My doula services are customized to your individual needs. I begin by understanding your goals, hopes, and fears and use that to guide my education and support. I believe in caring for the whole family — tending to the physical, emotional, and relational changes a new baby may bring. My goal is to help you understand the birth process, facilitate expectation setting, and show-up for you with compassionate, affirming, and evidence-based support.
