My approach is collaborative, built on a strong connection that allows me to tailor my care to your specific birth preferences and needs. Together, we’ll have four in-person prenatal sessions before you reach 38 weeks, where we’ll craft a birth plan that feels right for you. We’ll also dive into what your postpartum support will look like so you can focus on rest and bonding with your little one. During these sessions, we’ll cover different birth positions, movements, and talk through any emotional or mental aspects of birth and postpartum you might be feeling.

I like to strike a balance between thoughtful planning and flexibility, offering creative ways to help your labor progress. I’m also well-versed in supporting planned cesarean births, helping to make the experience feel just as empowering. Clients often describe my doula care as calm, intuitive, and trauma-informed.

As part of this package, you can include birth photography, which I approach in a quiet, respectful way. I’ll capture the important, tender moments of your birth while continuing to provide hands-on support.

After birth, I’ll visit you twice during those first few weeks to help with newborn care, feeding, and to support your recovery. I’m passionate about mental health, so we’ll spend time discussing how to create a restful postpartum experience, setting you up with a strong support network. I also provide a safe space to process any emotions that may arise during this tender time, and can connect you with helpful community resources.

I work best with people who appreciate a collaborative relationship, bringing together both planning and a bit of humor to navigate this important journey. I offer a free 1-hour in-person consultation to chat about your birth and see if we’re a good fit. Reach out, and I’ll get back to you within 48 hours to set up a time!
