Each birth experience is unique and so memorable. It is a time that will remain with you for life. Giving birth and becoming a parent to a new baby can be intimidating.

My role as a doula is to support you, give you the tools and resources to make your birthing journey a positive and comfortable experience, and I provide education that will empower you in making choices that feel right for you for your birth.

My support begins during your pregnancy and concludes early in the postpartum period. My role as a Birth Doula will entail the following:

• Two or Three 2-hour Prenatal Visits (Depending on Package)
