As a birth doula, I accompany you in labor to help develop a safe and satisfying birth experience. I believe that birth is an empowering, profound, marvelous, sacred, life-changing experience. I offer sensitivity, stamina, patience and reverence to your birth process. I will provide information to enable you to make informed choices. I will maintain complete confidentiality of all details relating to your pregnancy and birth. As I am independent and self-employed, I will be working for you, not your care provider or hospital. I am there to provide on-going, nurturing, emotional and spiritual care and provide physical comfort measures to you during your birth experience. I can provide reassurance and perspective to you, make suggestions to help, and help with relaxation, massage, distraction, position and other techniques for comfort.

Free Consultation
I am available for as many phone/email consultations as you'd like and I can meet with you and your partner for an initial meeting to explore and discuss your priorities, discuss any fears or concerns and plan how we might work best together. This meeting typically lasts 1 hour.

Up to 2 Prenatal Visits
I like to meet with you ideally twice before labor. Some families don't feel that 2 meetings are necessary. In those meetings we talk about what you would like in your Birth Plan and your preferences regarding labor. I also will want to know your own best ways of coping with stress and fatigue and how you and your partner forsee us working together. |
