What does a doula do, and how can you support my birth experience?

A doula provides emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and after childbirth. I help create a calm environment, offer natural pain management techniques, and ensure you're informed and empowered in your choices.

What is your Philosophy?

My approach to birth is grounded in the belief that every woman deserves to feel empowered, informed, and supported throughout her pregnancy and birthing journey. I view birth as a deeply personal experience that should honor a woman’s body, intuition, and unique desires. By combining my training as an energy healer with my knowledge of natural maternal care, I provide a holistic approach that nurtures the body, mind, and spirit.

I support my clients by offering evidence-based information and a range of birthing options, empowering them to make informed decisions that align with their personal preferences. Whether it’s preparing for an unmedicated birth, exploring natural pain relief techniques, or discussing the benefits of skin-to-skin contact, I ensure my clients have access to the resources they need. 

I believe in creating a calm and nurturing environment where you feel confident to express your wishes, ask questions, and make choices that reflect your values. Together, we’ll create a personalized birth plan that supports your vision, whether it’s a natural vaginal birth or something else that aligns with your goals.

What services do you offer?

As a full spectrum doula, I offer prenatal visits, continuous labor support, and postpartum care tailored to your family's needs.

Can you help me create a personalized birth plan?

Absolutely! We’ll work together to develop a birth plan that aligns with your values and desires, ensuring you feel confident and prepared for the birth experience you envision.

When should I hire a doula?

It’s best to hire a doula as early as possible, ideally during the second trimester, but I'm happy to work with families at any stage of pregnancy. This gives us time to build a strong relationship, discuss your birth preferences, and prepare you for your ideal birth experience.

Do you work with all birth preferences?

Yes! I support all birth choices including home births, birth center births, hospital births, medicated and unmedicated births, and cesarean births.

What are the benefits of having an unmedicated natural birth?

An unmedicated birth allows you to be fully present, experience your body’s natural rhythms, and recover more quickly. I’ll support you with techniques to manage discomfort and guide you through the process in a way that honors your goals.

How do you work with my partner during labor and delivery?

I work alongside your partner to create a cohesive support team. My goal is to enhance the support they provide by offering guidance, reassurance, advocacy, and techniques to ensure they feel confident and involved throughout the process.

What if my birth plan changes during labor?

Birth can be unpredictable, but I’m here to support you no matter what. If your plan changes, we’ll adapt and focus on making sure you feel informed, empowered, and safe every step of the way, while honoring your needs and wishes.
