I strongly believe in supporting parents to have the labor and birth experience they desire. I meet with parents prior to the delivery of baby to make sure we are the right fit for each other and to get their idea of the perfect birth and understand how they see me as a part of their birth team and story. If mom has a partner that will be with her, I never want to step on his/her toes or take their place, I am there for support, reassurance, comfort measures, and making sure everyone gets all the information needed to make the best decisions for their family. I am there to help relax everyone in the midst of one of the wildest and most rewarding rides they will ever take.
Labor & Birthing Doula Services
Attending births as a doula is probably one of my favorite parts of what I do. It is such a precious moment to be present for a couple as they work tirelessly and powerfully to bring their sweet baby into this world and it is one of the most amazing experiences to be allowed to partake in. I have been known to cry when the parents cry upon seeing their baby for the first time or cry when the mom is told she can finally push after waiting so long to get to that precious point!
