About me
I am a birth and postpartum doula that believes every birthing person should feel informed, safe and cared for. Birth is not an illness and should be treated like the physiological process that is. I also believe that there is no right way to birth! I am supportive of what ever birth journey my client wants to take. I’ll be there to provide information, emotional support and physical presence.

Service introduction
I offer labor and birth doula services as well as postpartum support. Services can be bundled! Each birth client will receive two prenatal appointments where we talk through birth preferences, birth knowledge, advocacy, postpartum expectations and newborn care. I’ll be on call starting at three weeks before your estimated due date. All services will be provided with a loving and empathetic view point. I’ll help you to know what’s best for you and how to facilitate it.

Frequently asked questions
Will a doula replace my partner?
Never! In fact, I will also be supporting your partner. I focus on the entire family ensuring everyone has their needs met. I will teach birth partners techniques to be an active participant in the birth and postpartum spaces.
