As a doula, my goal is to support you and your goals so that you can have your best birth. Typically we meet together two times prenatally to get to know each other as well as discuss your hopes and wishes regarding your birth. I have over 5 years experience and while I’ve supported parents in almost every situation imaginable, every birth is different and no two people’s needs are the same. My goal is to give you the emotional and physical support you need during each stage of pregnancy and birth as well as the postpartum period.
