Birth Doula
Why should you hire a doula?
As your doula, I am there before, during, and immediately after your labor and delivery to help you answer any questions you may have and support you in any way possible. From helping you with comfort techniques to helping your partner better understand how they can assist you and help you get the birth that you desire. I do not replace your existing support system, rather I supplement my presence when needed so everyone can focus on encouraging and supporting the labor woman. A doula also facilitates communication between the laboring woman, her partner, and clinical care providers. Check out here to learn more about what a doula is and how they help.
I do not make decisions for you or perform medical procedures.

What is a Postpartum Doula?
A postpartum doula can help make the transition into parenthood a more smooth transition. First time mothers, families with siblings and/or multiples, or women recovering from a cesarean section can all benefit from the helping hand, information, and support that a postpartum doula can offer. Even if you will be having relatives or family friends visiting in the weeks following the arrival of your child, you can still benefit from your doula. Even though they have good intentions, sometimes conflicting advice from well meaning friends and family can leave new parents confused and not sure of the decisions they have to make. Postpartum doulas are trained in the latest research and can provide the best and latest resources needed for families to answer questions in a way that will help support the families needs. Most are also trained in breastfeeding support to help you gain the confidence and support needed to establish breastfeeding.
What I offer as your postpartum doula:
Please contact me to set up an appointment or ask any questions. Prices are currently negotiable until I fully certify.
I will never turn a family away due to financial struggles. Sliding scales and bartering are always welcome!
