imagine...

Imagine the day you give birth – in a place where you feel safe (that may be at a hospital, a birthing center, or at home), with a care provider who you trust.

Being surrounded by people who bring calm, who support your decisions, who recognize your power and who honor your choices.  Using various pain management techniques you will be better able to cope and to be in control of your thoughts. 

You are encouraged to listen to and trust your body.  You will feel heard and supported in your moments of vulnerability, and in your moments of strength.

​

(Sounds so good, right?)

​

Now, imagine your fresh little baby on your chest. 

You close your eyes to soak in the moment, and you feel so proud of everything you accomplished. 

You did it, mama.

​

You are strong and capable.  You deserve a wonderful and satisfying birth experience! 

An experience where you felt heard, in control of decisions, and present.

​

As your doula, I want to help you and your partner achieve the birth you desire, and to ENJOY this day and these memories.  Even through obstacles, you are the decision maker – and that can make all the difference in being able to feel in control of your birth. 

I can help guide you through this process, and all the different emotions you will experience on this journey.  While your Doctor or Midwife help you medically through your birth, I'll be at your side providing comfort, care and coaching for you.
