My Approach
The care and support I offer are aimed at supporting the birthing person in a holistic way. The care we receive during the time of pregnancy and up through the postpartum period have a profound impact on your life. It is my hope to allow you the joy and comfort of knowing that you will step into the journey of parenthood prepared and at ease.

To care for the birthing person, my techniques center around six core principles.
Non-Medical
As a Doula, I offer non-medical physical, mental, and emotional support during pregnancy, and postpartum period. We are not midwives nor do we provide any medical procedures, tests, or evaluations.
Family Centered
We pride ourselves on making family the center of our perinatal support. Each pregnancy, birth, and postpartum time is unique and should be treated as such. We support all families who seek our support.
Holistic
The approach to the perinatal period that we take is one that encompasses the whole individual, family unit, and all the nuances that can be experienced. Supporting you from all angles is our goal.
Evidence-Based
All services provided are fact-based. You'd be surprised that even home remedies can be fact bases. Our goal is to let the facts speak for themselves and allow families to make informed decisions from there.
Integrative
We encourage all birthing families to seek the birth experience they envision. We will support a family even when medical intervention is necessary or already planned. Doulas should complement your existing care.
