Doula Support is a unique service. When you hire a doula, you are hiring someone who you can feel comfortable with during your most vulnerable moments. Someone you can call if doubts or questions creep in. When you hire me as your doula, you also get someone who has 300+ births of experience in all settings with all different types of care providers (including traditional birth keepers and unassisted births). I am a fully trained and experienced doula, originally certified through DONA International, though I have since left that organization. I have been through both the Basics and Integration workshops through Spinning Babies. I am also highly experienced in VBAC and HBAC and am a Certified VBAC Pro with VBAC Academy.

I specialize in out-of-hospital birth (like home birth or birth center birth) and High-Risk Births that happen in hospital settings (like multiples, complex medical situations, anxiety etc). I’ve had trainings in breech birth, shoulder dystocia, and PPH and while I’m not a midwife, these skills allow me to be an integral part of your care team in the case of an emergency as I know how to help you and your care team in the moment. I am a Professional member of Evidence Based Birth and utilize their research to stay up to date on all things concerning birth and babies. I was a licensed massage therapist for almost a decade and a certified yoga teacher for 18 years. I bring a whole wealth of knowledge, skills, and techniques to each and every birth I attend.
