to become acquainted, I WELCOME all potential clients and partners to meet with me for an initial consult at no charge to you.

This will give us the opportunity to discuss and explore your priorities, concerns, and expectations in regards to your pregnancy and upcoming birth. During this meeting, I am also available to answer any questions you may have about our Team’s services and experience.

IF you Prefer to Interview me via a Phone Call or Video Chat, That is also Fine with me. I would love to talk with you!

Top 7 Reasons to Hire a Doula

  1. Because Labor can be really intense and a doula is equipped to help you find your inner strength and provide a calm and encouraging presence to help you diminish fear and reduce pain.

  2. Because a doula cares about your questions, concerns, and feelings and is available to help you find unbiased answers and listen patiently while building a connection that makes you feel safe and heard.

  3. Because a partner supports you best when they don’t feel the pressure of supporting you alone and since a doula knows birth and your partner knows you, we make the perfect team.

  4. Because a doula will guard your birth space, minimize distractions, and help maintain a positive atmosphere so that your labor will not be disturbed.

  5. Because a doula knows your birth plan and will help you and everyone else remember what your wishes are and will help you navigate any changes you want to make along the way.

  6. Because a doula can provide comfort touch, position suggestions, breathing guidance, and other helpful coping mechanisms, plus basic self-care reminders for you and your partner that are so easy to forget.

  7. Because you deserve to have all the support you want and need as you focus on finding joy in your journey!
