Why hire a Doula?

The support of a knowledgeable, caring and supportive person by your side is invaluable. As your doula, I am available to answer any questions, listen to your concerns and provide resources and referrals should you need them. Running a marathon is a whole lot easier with a running buddy by your side, cheering you on, helping you to stretch & hydrate when you need it. As your birth doula, I provide continuous labor support to both you and your birthing partner leaving you feeling loved, cared-for and empowered.

Navigating the birthing world shouldn't be scary. I am a huge supporter of making empowered and informed decisions. This is a changing world and knowledge truly is power; everyone deserves to make informed decisions that are evidence-based and not out of fear or lack of options.

“This is your body. Your baby. Your birth.”

Often times I hear mothers say, “I wish I knew I had that option”, “Nobody ever told me that!”, “I'm so sad I never had that experience…” That makes me sad. Hiring a doula is the best investment you can make because you'll be starting off you parenting journey more knowledgeable and confident in your own choices and desires for birth and beyond.

Your birth story matters.

In addition to providing continuous labor support, I provide support during the immediate postpartum period! I believe every mother should be cherished and nurtured; the postpartum period is a sacred time for bonding and establishing milk supply. As your doula, I help to take care of you, baby, and the home to ensure your journey is off to the best possible start.
