I discovered a passion for caring for Moms and Dads while helping my daughter give birth to my first grandson. I am interested in keeping you comfortable, getting you the birth you want, and helping to defend your birth plan. I am a Spinning Babies Parent Educator (provisional), advanced VBAC doula and retired Hypnobabies instructor. I am also trained for the use of TENS in birth. In short I employ everything I can find to keep you safe, comfortable and calm. With almost 9 years experience and helping with more than 90 babies, I would love to help you welcome your little one.

I will use (and help your partner use) Acupressure, Aromatherapy, Spinning Babies, and Guided Meditation, to support you mentally, emotionally and physically as you welcome your baby. You decide when you want me to join you (typically while you are still at home), then I follow you to the hospital or birth center and stay until you are resting comfortably with your new baby in your arms. My goal is to keep you relaxed, positive and comfortable. This is your birth and I want nothing more than for you to get the birth you want. (I will even snap some photos of the first moments, after birth, on your phone or camera. This captures the fleeting moments of your reactions and the baby's cord cutting).
