I offer birth & postpartum doula services. I also offer private childbirth classes, baby care, postpartum & infant massage classes.
Research has shown that having a doula can lead to shorter labor, fewer medical interventions, and a more positive birthing experience overall. I provide emotional and physical support throughout the entire labor and delivery process.
Absolutely not, I do not believe there is one right way to have a baby! I support all types of births including unmedicated, medicated, cesarean, and VBAC. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment for all birthing parents so they can make informed decisions throughout their labor & birth.
It's truly a TEAM approach! I have been supporting families for 22 years and my goal is not only to support you during labor but to support your partner as well. Partners often feel overwhelmed and everything they learned in classes is just swirling in their mind once labor starts. I come in with so many tools and suggestions of ways they can support you. I have heard time and time again from partners how my presence helped them focus and brought a great sense of relief. My goal is never to replace your partner, rather help guide & include them in this very special process. I also will remind them to eat/drink/rest so they can truly support you.
I accept payment from FSA or HSA accounts for birth & postpartum services. I will provide you with a detailed receipt if you use those funds to pay for services. I also offer payment plans.
No, I currently do not offer overnight postparrum doula support.
Yes! I highly recommend the Body Ready Method Program. They have amazing programs to help you prepare for labor & birth as well as a program for postpartum healing. I am a Certified Body Ready Method Professional so please contact me before you purchase a program and I can provide you with a coupon cope for a small discount.

My very first birth doula certification was through ALACE which is now ToLabor. I hold current Birth & Postpartum doula as well as Childbirth Educator certifications through CAPPA (Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association). I hold a current Infant Massage Instructor certification through WINC (World Institute for Nurturing Communication). I am also a Certified Body Ready Method Professional.
I am always current with all of my continuing education requirements for all certifications!
