Doula

“A Servant to Birthing Women”

As your doula I’m here to connect with you, to serve you, to hold space for you, and to support you in many other ways.

Some areas in which I can support you are:

  • The emotional work of preparing for labor

  • Your basic needs in labor

  • Instinctual coping

  • Concrete skills for birth partners

  • The comfort measure toolbox

  • Childbirth education

  • Offering suggestions

  • Exploring options

  • Communicating with the birth team

  • Active labor positions

  • Prenatal support

  • Emotional support

  • Encouraging connection to your baby

  • Calls/text leading up to birth

  • Postpartum care

  • Bringing sacredness into the pregnancy and birth experience

I am NOT a midwife. I am NOT a “medical provider.” I offer to witness, support, and honor this rite of passage in the ways you want with a grounded presence, and trust in your body.
