Birth Doula

During labor and birth, I provide steady, compassionate support to help you feel grounded, informed, and cared for throughout the experience. My role is to offer evidence based information so you can make confident, informed decisions that align with your values and preferences as labor unfolds. I also support partners and family members, helping them feel included, reassured, and better equipped to support you during birth. Throughout labor, I use a variety of comfort techniques such as breathing guidance, positioning, movement, massage, counter pressure, and calming emotional support to help you cope with the intensity of labor and create a more supported birthing experience. Postpartum care includes two follow-up visits, one shortly after birth to check in on your recovery, feeding, emotional wellbeing, and adjustment at home, and another around six weeks postpartum to provide continued support as you settle into life with your new baby.
