What is a Doula?
The word Doula is used to refer to a trained and experienced professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to a Birthing Person before, during, and just after birth. A Doula is someone who has walked the path, and can help people navigate the twists and turns of this particular journey.
As a Doula, I don’t take the place of, nor try to take over the responsibilities of, the important trained medical professionals associated with birth (Midwife, Doctor, Nurse), nor do I replace the Birth Partner, if applicable. Instead I’m there to help those involved handle the intense emotional and physical aspects of birth, as well as help the Birthing Person tap into their innate potential to birth. A Doula’s knowledge of birth provides a great counterpoint to the Midwife or Doctor’s medical concentration, the Partner’s knowledge of the Birthing Person, and helps the Client advocate for themselves, and the birth they want. With experience in many environments; low and high risk pregnancies; spontaneous labor, scheduled inductions or caesarean, emergency inductions or caesareans; surrogacy; and first through multiple pregnancies (whether that be siblings, or pregnancy after loss), I bring a very wide range of knowledge to your experience.
I am fully insured and certified, with additional training in serving sexual abuse survivors, as well as LGBTQA+ families.
