Ideally, my client relationships begin a few months before the baby is due. During this time, the goal is to establish a relationship that gives the mother complete freedom to ask questions, express fears and concerns, and take an active role in creating a birth plan. We will discuss the benefits of the use massage, tools such as labor and peanut balls, various educational support and positioning suggestions to help labor progress as comfortable as possible. You will have access to my library of material on labor, birth, breastfeeding and more.

I make myself available to my client by phone or email, to answer questions or explain any developments that may arise in your pregnancy.

 As your Doula, I will remind you to advocate for the you and your baby by verbally encouraging your desires for your birth. My goal as your Doula, is to make sure you have a positive and safe birth experience.

Additionally, It is my priority to continue educating myself in the medical aspect of labor and delivery to help you get a better understanding of procedures and complications that may arise in late pregnancy or during delivery.

Doula Support doesn't stop at child birth. If there is ever a time that you need support the most, its after you've brought your baby Earth side.

 Your world has suddenly changed and turned upside down.

Take a deep breath in, exhale out, and as you do.....say the word Dooooooooooula. And just like, that I appear. :)
