Birth Doula

Please Note :

I am currently not taking any new Birth Doula clients, but I am still available for Postpartum clients. For new births I am partnering with Harbor of Hope Birth Services. For more information please CLICK HERE
"Doula" – This Greek word has come to refer to “a woman experienced in childbirth who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to the mother before, during, and just after childbirth” (Klaus, Kennell, and Klaus: The Doula Book).​
Thank you for considering me as your doula. It is a privilege each time I am asked to be part of the miracle of birth, or invited into your home postpartum. In my experience and research, I have found two major keys to a successful birth – education and a supportive birthing team.  I want you and your partner to feel empowered and supported to make the decisions that are right for you and your unique birth. I understand that birth is a key life experience that the parents will remember all of their lives. I provide emotional support, physical comfort measures, an objective viewpoint, and assistance in helping the mother or couple make informed decisions. ​I perceive my role as one who nurtures and protects the woman’s memory of her birth experience.​

I also assist with your breastfeeding education if needed, and ensure the mother is fed, well hydrated and comfortable.
