Birth Doula

My duty as your Birth Doula is to provide a continuous source of encouragement, emotional and physical support, and comfort during labor regardless of decisions or birthing style. My main priority is the birthing person followed by everything else.

I am here to offer a soothing voice of experience which may include help with relaxation and breathing exercises, advice on labor positions, advocating for the experience you desire & translating those confusing medical terms.

My goal is to give you the keys you need to make informed decisions. I also support you in the following ways:

• Guide you through navigating changes throughout pregnancy and labor.

• Suggestion on providers

• Assist in finding evidence-based information on different topics regarding pregnancy, childbirth, newborn and postpartum.

• Unlimited support available 8 am-9 pm daily.

Postpartum Doula

I know exactly what it feels like to have just delivered a sweet new baby into the world and having to deal with recovery while your sleep tank is running low, the house is becoming chaotic & you may feel like you’re losing yourself.

As your Postpartum Doula, I’m here to provide a listening ear and a steady shoulder to lean on — minus the judgment.

I empower you with evidence-based information on many topics including infant feeding — breast, bottle, or both — Mother-baby bonding, provide soothing techniques for fussy babies and basic newborn care. I am able to answer any questions you may have about typical newborn and infant behavior as well as share coping skills for new or seasoned parents.

I focus heavily on maternal recovery with an emphasis on maternal and paternal mental health, holistic recovery, inner work & self-care during this vulnerable time.

My Postpartum care services can include:

• Release/Meditation Session

• Assisting with baby’s first bath.

• Assist with set up of a spiritual herb bath.

• Care for baby while you catch up on sleep, a shower, a meal or whatever it is your heart desires.

• Help parents feel more confident in their new role

• Tending of unique needs of a new birthing person

• Washing + folding baby’s laundry.

• Sanitizing + washing bottles and/or breast pump parts

• Making simple and nutritious meals/snacks.

• Help with adjusting slings and baby-wearing devices.

• Empowering parents to achieve short & long term self-care success.

• Creating vision boards, journaling, inner work.

• Assist in incorporating an older child, partner, or grandparents into this beautiful new experience.

• “All Hands On Deck” - so you can focus on resting, recovering, and bonding with yourself + baby.

Childbirth Education

My Childbirth Education Course is here to help you and your partner build confidence in your body’s ability to give birth and be prepared for this new way of life.

You will find a safe place to discuss your fears about labor and birth with me and other couples who hold the same concerns and questions.

You and your partner will learn all about the process of childbirth and how to best guide and support each other on your family’s special day. We will discuss pain relief options including breathing techniques, labor positions, massage, relaxation, medications, and more!

If you are looking for a more comprehensive knowledge that is centered around the birthing person and partner, my Childbirth Education Course provides just that.

While classes at your local hospital may include a very basic overview of labor and birth, my course will expand your knowledge to include the physiology behind labor, birth, and postpartum and your newborn.

My mission is to provide information that empowers you to make informed decisions, develop coping skills, know your childbirth options and so much more.

When you leave my class, I can assure you, you will leave with every question answered!
