Meet Your Birth Doula

Trained Doula, DONA

Bachelors of Science

As your doula, I will provide unbiased, evidence based information on all things pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I will give you the benefits, risks, and alternatives to any medications/interventions and support you in any of the choices you make. I believe that every birthing person has the right to choose what is best for them and support birth in all capacities, whether in a hospital or at home, medicated or not.
I will offer a variety of positions for labor progression by helping baby navigate their way through the pelvis. I will also offer comfort measures such as massage, counter pressure, and breathing techniques to help cope as labor progresses.
As your doula, I am not a replacement for your partner. I am passionate about creating space for partners to be fully involved in your labor and will encourage them to help you in any way possible!
