Doula.  It’s a funny word.  As an expectant parent, you may have wondered what, exactly, a doula does? And more importantly, how can she assist you toward a healthy birth that you remember with pride, awe and joy.

As  a women who has served many women and their families during their pregnancy, birth and postpartum periods, I know from experience that the birth of a child is a sacred and life-changing event. 

I have had the honor of serving at hundreds of births, supporting women and their families through - quite literally - through thousands of hours of powerful labor.

From the changes in your body, to the changes in your family’s dynamic, pregnancy, birth and the first few months of parenting are powerful transformative experiences for mother, baby, and partner -- the entire family in fact. During this time of transition and change, having access to knowledgeable and nurturing support make a difference.

Birth brings both joy and challenge – a doula provides encouragement and strength for the journey.

I and the partner doula I work with are trained to provide physical and emotional support  to before, during and after the birth of your baby.  Our goal is a birth that goes the way you want it to, a birth in which you make the right choices for you. 

I look forward to hearing from you.
