The birth of your baby is a key event in your life - one you'll remember forever. As a birth doula, I accompany women and their partners in labor to help ensure a safe and satisfying birth experience. I provide continuous emotional, physical, and informational support during your labor, birth, and immediate post-partum period.
I follow DONA International's Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics for birth doulas.
If you have questions about how a doula can help you and your partner, or would like to schedule an interview with me, please call or e-mail me at:

Labor can be short, long, easy, hard, early or late...the variations are infinite and nature writes the script.
And, while you can't predict or script your labor, you can stack the deck in your favor of having a satisfying experience:
Remain open to all possibilities of how labor might unfold;
Prepare your body and mind for the hard work of becoming a parent;
Gather close around you those who love you most; and ...
Always have continuous support!
