A doula will make a difference

in the experiences and

memories you have about

childbirth. These memories will

last you a lifetime.

As a birth doula it has been my privilege and a joy to accompany people on their journey through pregnancy to parenthood. We have built memories together. My training as a childbirth educator, birth doula, postpartum doula and traditional midwife enhance the knowledge and skills I bring to each one of my clients.

My goal as a doula is to help expectant parents prepare for labor, childbirth, and life with a newborn. I want you to know the range of choices you have for your birth and postpartum experiences.  I want you to know how to find evidence-based research and information for the choices you make. I provide emotional support and physical comfort individualized for each of my clients. As an experienced doula I know how to navigate birth providers, hospitals and out of hospital settings with expectant parents.

The birth of your child deserves nothing less than the best for your child and for you!

Whether this is your first pregnancy or your last, my goal  is to help you, your partner and your baby have a satisfying childbirth and postpartum experience, the best beginnings for you and your new family, and fond memories for all!
