Birth Doula Home & Hospital
When early labor begins, I can be there to begin calming, comforting support physically, emotionally and spiritually. I take a minimalist approach to my doula services because I believe in the importance of an undisturbed, physiological birth process. However, I can be as hands on/off as a mother needs me to be. I can assist mamas in their home, go with them to the hospital and /or birth center. I aim to be of service to the mother as well as guide the partner in his/her ability to be a more helpful support person as well.
Energy & Wisdom

Birth Doula Home & Hospital
When I enter your sacred birth and postpartum space, I aim to bring a calm and peaceful presence with me. I am whatever the family needs at that time. I can bring in therapies that have ancient abilities to ease the mind and nervous system as well as modern education that help facilitate an empowered birth experience for the whole family.

As I make my visits, I can tailor my support to your needs. Some moms want healing touch, while others are looking for more of an educational experience. I am happy to offer any of these things because I believe that women are designed to bring healing to other women through community and positive support.

Labor Support Aromatherapy
I bring my aroma kit to your birth and I allow the mother to decide which scents are calling to her. Each scent has its own beautiful benefits and soul-soothing abilities. I add the scents to the diffuser and I infuse the hot towels with aroma so that the mama can get the full benefit of her herbal allies via vapor and delight her sense of smell.

I bring in the principles of Ayurveda and the wise woman traditions of supporting a peaceful and holistic birth. I will help a woman move through the stages of labor by holding sacred space and aiding her ability to find tranquility through all of the labor stages. Stress inhibits the progression of labor and it is my goal to minimize a woman's stress through various modalities so that she can glide through her labor with more ease.
Birth Doulas Prepare you for all of the stages
Every Woman Deserves to Be Nurtured During Both Her Sacred Birth and Postpartum Window
We get so much attention and support during pregnancy and labor, but what about the support and nurturing that we need during those difficult days of postpartum? No woman should have to feel alone and left to fend for herself during the most vulnerable time of her life. A new mother also deserves to be mothered, and this is why fortifying a support system early on can help for a smooth transition into motherhood .
My mission is to bring both strength and peace.
"Every woman is brave; I am simply there to remind her of it."
