I am Valerie Rohde, wife to Doug, mommy to Ryne, and I am childbirth doula passionate about supporting families on their journey to parenthood. As your doula I cannot be your voice, but I can help provide a sense of support and encouragement so that you can confidently make decisions about your birth experience. I am committed to imparting knowledge and wisdom from my own training and experiences as necessary to help you make the most informed decisions. I am proud to say I also have the support of a large variety of doulas and mentor doulas and childbirth educators to turn to if you have a question I cannot answer. The researcher in me will always help find answers to your questions and the teacher in me will explain them in a way you can understand. I not only support mom in her birthing efforts, but dad, sometimes even more so, to be a confident birth partner and to feel proud of his support for his wife. It is by supporting the family unit as a whole that yields the greatest outcome for all of us. I fully believe in maximum self-determination for your birth experience and want to fully support you so that you can have a brilliant beginning that you are at peace with for a lifetime.
