Service introduction

As a birth and postpartum doula, I offer comprehensive services designed to support families during one of life’s most transformative experiences. My approach includes personalized in-person sessions that prepare you for labor and delivery, along with monthly group prenatal sessions to foster community and shared knowledge. During labor, I provide continuous physical and emotional support to help you navigate the process with confidence and comfort. After the birth, I offer postpartum support to assist you in adjusting to life with your newborn, ensuring you feel supported and empowered every step of the way. My goal is to provide you with evidence-based practices that enhance your birthing experience and help you thrive as a new parent.
