Doula: Pregnancy, Birth and Postpartum.

A doula provides information as well as physical and emotional support to a birthing person and family. Cultures all around the world have known how crucial this role is in supporting the wellbeing of the family, and how the benefits of a doula can translate to greater wellbeing for years and years to come. 

As a doula, I am committed to supporting the discovery of what’s right for you and advocating for that every step of the way. My work is trauma informed, family-centered, inclusive to different family constellations and birthing preferences, and deeply attuned to the different needs of you and your family.
