WAYS TO WORK WITH ME
As a birth doula, my job is to understand the physiology of birth and be tuned in to the emotional needs of a woman in labor. I provide physical, emotional, and informational support to women and their partners throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum.
Benefits of having a doula include reduced stress, a birth plan advocate, non-judgmental emotional availability, and improved outcomes.
Doulas are well-versed in childbirth education and can provide valuable information and resources to help expectant parents make informed decisions. Whether discussing pain relief options, birthing positions, or newborn care, doulas empower families with knowledge and confidence.
Perfect if you want personalized birth preparation from a local expert on all things pregnancy, labor, & postpartum - without in-person birth doula support.
Not everyone wants or needs a doula in the room with them during labor. But you may still want encouragement and education throughout your pregnancy, virtually during labor, and to prepare for postpartum.
My role as a birth coach is to provide evidence-based information, emotional support, practical tools, and personalized guidance so that you and your partner can approach birth feeling confident, supported, and empowered to make your own decisions every step of the way.
Whether you are planning an unmedicated birth or planning to get an epidural, these sessions provide a supportive space for women & their partners to learn how to incorporate movement & comfort measures into labor to improve comfort & help labor progress. Personalized attention to your desired areas of growth, flexible scheduling and location, comfort and privacy, and focus on your goals & inclusion of your partner.
