Every Doula has their own unique way of processing your birth. However, most of us have the same philosophy and that is to insure you have the best birth experience. The word "doula" comes from the Greek meaning to serve and that is what I am and what I do best. As a certified birth Doula I support women in labor to ensure safe, satisfying, and memorable birth experience. My role focuses on providing physical comfort as well as emotional & informational support. I also facilitate communication between you and your providers/hospital staff to make sure you are able to make informed decisions as they arise. I can provide reassurance and perspective to you and your partner, make suggestions for labor progress, and help with relaxation, massage, positioning, and other techniques for comfort. I am passionate about the world of pregnancy and childbirth, understanding that these are moments that create memories to last a lifetime. I believe that women's bodies were designed to give birth, that life is a gift, and that birth tends to be best experienced when mother and her partner feel supported,heard, and cared for.
