Birth Doula

Supporting mothers and families through the miracle of birth is an honor and a joy. My support is always holistic, mother-led, and family centered. As your doula, I offer as many prenatal and childbirth education sessions as are needed to build and support your birth vision and plan, as well as at least one postpartum visit. My role during birth varies greatly depending on the needs and desires of each family, but here are some examples:

• • Creating a peaceful and safe atmosphere 

  • ​Herbal labor support

  • Massage and counter-pressure

  • Position changes and assistance

  • Hydration and sustenance 

  • Assistance navigating relationship with medical provider and advocating for birth plan during and after labor

  • Support understanding interventions and your options

  • Taking care of other children in or out of the birth space

  • Protecting the golden hour

  • Cleaning up after a home birth

  • Pain management techniques and / or devices

(ex: Hypnobirthing or TENS machine)

I will be on-call 24/7 to you from 36 weeks onward, or earlier if medically indicated.
