Birth philosophy

I have been attending births in the role of a doula since March 2006. I count it an absolute honor every single time I am invited into this space. Birth is not just something that happens to us, it is something we are made to do! Our bodies are not broken or flawed, and with the right support— birth will be the most transformative, empowering, and beautiful thing you ever do!

I wholeheartedly believe in our bodies ability to birth our babies. Yes anomalies exist, but the vast majority of women have the innate instincts to birth their babies with no intervention at all.

I believe in your ability to birth your baby, you believe in you too!

Role of a doula

My role is never to replace the closest people to you, but to enhance their own roles in your birth.

I love supporting partners and helping them feel involved, connected, and equally supported.

Leading up to the birth, as a team we will talk about normal physiological birth, what to expect, pain relief strategies, interventions, common procedures for mom and newborn, informed consent, and create a digestible birth plan that reflects it all.

All the things to help you feel comfortable and empowered.

During your birth I will provide continuous labor support from active labor (which is typically when you’ll need me) through two hours postpartum.

Virtual clients

This will look a bit different, but I will be taking on clients who might not have access to a local doula they connect with. Just like with in person clients, we will talk about normal physiological birth, what to expect, pain relief strategies, interventions, common procedures for mom and newborn, informed consent, and create a digestible birth plan that reflects it all.
