What is a Birth Doula
Birth Doulas partner with mothers and families to provide information, encouragement, physical support and most importantly emotional support to the mother during pregnancy, labor and postpartum.
In my practice, I will help you to most closely achieve the birth plan / goals that you set for your birthing experience.
In our first meeting we will discuss your birth goals, your comfort around labor and delivery, what labor progression looks like and practice helpful techniques that will assist you to manage labor. We will also look at the most common medical interventions and how (if necessary) they would fit into your plan.
In our second meeting I will follow-up and answer questions.
Our massage appointments will be designed to ease discomfort and to provide a little time for the mother to relax and connect with baby.
I will join you in labor and will stay at your side approximately 2 hours baby arrives.
During our postpartum visit we will discuss how the family is adjusting with baby's arrival, I will check in on baby's nursing habits, if that is your choice and provide resources if needed.

Ask me for strength and I will lend not only my hand, but also my heart.
