As your birth doula, I am on call and available 24/7 from 36 weeks until birth.

I offer guidance and resources to support a sense of feeling informed and empowered. It is my hope that your pregnancy is a time that you feel healthy, nourished, and held.

I offer two to three prenatal visits. During these visits we will get to know one another, can cover childbirth education, physiologic norms and work together to create a flexible birth plan to help you relax into your labor process. We will also discuss things like when-to-call your team and birth-site specifics, like preparedness for either hospital or out-of-hospital birth. I am available for any questions you have throughout our course of care.

During labor, I am fully present with you to provide emotional and physical support until the immediate postpartum. It is of utmost importance to me that you feel respected and informed throughout your process. I value shared decision making and can support your family during the sometimes winding road of labor. I have many positioning tools to support the biomechanics of baby’s journey through the pelvis.

Following prenatal, labor and birth support, I offer postpartum support. These visits are a way to have continued care as you arrive back into your life with your new baby. This care can include birth integration, body work and ritual, breast/feeding support, education and resources, physiologic newborn care, and all the household tasks to help you stay in bed, resting and soaking up this sacred window.
