I am a trained professional midwife, doula trainer and mom to 2 boys. If you’re here, you’re on one of the most exciting journeys of your life - becoming a mom. Or maybe this isn't your first baby but want this next experience to be different (especially if you're preparing for VBAC). These few months can be a time filled with excitement, and, let's be honest, a bit of uncertainty too. That's where I come in. I’m here to walk this journey with you, every step of the way, supporting you to have the most positive, healthiest birth possible. Let's connect and talk about your dreams...fears and any regrets from a previous birth. Let's explore how I can support you to have the most positive birth possible - as YOU define it.

In my quest to provide you with the most empowering and positive birth experience, I've carefully curated a suite of unique pain management tools designed to support your journey into motherhood with more ease. These aren't just tools; they're your companions in creating a birth experience that celebrates your strength and resilience. My package is $2500 and includes 2 in-person prenatal consultations, unlimited email/phone support throughout your pregnancy, continuous birth support and 2 postpartum consultations. A one-stop shop for all of your professional birth preparation needs. Services include access to my 8hr digital GentleBirth Masterclass, my award-winning GentleBirth App, and Mindful Breastfeeding program. This carefully curated, evidence based curriculum provides you and your partner with comprehensive digital resources tailored to equip you with knowledge, techniques, and confidence. From understanding the stages of labor to mastering relaxation techniques and preparing for a positive postpartum recovery, these resources cover it all. **Winner Flow Breathing Regulator**: Breathe your way to a more peaceful and controlled labor with the Winner Flow Breathing Regulator. Exclusive from Europe, this innovative device is designed to enhance your breathing techniques, ensuring a steady flow of oxygen to both you and your baby. It's not just about breathing; it's about harnessing your breath's power to create a calm, centered, and empowered birthing experience. **TENS Machine**: Discover the transformative comfort of the TENS machine, your secret weapon for managing labor pain with ease and confidence. By delivering gentle electrical pulses to the body, it helps to block pain signals sent to the brain and stimulate the production of endorphins, your natural painkillers. It's a touch of modern technology that supports your natural strength, offering a drug-free path to pain relief and control during labor. **Red Light Therapy**: Experience the soothing power of red light therapy, a groundbreaking approach to in-labor and postpartum analgesia. This gentle, non-invasive treatment uses therapeutic red light to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and provide natural pain relief. It's an oasis of comfort, helping you stay relaxed, focused, and empowered throughout your labor journey and beyond. These are more than just tools; they are a testament to the personalized, holistic care I provide as your doula. Each one has been chosen for its proven effectiveness, ease of use, and ability to support a positive, empowering birth experience. Together, we'll use these tools to navigate your journey to motherhood in a way that feels nurturing, supported, and empowering. You'll also receive complimentary access to all of my digital products including the GentleBirth App, GentleBirth Childbirth Ed Masterclass and Mindful Breastfeeding Program.
