I became a doula because I want to be able to support women through this beautiful and natural process. I believe that every birth is special and unique and that every woman who desires additional support and encouragement should receive that. Every woman who experiences it should be able to look back and know that they had a team of people on their side during their birth. To me, birth is not routine and each person who experiences it- goes through something different. Whether it be a joyous occasion or one someone would soon rather forget, I believe in meeting each woman at the point of their need and helping them get through it safely and collaboratively as possible. I look forward to being a part of your story!
