Empowering your motherhood journey
“When a baby is born, so is a mother”
I feel incredibly honored to help facilitate guidance, nourishment, and healing for so many mothers as they birth their babies and lean into motherhood.
In our current society, it is considered normal for so many of life’s special moments to become glazed over by the rush of busy work schedules and daily routines. I hope to meet you where you are at with gentleness. Providing you with support and the proper resources you need to feel empowered and held as you bring your baby into the world and navigate those sacred first weeks.
What is a Doula?
A Doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, informational, and emotional support to a mother and family before, during, and after childbirth. Doulas offer evidence-based support, encouraging mothers to make informed decisions and use their voices. A Doula helps a mother advocate for her birth wishes to encourage the very best care throughout her labor and delivery.
A doula is a helper.
