As a Doula I aim to be kind, supportive, well-informed, and adaptable to the unique needs of each family I support. I am deeply intuitive and highly resourced in all topics related to empowerment, healing, and possess a truly holistic commitment to creating conscious space.

I hope that my love for supporting families is evident in the dedicated way that I work as a Doula.

A friend of mine recommended Theresa and my husband and I are so glad we went with her! We plan to have her as our doula for our next child. From our first meet and greet phone call through delivery and postpartum, Theresa has been “all in” and very much a “calm in the storm.” She has been so supportive of every choice I made for my baby and I and also made sure to send pertinent research and evidence to help me make those decisions on the front end. I was using nitrous oxide (laughing gas provided by hospital) to cope with contractions and when Theresa walked in she immediately went to work helping to relax my body between contractions, helping me change positions frequently, providing counter pressure during contractions, teaching my husband to do all those things too, after she came in I didn’t use nitrous for the rest of the night. My birth did not go to plan as I had to be induced due to my blood pressure, ended up getting an epidural and a c section to get baby out, but the support from Theresa all throughout and especially postpartum has really helped me to process everything and stay present with my baby not lingering on the past and not worrying about the future.

Theresa is an amazing doula with so much knowledge around birth, pregnancy and babies. She kept us calm and supported during an unexpected pre-term birth that ended up being a very different birth than we had hoped for. She provided so much physical and emotional support and I don’t know what we would have done without her there! We are so grateful to have had Theresa as our doula and would definitely recommend her to other pregnant moms!

We had a very positive experience with Theresa as our Doula. This was my fourth pregnancy and I knew I wanted extra support. Funny thing- Theresa was actually our original Doula's backup. I met Theresa once the week of delivery and I immediately felt her comfort and support. My husband and I also felt her warmth and comfort immediately as she arrived at our birth. She brought with her an incredible confidence and calmness- while encouraging my autonomy during the birthing process. She truly was a joy during and after the birth of my son. Having her there after giving birth was helpful and honestly fun. I would absolutely recommend Theresa to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and comforting Doula. Some of her advice has carried on past delivery and really stuck with me in my parenting and life. My husband also felt very comfortable with Theresa and we all made an incredible team during this birth! My absolute favorite birth of all 4! We highly recommend Theresa!

This was my fourth time giving birth but my first time having a Doula and I wish I had knew Theresa sooner. She did exactly what I was expecting, she is really great at what she does. She gave excellent customer service I would recommend her to anyone.

She was a truly amazing doula. Very patient and understanding. She treats you like a friend while still being professional, organized and prepared. If you are interested in a non-toxic lifestyle for you and your baby, you will get along great with her. She had great advice and gave me so many good recommendations on natural alternative medicines and products. At the birth, she went above and beyond to fulfill all of my preferences and requests. Highly recommended!
