You can never predict exactly how birth will unfold. While we all hope for a smooth and straightforward delivery, it’s natural to have concerns after hearing stories of complications or challenges. This can lead to significant anxiety and stress as you approach your baby’s arrival. My role is to help ease that anxiety, providing support and guidance to ensure you have the best experience possible.
When you need someone to help slow things down if you feel overwhelmed, assist with decision-making in the moment, support you through labor, or be there for you in the days that follow, having a knowledgeable doula by your side can make all the difference..
When you are well-prepared for childbirth, equipped with skills to handle the challenges, and supported with knowledgeable guidance, you’ll be confident that you’ve done everything you can for yourself and your baby.
You’ll look back a year from now and remember your birth, appreciating the dedication and effort you invested in labor and parenting. Reflecting on the challenges you overcame, you’ll recognize that you made the best choices possible with the information available to you. With this perspective, you will be:
When you’ve successfully navigated the challenges of birth and have a strong support system in place, that sense of accomplishment and reassurance seamlessly translates into greater confidence in your new role as a parent.

I know what it’s like to try to prepare for the unknown.
As the mother of children with autism, parenting wasn’t at all what I expected! With guidance, I learned that I had all the wisdom and strength inside of me to go through hard times and find joy in our lives.
I wanted to channel my personal experience into something that serves growing families.
I became a doula in 2017 and have served over 250 families as a birth doula. I use my experience from hospital, birth center, and home births to offer solutions for any situation you might find yourself in.
As your doula, I provide support as soon as we start working together in pregnancy, throughout labor, and into your transition to parenthood. We have a team approach, giving you more thorough care on your journey.
While you focus on you and your baby, I capture the moments and emotions for you to always remember. I document your story so you can look back on your strength and the love that was felt. Memories fade, photos don’t.
Many parents focus solely on the challenges of birth, but our birth clients benefit from planning ahead for continuous support with our wrap-around postpartum services, ensuring you receive the same level of care throughout your journey as new parents.
