Doula Support
My job as your doula is to help you experience your best possible birth. I do not impose my own views, but help you understand all of your birth options and support your decisions. I walk beside you on your journey, taking the time to understand your fears surrounding the birth process and how we might work together to overcome them.
My doula support package includes two prenatal visits and one postpartum visit. Each visit lasts for approximately two hours. I work with you to tailor custom healing arts sessions to meet your needs. The following are tools that I use to customize a package for you.

Dialogue
Throughout your pregnancy and postpartum period, I am available to you via email and phone for questions and support. You will receive inspiring articles, passages, and cards throughout your pregnancy and postpartum period. I offer use of my lending library of books, DVDs, and music for birth. I am on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for two weeks before your estimated due date until the birth of your baby.
When labor begins I provide continuous support to you in your home or at the hospital. I use many of the tools listed above in addition to positioning, guided imagery, warm packs, cool compresses, mantras, and movement. At our follow-up visit, I present you with your child’s birth story.
I enjoy supporting all types of birth experiences and specialize in VBAC and multiples.
