A doula is not a medical support role, but instead provides emotional, physical, and spiritual support in this key experience of your life. While all birth experiences cannot be planned and "managed", a doula is there to nurture and care for the birthing parent. As an all-inclusive birth doula, I welcome all parents of all beliefs to consult with me. Whether you're having a home birth or planned cesarean, whether you want an epidural or not, first-time birth or seventh-time, I would love to provide you with support. Please do not hesitate to reach out, a sister's embrace is just a moment away!!
