About me
I am a certified perinatal Doula who accepts Geisinger Medicaid and private pay. I specialize in birth planning, breast-feeding support, relaxation measures and teach Myles circuit. I offer both in person and virtual visits. Outside of my work, I am a missionary and a single mother of two older children. I have over 13 years of experience in birth-work and consider it a blessing to be able to support teenagers, women and babies. I also offer grief counseling for infant loss and abortion. I am currently accepting new clients in Lycoming County for deliveries at UPMC. I offer free consultations to new clients. Thank you for your interest!
