Ask Me What I Doula!

I provide compassionate support, reduce fear and instill strength and courage during pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum, by being physically and emotionally present and available.

 

What can I doula for you?

My goal is to help every woman have the birth they desire with their own unique needs and preferences. I do my best to ensure you have a custom birth plan that fits your needs and supports a comfortable and safe delivery, in whatever way that may be, medicated, natural, water birth, cesarean (planned or unplanned). I support you through the process providing you resources and information to make informed choices, even if the birth plan should deviate, of the risks and or benefits of your options. We go through the numerous ways to reduce fear, anxiety and pain during labor and delivery. This is a special moment you will never forget and tell about for years to come, and I hope to help make it as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

Once you have had your baby I have experience and training in the special care of newborns, diapering, breast and or bottle feeding, pumping, sleeping, comforting and soothing. I am available to come to your home to guide and encourage you through these abilities. I can prepare you a healthy snack, fold some baby laundry, vacuum, wash dishes, take the dog for a walk or just sit and listen to you. I can hold/watch your baby while you shower, eat or get a much needed nap! I also provide overnight services. I will bring your baby to you to nurse, or bottle feed, change and burp and put back to sleep. 

I have personal experience, of my own and of those close to me, with pregnancy loss and have taken courses that will help me help you navigate through this emotional time should that scenario arise.
