Looking for a Doula?

A doula is an advocate for birth choices and a trusted member of your birth and/or postpartum team. They provides information, support (physical and mental) and resources to make each step easier and build confidence in pregnancy, birth, postpartum and parenting.

I’d love to help simplify the process and support you along your unique journey.

As your Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula, I’ll be your guide, helping you navigate through pregnancy, birth and parenthood. Because you deserve to feel supported, equipped and empowered as you prepare for and welcome your little one to the world.

I’m here to support YOUR goals. I’ll help you make a plan and plan for the unexpected, providing you with practical information and tools to help you have a positive birth experience and easy transition into parenthood.
