Birth is an experience you will remember all of your life. As a mother of four, and DONA trained doula, I understand the physiology of birth as well as the emotional needs of a person in labor. I will assist you and your partner in preparing for and carrying out your plans for birth as I stay with you throughout your entire labor. I will provide emotional support, physical comfort measures and an objective viewpoint, as well as help you get the information you need to make informed decisions. My role as your birth doula is to nurture you and your partner and to protect the memory of your birth.

As your postpartum doula, I support you as you develop a genuine sense of self-confidence and grow your new parental instincts. With warmth and flexibility, and without judgment, I seek to understand and work with each individual family to help implement your desired parental values, as well as empower you with strategies and skills that will boost your ability to bond with your baby. Doulas do not treat postpartum depression, however, I am trained to recognize early signs and symptoms and can help alleviate postpartum depression by nurturing you, creating a safe space for you emotionally, and ensuring you are eating well and getting restorative sleep.

Just as birth brings options for choices, so does the path to conception. No matter where you are on your path to grow your family, as your fertility doula, I will meet you there with empathy and understanding. I will support you on your conception journey by providing evidence-based information as well as holistic resources. I will be with you every step of the way, helping you evaluate your options and empowering you to tune into your intuition as you make choices. My mind/body/soul approach complements any treatments you may receive and also provides you with tools that can help you navigate the experience with less stress.

I am trained and prepared to give you support in any trimester and any outcome. I provide you and your family with whole-hearted support during the birth of your miscarried or stillborn baby and in the event of neonatal death. I will support you through birth at any stage and birth outcome because I believe that all births matter and all babies deserve to be acknowledged. I will hold you in a nonjudgemental space filled purely with love and support, so that you can love, nurture and heal yourself.
