This work is deeply personal to me—it’s not just about information or checklists. It’s about supporting you as a whole person, offering steady guidance, and holding space for both the questions and the emotions that come with this season of life. Whether this is your first baby or not, whether you're feeling excited, overwhelmed, or somewhere in between—you're in the right place. My goal is to help you feel confident, informed, and truly supported, every step of the way. Together, we’ll explore your options, prepare for birth in a way that feels aligned with your values, and create a calm, empowering experience for you and your baby. Welcome—you’re not alone here.

I offer the following services: - Birth planning combined with warm, caring, and calm delivery doula services to help you feel confident, informed, and truly supported, every step of the way. Think of a doula as your personal guide for this major life event. - Personalized childbirth education helps you cut through the noise, focus on facts, and actually understand your options—not just what worked for someone else. Classes like Birth with Babs give you tools to make informed, confident decisions about your birth experience, not just react in the moment.
Working with Barbara was great! She was a back up doula and when our original doula contracted COVID, Barbara stepped in without a hitch. She provided great guidance via text while I was in early labor at home. Then, when I was in active labor at the birth center, she immediately jumped in providing physical and emotional support. It was also super special that she made a poem of my birth story that she shared postpartum. It gave a record of events that I was in no shape to capture in the moment, and I’ll likely read that poem to my daughter as she grows up <3 My husband especially found Barbara helpful as it allowed him to experience the birth for himself rather than trying to coach me. We loved Barbara and would recommend her to anyone.

It was wonderful having Barbara as my doula. She was knowledgeable, and made the process so much easier. I can’t recommend her enough!!
