Before Birth
We'll prepare for birth together, but I'll also spend time learning you.
We'll talk about your hopes, fears, comfort preferences, how you make decisions, how you want your partner involved, and what helps you feel safe when things become intense.
We'll practice positions, comfort measures and hands-on support so we're not meeting each other for the first time emotionally when labor begins.
During Birth
When labor begins, I come prepared to support the woman I've already gotten to know.
That may mean movement, positioning, counterpressure, breathing, reassurance, helping your partner support you, creating a calmer environment, helping you understand your options or simply knowing when you need quiet.
I stay present as your birth unfolds, adapting with you along the way.
After Birth
After your baby arrives, I don't immediately disappear.
I'll stay while you settle into those first moments together and support you as you begin feeding and recovering.
We'll reconnect postpartum to talk about your birth, how you're feeling, and those little moments from the day that deserve to be remembered.
Find the Support That's Right for You
Birth Support for Every Family
Every family's journey is unique. Whether you're planning your first birth or your fourth, you deserve support that's fully and completely yours.
Access to a doula shouldn't depend on your bank account. I offer a sliding scale and reduced-rate spots for families who need it , no application, no hoops. Just bring it up when we talk. Every family deserves informed, empowered support bringing their baby earthside, and I mean that.
Not sure which package is right for you? That's exactly what the free consult is for, no pressure, just a conversation.
