As your birth doula, my commitment to you is that I will do everything in my capabilities to empower you to have a safe and positive birth.
Ultimately it is up to you to ready your body, heart, soul, and mind for the birth of your baby and it would be my joy to support and encourage you along the way!
This is a "no-strings-attached" chance for us to to explore what our doula-client relationship could look like. I want you to feel the freedom to ask any questions you need to make the best decision for you and your family. Birth is personal and so is hiring a doula!
Education to assist your decision making regarding your birth wishes.
Hands on practice to enhance your labor preparations.
A framework to help you emotionally process and anticipate your upcoming birth.
Encouragement to find strength within yourself and ask questions when you are unsure.
Inspiration to advocate for yourself and your baby when presented with options and variables.
1-2 weeks later I'll provide a wellness visit to debrief your birth experience with you and provide referrals for postpartum or lactation doulas.
The unique role of a doula is that we have a singular focus. You.
My passion is that you are supported. If your partner is present, I will not replace or disempower them. My support of you can include coaching your partner and empowering them to engage in the intimate, beautiful moments of birth with you.
Nurses, OBs and midwives have a medical priority to you and your baby. Your partner, even if they are well prepared and educated, are more relationally invested with you and the unborn child. The support of a doula can free up medical professionals to engage in their priorities, can create space for partners to experience the emotional ups and downs of labor with you, and can be an anchor of encouragement and consistency to you, the laboring mother.
