My Approach

My goal as a doula is to light the way for you as you discover, harness and delight in the power you have to birth, nurture and nourish your baby. All of these abilities are already within you- I am here to support you as you take hold of them. I will mirror your strength back to you with confidence and trust.

With today's far flung families, we often miss out on the traditional support of mothers, grandmothers, aunts and sisters who during a birth would provide not only empathy, encouragement, advice and understanding, but also a myriad of physical needs like a wipe of the brow, a shoulder to holler into, a sip of tea or some welcome counter pressure. My job is to fill this role with a nature that is strong and steadfast, yet mutable enough to fit your unique and ever changing needs as a laboring mother. I hope to light your way with encouragement, information, and a deep trust in your ability.
