I truly believe that woman have the right to have a voice during birth, and it is my role as doula to support those decisions and help families feel empowered in their birthing experience. I am a birth advocate, and especially an advocate for mothers and the choices they make.

As a doula my main role is to support mothers and partners to ensure a satisfying and positive birth experience. I am trained in providing emotional and spiritual support, as well as physical comfort during labor. I completed a DONA training course in 2009 and it sparked my love for supporting laboring women. Since then I have been inspired to continue my learning to provide the best support I can through other doula training courses and studies in lactation and natural medicine. Some of the things in my tool kit include massage, acupressure, and items to help with visualization and relaxation. I am trained in different stretches and birthing positions to improve pain tolerance and pushing efficacy, as well I give lots of encouragement. I am passionate about my job, because I love my job!
