A baby is god's opinion that the world should go on - Carl Sandburg
Doula originally was defined as “female servant for the child-bearing woman.”
Today the word has come to mean “One who mothers the mother.”
I will serve you in the ways you find to be most helpful. I will remind you of your goals & values when you need me to do so.
I will help you learn more about pregnancy, birth and postpartum and encourage you while you make your decisions.
You are the expert on you. You and I will trust that you will make the right decisions for you and your baby.
You have the power to choose & I will always honor that power, whether or I would make the same decisions for myself.
I know that you're capable and in charge of your own experience. I also know every birth is different. Every experience is going to be unique.
I believe in you!
I look forward to supporting you with your positive birth experience!
I do NOT provide medical care or advice. That is the job of your midwife or OB.
I do not check your blood pressure, perform cervical exams, listen to your baby's heart tone, or monitor you in any medical way.
I cannot tell you when it's time to go the the hospital/birth center (but I can help read your cues and support you and your partner as you decide when it's time)
I cannot guarantee any specific outcome. While I will work with you to help express your desires for the birth and to work towards your goal, a doula cannot ever promise that everything will go the way you hoped!
Having a doula means that no matter what happens, you'll have the support and care you need to make the best decision for you and your baby for your situation.
All doula packages come with a free 30-45 minute "Meet & Greet" consultation
If you have special considerations (placenta previa, history of preeclampsia, breech baby, gestational diabetes, previous preterm birth, etc), let me know so we can create your customized plan!
Every package also comes with a Perinatal Wellness Manual with recommendations for a happy, healthy pregnancy, labor and birth.
