I believe women should be empowered during birth.
Women should have the ability to make informed decisions around their birth while also feeling safe, loved, and supported. As your doula I provide evidence based education while also bringing personal, observational, and generational knowledge to your birth. A doula is meant to serve you both emotionally and physically during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
By feeling empowered you retain your authority over your body, your baby, and your birth. As your doula I walk alongside you as you transition into motherhood in a respected way.
