Birth Doula: A birth doula is a trained professional who provides non-medical continuous physical, emotional, and educational support to a birthing person and their partner. This care throughout the birth process helps them achieve a healthy, memorable, and satisfying birth experience.
My Philosophy
I am passionate about providing non-judgmental, loving, physical, emotional, and informational support. This is your birth and I’d like to support and guide you as you welcome your new baby and grow as a family. My doula work takes place wherever you choose to give birth, at home, birth center, or in the hospital.
