Finding the Right Fit
When you’re preparing to welcome a baby into your life, you’re told to find the right car seat, the best stroller, the safest crib. But one of the most personal, impactful decisions you’ll make isn’t about gear — it’s about people. Choosing a doula is about finding the right fit — and just like finding the right pair of jeans or the perfect therapist, it’s not a one-size-fits-all process.
Meet Your Doula
My goal as a birth worker is to help educate growing families on their options during labor and birth, to provide evidence based knowledge and resources, and to help reduce negative birth experiences. How do I do this? I support you in a personal way that is going to help you have a calm, comfortable, and fast birth. What worked for others may not work for you… and that is okay. I’m here to help you find what works best for you. I guide you through position changes or breathing techniques that will help you and baby move through labor. Hopefully, comfortably and calmly. I offer evidence based advice to stir conversations between you and your support person that will help you make tough decisions. In all that I do, I remove my idea of the “perfect” birth for myself and focus on how I can support your envision for an ideal birth.
In the dark
A look into my first birth, my favorite birth— the birth of our son, Jude.
This birth opened my heart to the idea of becoming a doula and changed my life completely.
