Having a baby is an adjustment to a new normal

Recovery and adjusting to bringing in a new baby is a lot! Babies don't come with a manual and they don't ready any of the parenting books that you might pick up.


Pregnancy, brith, and the postpartum time is difficult. By having me at your side you can feel confident that you'll have someone with knowledge, experience, and compassion to help relieve stress and help you move forward confidently.

I'll hold your hand through all the changes!

Doulas support you through all of the changes that your family will experience while adjusting to having a newborn.


My job is to help you through birth, to walk next to you through pregnancy, and to hold you through the postpartum journey.
