The word "doula" comes from the ancient Greek meaning "a woman who serves" and is now used to refer to a trained and experienced professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to the mother before, during and just after birth; or who provides emotional and practical support during the postpartum period. Studies have shown that when doulas attend birth, labors ar
e shorter with fewer complications, babies are healthier and they breastfeed more easily.

I have had 3 children and the experiences of each have taught me something different and pushed me into being more of who I have been called to be. I have long had a passion to serve and over the last 9+ years have built on that passion to educate myself on how to have a better birth experience, not only for myself, but for others. I believe strongly that every woman's body is meant to birth and every woman deserves the opportunity to be fully educated on their options and supported in a serene and safe environment from pregnancy to labor and through to their breastfeeding relationship. These factors are the foundation of building a lifetime of health, love, and trust with you and your bundle of joy. I am there for you to support you and help you understand your choices and guide you through your experience. After the birth we will come full circle where I will connect with you to reflect on your experiences, so as to instill those beautiful moments with you for a lifetime. Please contact me with any questions. I hope to serve you and your budding family! I am also currently offering the following services:
*Birth Photography
