Think of your doula as your personal birth guide. We normalize the physiological birth process, explaining exactly how your hormones, muscles, and contractions are working together so you and your partner both know what is coming next. This education completely normalizes the intense sensations of labor, shifting your mindset from a place of fear to a place of trust in your body. Beyond that mental reassurance, we are physically right there with you the whole time, using hands-on comfort tricks. This continuous, comforting care creates major clinical shifts! Studies have shown having this kind of dedicated support actually shortens labor, cuts down on medical interventions, and lowers the chance of an unexpected Cesarean by about 39%. (Bohren et al., 2017)

I provide support for all people and all births. I care about who you are, your birth preferences, and what makes you unique! Everyone deserves birth support. I am currently offering introductory prices for new clients on a sliding scale fee. Reach out for more information.

Private Pay Clients

After our initial consultation to make sure we are a good fit, I offer 2 prenatal visits where we can talk about all things pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I will provide education and resources if needed. My goal during prenatal visits is to make sure you feel confident with your choices and understand the physiological birthing process. If you have plans to be induced, aiming for a VBAC, or even have a planned C Section we can personalize the birth education. I am also available for call/text support upon hire! Starting at 37 weeks I will go on call for your birth. I will attend your labor when you need me and will stay for 1-2 hours postpartum after birth. I offer 2 postpartum visits to check on your wellbeing, assess how breastfeeding is going (if you choose to do that) and we can debrief your birth experience.

Medicaid

I am currently in the process of contracting with Provider One. I am so excited because this means my Medicaid clients will not need to pay out of pocket! Check back for updates or feel free to reach out.
