Support for mothers (and fathers!)

A doula provides informational, physical, and emotional support to an expecting family from prenatal to postpartum. As a certified Labor Doula, I will walk alongside you during your pregnancy and empower you to have a peaceful birth experience. I will help facilitate clear communication between you and your care providers, because you deserve to have informed consent in every birth decision.

There is a common misconception that only women desiring a natural birth need a doula. All women deserve to have a doula, whatever kind of birth they choose to have. Whether it be natural childbirth, an epidural, or a cesarean, every woman should feel supported and empowered in her birth choices. Nothing can replace the constant, woman-to-woman support of having a doula at your birth. Doulas come alongside Dad as well, helping him support his partner through her birth experience. Dads will appreciate the expertise and knowledge that a doula offers when they feel a little bit out of their element.

A doula does not:
-> provide medical services
-> speak on behalf of you or your partner
-> make decisions for you
-> project beliefs or opinions onto you
