BIRTH DOULA
As your doula I am here to support you physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. My role is to be a wealth of knowledge, a companion, an advocate, and a caretaker. I am particularly skilled in relaxation, stress-reduction and pain management. I bring my expertise as a Registered Dance/Movement Therapist and am uniquely skilled to guide mom in listening to her body’s innate wisdom throughout the birthing process and the partner in following their instincts in supporting mom. I provide a calm and steady presence to parents during the labor and delivery.

PRENATAL CONSULTATION & CLASSES
Looking for individual classes or more information tailored to your labor goals? During classes and consultations prepare for birth with the help of a knowledgable and supportive doula. Classes and consults are a great option for families who want the benefits, expertise, and support of a doula while preparing for baby's arrival but have decided having a doula present during labor and delivery is not the best fit for their family.
Take advantage of the experience of a doula with prenatal visits and education. Often families like to use this time to learn comfort techniques and pain management, discuss expectations and hopes between mom and any support people who will be present, practice relaxation and labor coping skills, and get answers to any questions they have. Most families choose to have 2-3 visits that run similarly to prenatal sessions.
