Birth & Postpartum Doula
Birth is one of the biggest initiations and transformative experiences a women can have.
A baby is born and so is a mother.
The journey of pregnancy is a sacred time in which a mother is to be celebrated, nurtured, listened to, supported and empowered.
I am here to do just that!
What I offer:
As a doula I am here for it all- your dreams, fears, tears, desires, questions & intentions. I have no judgements or notions of what your birth or process should look like— it is your birth, your way.
I am here to provide education, empowerment, advocacy and tenderhearted care rooted in sisterhood, so you feel supported and prepared going into birth. During your birth I am a grounding cord throughout the entirety of the process. And when you enter postpartum, I will prepare nourishing meals, tend to your body, baby, heart & home.
I believe the journey of conception into motherhood is extremely tender and sacred- I am here to hold, nourish and support all that you are and are becoming.

Support During Birth:
Starting around 37 weeks, I will be on call 24/7 until you birth your baby. When your labor begins, I can come as soon as you’d like my support. I will be with you throughout your process until your baby is born. While in labor I will provide tender heart-centered support, be a calm and reassuring presence, advocate for your needs, when times are rough be that person that says- you can fucking do this, you are doing this.
I support the birthing person & partner emotionally, mentally and spiritually while also providing practical physical support like birthing positions, massage, and compressions to ease sensations. I believe in providing support, while also not interfering with a womans process. I remain with you until everyone feels fully nested & nourished.
After babes arrival and you have nestled back into your home we will focus on: nourishment, bodycare, emotional support & integration and community. These visits will 4 hours in duration depending on the needs of the mother.
