Birth Doula Profile

I offer families the benefit of my experience - as a pregnant and nursing parent, a childbirth educator, a breastfeeding counselor, a fertility and pregnancy bodyworker, and a birth attendant (doula). I walk with my clients through it all, even if there are complications or a loss.

Preparing yourself and your family for a new family member is a big job. We're here to help you put together a great team of providers and a community of support so you can welcome your little one into a well-resourced nest.

As you move through your pregnancy your body will change. Together we will joyfully
* use bodywork, stretches and exercise to prepare your pelvis and pelvic floor for the new demands of growing a baby
* use bodywork, meditation and visualization to address previous trauma, clear the way, and bring awareness to compensatory patterns we might encounter during birth
* use abdominal breathing and relaxation practice to prepare for labor and birth
* have in-depth conversations with you and your birth partner(s) about making choices that are right for you and your family for your birth
