A doula is like a trail guide, familiar with the path, she keeps you hiking through the hard parts, knowing the view at the end is incredible...
Welcome - I'm so thrilled that you found me! This is such an exciting time for you and your family. Preparing for the birth of your baby is so important, and hiring a doula is the first step in the process. I invite you to my passion!
I offer you compassionate support as you begin this new journey in your life. You will feel secure in your birth with me. You will feel loved in your birth with me. You will feel valued in your birth with me. My priority is that you know what your choices are, and that you feel seen and heard in the process. You will have my full support in the uncertainty, in the unknown, and in the joy of it all!
A little bit about me...
