Imagine walking through your fertility or birth journey feeling calm, confident, and supported
A doula is a trained professional who provides physical, emotional, and informational support to individuals before, during, and shortly after childbirth. Unlike medical professionals, doulas focus on non-clinical aspects of care, to help create a confident and empowering fertility, pregnancy, and birth experience. Doulas also can equip families with knowledge to help them advocate for themselves and navigate the myriad options that are available during this time.
Evidence shows that continuous support (like that from a doula) is associated with shorter labor durations, reduced need for medical interventions like C-sections, and increased satisfaction with the birthing experience. A 2017 Cochrane review of 26 studies concluded that continuous support from a doula can lead to better outcomes for both parent and baby, highlighting the value of this personalized, compassionate care.
My Approach
In my practice, I firmly believe in bodily autonomy and supporting the rights and choices of each family. I also believe that in order to make informed decisions, clients need to be equipped with more knowledge and all of the options (not just standard policies & procedures).
I am dedicated to evidence-based practices, helping birthers make informed decisions, and empowering them to reclaim their fertility journeys & birthing experiences from a system that often prioritizes institutional procedures over individual needs.
Connecting Back to Your Power
I believe we are in a time where things are shifting in how we approach fertility, pregnancy, and birth.
YOU are the birther, this is YOUR baby(ies) and YOUR birth. It’s time to reclaim your power as you embark on this divine journey.
I want to help you connect deeply to yourself, your support system, and your path. I utilize informational, physical, and emotional support to help clients feel supported, knowledgeable, and empowered throughout their journey.
