Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
“And she rises while it is still night And gives food to her household, And portions to her attendants.” -Psalm 31:15
As your doula…
I will help you make decisions, let your voice be heard, honor your birth plan and protect your rights as a birthing mom. I will provide advice, information, emotional support and physical comfort to you and your partner (husband, partner, family member and/or friend) before, during and just after childbirth. I will provide spiritual guidance through prayer and encouragement if asked. My hope is to help your growing family get off to best start possible. I look forward to working with you and your family!
During our meetup, we will discuss an overview of your pregnancy, birth plan and goals, and your postpartum needs. I'd love to hear what got you interested in hiring a doula, help you understand the benefits of a doula, and discuss how I can best support you in your birth journey!
Okay, So What Is A Doula/Birthworker?
A doula/birthworker is a designated person who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to their client before, during, and after childbirth.
What Doula’s DON’T Do…
Doula's do not offer medical assistance or perform any medical tasks. That is the role of your nurse, doctor or midwife. Doula’s have an extensive amount of knowledge and can share evidence-based information to support you in your decision making and advocate for you in the birth room. A doula does not replace your partner, but works alongside you supporting you both. My main focus is to help you have the best experience possible.
