what is a doula?

My purpose as your doula is to walk alongside all of you - happy, anxious, hangry - it's all natural to me.
My role is designed to demonstrate a sense of community and provide dedicated support to your family through the transition of welcoming a new baby.

In my traditional value system, preparing a mother for labor and postpartum begins with mind-body; things such as wholesome foods, connection with the earth, and going within (internal work) are not only necessary, but sacred to protecting health and future well-being.
Although there are many ways to encourage this, my job is to help you identify your goals, offer resources when needed most, and encourage you to actualize your dreams!

I aim to bridge the gap between your instinctive knowledge and the medical care provided to you. I collaborate with your healthcare providers to create a positive birthing and/or postpartum experience where you feel safe, supported, and in control.
