Doula Description

It is my goal to provide you and your family genuine, personal, and meaningful support throughout pregnancy, birth, and, early postpartum. It has not necessarily been a linear path that brought me into birth work, but it has been a clear one.  

I believe each of my choices and experiences have culminated and built off each other to guide me toward becoming a doula. I appreciate all the aspects that are a part of being a doula, and I value the advocacy and empowerment that are inherent in the work.  

It is important to me to provide evidence-based information to my clients, and through the mutual respect grown, trust in how that information is used and manifested surrounding the birth experience.  

I want every pregnant person to feel prepared to face the wonderfully challenging reality of birth with trust in their body and confidence in their intuition, regardless of the path that labor takes.

Above all, I strive to unconditionally and non-judgmentally support my client through this sacred and transformative event.

Fear and Anxiety of Giving Birth: Do I Need to get rid of These Feelings?

Embracing fear as a natural response to the unknown can transform anxiety into confidence. Equip yourself with knowledge, create positive affirmations, build a supportive birth team, seek out uplifting stories, and practice self-compassion. This approach helps counterbalance fear, empowering you to make informed decisions during labor and transition into parenthood with greater assurance.
