LABOR OF LOVE DOULA SERVICES

"Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers ~ strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength."
- Barbara Katz Rothman

Prenatal Consultation

Perhaps you may not be interested in having a doula-supported birth, but you do desire to become informed about your options and feel confident about your choices in childbirth. I will help to provide the knowledge to help you prepare for your upcoming birth.

Pregnancy &
Birth

As a certified labor doula, I am committed to supporting the birth you envision without judgement or bias. My familiarity with various types of birth means you’ll have expert guidance, no matter how your baby’s birth story is written.

Postpartum Guidance

Whether this is your first or fifth baby, the pressure to have it all together soon after you’ve given birth is overwhelming for many families. As a certified postpartum doula, I will anticipate your family’s needs while taking care of the details behind the scenes.

HAVING A KNOWLEDGEABLE TRAINED SUPPORT PERSON BY YOUR SIDE

A doula is a non-medical professional who accompanies women in labor to help ensure a satisfying birth experience. I have completed training approved by DONA International and am certified thru ProDoula where I draw on my professional training, knowledge and experience to provide emotional support and physical comfort. I can provide reassurance and perspective to you and your partner, make suggestions for labor progress, and help with relaxation, soothing touch, positioning and other techniques for comfort. I am independent and self-employed. As your doula, I am working for you, not your caregiver or hospital.
