Birth Doula Support

​

As a birth doula I am a trained certified professional. I  provide emotional, physical and educational support through evidence based research and information. My goal is to provide the highest quality of care and to make sure that you feel cared after and heard. I support all birthing choices, unconditionally,  including home, hospital and birth center births. I am experienced in supporting moms through drug free births as well as medicated births. I give you my complete presence and energy,  holding a space for you, so as to allow your birth to unfold at it's highest potential. I provide you with tools and encouragement for self advocacy,
both in a medical or home setting.
