Hey Y'all! I'm so glad you've found me here! I hope you find this space informative as to what I do as a birth doula as well as a place you can come to have your questions answered about your impending labor and birth.
I can't wait to chat with you!

As a doula I help families feel supported by making the emotional side of labor as easy and calm as possible. When you're at ease your hormones can work with your body helping your baby arrive safely. Whether a birth is unmedicated or interventions are needed, all families can benefit from having a doula on their birth team.
Not only am I trained as a birth doula, but I have also trained through the Spinning Babies program. This has given me many position ideas for comfort and labor progression. This includes hands on techniques like counter pressures, as well as positional changes that can help a baby move into the birth canal and through the pelvis without strenuous interventions.
Whether it's your husband, mom, sister, or friend, I support them so they can in turn support you! Often times the person you choose to be with you during your labor is the person that knows you best! They make a great support person for you. I help teach them and guide them to be as involved in the labor as you choose.
As a DONA International certified doula, I can help show you evidence-based birth resources so that you can be informed and ask the questions that you need answered. When you are well informed you will be able to better advocate for yourself so you can have the best birth possible for you and your baby.
Hey there! Welcome to the blog! I hope the blog will answer some questions you may have and also give you some things to consider with your next pregnancy, labor and birth.
It’s time to learn how to help your birth partner! Often times your number one birth partner is your spouse but it could also be your mom, sister or a close friend. Even if you have a doula, they should be teaching your partner how to be your #1 partner and support during your labor and birth.
If you follow me on social media you might have seen I announced a new class that I wrote and will be teaching May 2nd! I’m so excited about this class and I hope and pray it’s helpful to expecting parents in this fun, tiring and exciting season of life.
