Congratulations on your pregnancy! Birth is a unique experience and having a doula by your side means having a healthier pregnancy and feeling empowered about your birth. You have already taken the first step to taking your birth into your own hands.

Our journey together starts as early as you like- generally people aim to have their first prenatal meeting between 34-36 weeks. My goal is to have you be prepared for labor, birth and postpartum so you will feel calm and confident walking into that birth center/hospital/or even your own home.

Having a birth doula means once you go into labor I will come to your home and help you find your comfort (we practice comfort measures at our second prenatal visit). You can try different breathing techniques, massage, and positions and we will find what’s most comforting for you. It’s all about about you feeling nurtured and empowered.

Postpartum I will visit you either in the hospital or at home, depending on your needs. I will make sure breastfeeding is going well (if you want to breastfeed), check on you and your baby and am always available for questions.
