The word Doula means maid servant. The first and most important role of the doula is to serve the laboring woman. When a woman is comfortable, supported, and encouraged she will be able to focus on her work of bringing her baby into this world!
There is a specific beauty in women supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and post partum. As a doula, my only desire is to see every woman supported, encouraged, and loved throughout this journey into motherhood. Whether it be for the first time or the tenth! This is not a role to take lightly. Being chosen as the doula for a birth is an absolute privilege! I hope every woman has the birth experience she desires!

I am a birth and post partum doula and a placenta encapsulation specialist. After the initial consultation I would like to meet with my client at least twice. This is so that I may become familiar with the Birth Plan, including preferences regarding pain management options and the use of pain medications. I will also want to know my client’s own best ways of coping with pain and fatigue and how she and her partner foresee working together and with me.
