Birth and Postpartum Doula

A birth doula is a professional who provides continuous emotional, physical, mental and educational support for you and your partner during pregnancy, through labor and immediately postpartum.

As your doula, I will help you find your voice.  I will help you advocate for yourself.  I strive to give you the best evidence based information and tools to help you make decisions confidently.  I provide you with unbiased and non-judgmental support so you can birth your own way.

During labor I help physically by suggesting and helping you into different positions to find relief.  I have other types of comfort measures such as massage, rebozo work, breathing techniques and pressure points to help you through contractions.  I also provide lots of encouragement, support and relief for your partner.

I do not provide any type of medical care or perform any medical procedures as your birth doula.

A postpartum doula essentially "mothers the mother."  I fulfill this role by providing evidence based information and support during your transition into parenthood after baby arrives. So much attention is on your beautiful new baby, and while I am there to help both you and baby, my main focus is on you!

I help teach you basic newborn care, infant feeding(breast or bottle) and I offer sibling care.  Other offerings include basic household chores, light pet care, running errands and some healthy meal prepping for you and your family.  

Most importantly, I help you feel safe and comfortable in your physical and emotional healing process.  I will provide you with lots of love, support and assistance during those precious early weeks of parenthood and beyond.
