I'm honored to serve you (in-person or virtual)

I work directly for the birthing woman.

As your birth doula, I support you physically, emotionally, and with up-to-date information during your pregnancy, birth, and immediately post-birth.

My support extends to your partner/family as you desire.

At our prenatal meetings we build a relationship of trust as we create a plan to best serve you

During your birth process, I'm a guiding and re-assuring presence. I'm aware of both your energy and the energies of others' around you.  My support may change moment-to-moment to clear the clutter as you open for birth.

I've doula-ed at hospitals, birth centers, and at home-births. 

I've doula-ed for single women, partner fully present, partner not so much into it, long births, short births, unexpected turns.

I've doula-ed for people from a variety of cultures and lifestyles.  I've served people with anxiety, and prior birth trauma.  I've served "young,"  "old," those with medical conditions, and  "low risk" people.

I'm with you  1-2 hours after birth to assist as needed while you settle in with your baby earth-side. 

Postpartum doula: Choose from a birth-postpartum combination package, or postpartum doula as a stand-alone service.

Recently, I've served fully virtually.  

I may see you two times in the first week to keep it calm or to  establish breast-feeding, then come by for processing, chores, time for you to sleep, sibling help, or more.

 I see some clients a year after birth for day-care or reflective listening 

 I offer everything from ceremony, to  practical help such as dog walking.  

Mostly, I listen.  Second most often:  I serve as a guide as you settle into feeding and sleeping with your newborn with ease.
