Birth Doula Services
Since the beginning of time, birthing women have always been supported by other women. Whether this woman is a servant, midwife, mother, friend or grandmother, the presence of an experienced, compassionate support person can make a huge difference.
I offer comprehensive, professional doula care for women and their families. I work in collaboration with the family and help them to feel empowered in their birth choices by offering factual information, emotional support and physical support throughout pregnancy, birth and the immediate postpartum period.
