What is a Birth Doula?
Birth Companion, Birth Coach, non-medical person who assists a woman before, during and after childbirth.
What you can Expect
As a birth doula, I help support new families through the life changing experience of having a baby! I work with parents throughout pregnancy and labor to address their unique pregnancy, labor and delivery needs. My goal is to help restore peace of mind and help create a positive experience where you feel supported, cared for, informed and respected.
During pregnancy + labor I provide the following:
- Consultation (complimentary)
- Introductory meeting to get to know one another and ask questions.
- 24/7 availability via phone, email and text
- Once contracted no matter how far along you are in your pregnancy I will always be available!
- In person prenatal meeting
- 2 in-person meetings where we will spend time learning your and your partners specific preferences for your birth. We will create a birth plan that reflects your wishes.
- Continuous Labor Support

- Advocacy
- promoting collaboration among the birth team.
