About me

We fear labor and birth because it is unknown. Im here to educate, empower and support you throughout your pregnancy and labour using evidence based techniques and indigenous wisdom. If Doulas were a pill, every pregnant person would get one. Numerous Studies across the globe prove that that people who received continuous support were more likely to have spontaneous vaginal births and less likely to have any pain medication, epidurals, negative feelings about childbirth, vacuum or forceps-assisted births, and Cesareans. For this reason, doulas in the USA are in high demand because of their ability to lower the cost of birth by tens of thousands of dollars. In addition, doula assisted pregnant people's labors were shorter by about 40 minutes.

Service introduction

As your birth doula: after our initial intro call, we will have two educational sessions for you and any other birth companion to prepare for labour. I will be available to answer your questions throughout the pregnancy. And when it comes time to deliver, I will be there with you until baby is safely delivered, and we will have another postpartum session to make sure you have everything you need for a successful start to your parenthood.

Dayle came in last minute when our original doula could not make it, and she was an absolute blessing! She had everything my wife needed and asked for in her doula bag, ready to go, at her service. She has warmth, a sense of play, and is skilled in breath work and other techniques that helped my wife through her natural birth (no drugs!). highly recommend.
