care. I'll be there to offer guidance and reassurance whenever you need it. Together, we can create a pregnancy and childbirth experience that is not only positive but also transformative. Let's work together to ensure this special time is filled with confidence, support, and empowerment.
What is a dOULA?
A doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to a mother before, during, and shortly after childbirth to help create the most healthy, satisfying, and transformative birth experience possible.
A doula is not a midwife and does not provide medical care.

Imagine this...

You're sitting down with your partner, eagerly anticipating the arrival of your baby. You've read all the books, attended the classes, and create a birth plan that feels just right for you.
​
However, as your due date approaches, you begin to feel overwhelmed and uncertain. You start to question your decisions and wonder if you're truly ready for what's to come.
​
That's where I come in as your doula. I've seen firsthand how every birth is unique. There is no one "right" way to bring your baby into the world. What matters most is that you feel respected, heard, and in control of your journey.
​
As your doula, I'll be there every step of the way, providing emotional support and helping you make informed decisions that align with your values and desires. And if unexpected challenges arise, I'll be there to help you adapt and find the best path forward.
​
Whether you choose a home birth, a hospital birth, or something in between, I'm here to center your voice and create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your options and make choices that feel right for you.
​
Together, we can work to create a positive and empowering birth experience that honors your unique journey and helps you bring your precious little one into the world. Let's make this moment unforgettable for all the right reasons.

As your doula, I am dedicated to providing unwavering support and guidance throughout your labor and birth journey. My primary goal is to ensure you have a positive and meaningful experience, where both you and your partner feel supported and empowered at every stage.
​
I work exclusively for you, accompanying you every step of the way to help you achieve the birth experience you envision. Regardless of how your labor and birth unfold, I offer continuous, unwavering, and nonjudgmental support. My commitment is to be there for you, adapting to your needs and providing steadfast encouragement, no matter what path your journey takes. With my support, you can navigate this transformative time with confidence and assurance, knowing you have a dedicated ally by your side.


Four pillars of doula support

PHYSICAL SUPPORT
During your labor, you will receive expert guidance on positions for comfort and labor progression, along with hands-on support techniques such as comforting touch, counter pressure, breathing techniques, essential oil application, and water therapy. These "doula magic" techniques are designed ease discomfort and make labor more manageable.
Additionally, my expertise in positioning can be particularly beneficial for addressing malpositioned babies. By using my tools for positioning and comfort, you can help encourage the baby to move down through the pelvis and into your arms, making the birthing process smoother and less painful.

emotional SUPPORT
My role is to ensure you feel supported, empowered, and respected throughout your birth journey, honoring your unique wishes every step of the way. Whether your birth is unmedicated or medically complex, I am here to provide the additional nurturing and connection you need as you bring your baby earthside.
As your guide during this emotional experience, I will create a calming space where you can relax and trust in your body and your baby. With my support, you can embrace your birthing experience with confidence and serenity, knowing you have a dedicated ally by your side.

partner
SUPPORT
Bringing a new life into the world is a beautiful experience that can be shared with your birth partner, whether it's your partner, a family member, or a close friend. Having someone by your side during labor and birth can be incredibly comforting and empowering.
While your birth partner is there to support you, they also need support to be fully present and effective. That's where I come in as your doula. I provide your birth partner with the tools and techniques to be as involved as desired, helping them become an active participant in the experience.

info & advocacy
Being informed and confident in your options is essential when making decisions about your birth experience. As a trained doula, I bring evidence-based resources and information to empower you in aligning your choices with your values and desires. Whether you have questions or concerns before or during labor, I'm here to provide the support and information you need to make informed decisions.
With this knowledge, you'll feel empowered to use your voice and advocate for the best possible care for both you and your baby. Together, we can ensure that you navigate your birth journey with clarity and confidence, making choices that resonate deeply with your wishes and priorities.
