As your birth doula, my role is to provide emotional, physical, and informational support throughout your pregnancy, labor, and birth. While I cannot speak on your behalf, I can help you find your voice so you can confidently advocate for yourself and make informed decisions.

No, you’re in charge—I’m here to support you, not to direct your experience. My goal is to empower you with evidence-based information and encouragement so you feel confident making the choices that are right for you. I do not offer medical or clinical advice.

As your postpartum doula, my focus is on supporting you and your family during the transition after birth. You should know that I will not:

​

o     Tell you how to parent—every family’s journey is unique, and my role is to support your choices.

o     Diagnose medical concerns for you or your baby—I encourage you to reach out to your healthcare provider for any medical issues.

o     Replace your primary support people—I’m here to complement your support system, not to take over.

Absolutely! A doula provides support before, during, and after birth, no matter how your baby arrives. Before birth, we’ll plan for the experience and postpartum care. On the day, I’ll offer emotional support, comfort measures, and stay with you (including during a C-section if allowed). Afterward, I’ll support your recovery, newborn care, and transition into parenthood—whether you're the birthing parent, intended parent, or surrogate.

o     Doula: Offers emotional, physical, and informational support. Doulas don’t provide medical care but help you navigate choices and offer comfort.

o     Midwife: Provides medical care, including monitoring fetal health and delivering babies, in hospitals, birth centers, or home births.

o     Night Nurse / Newborn Care Specialist: Focuses on overnight care for newborns, handling feeding and sleep routines, but may not provide emotional or recovery support for parents like a postpartum doula.

I believe in a holistic, team-based approach to care and have built strong relationships with various maternal and child health professionals to ensure my clients get the support they need.

​

If you need specialized care, I can connect you with trusted providers, such as:

o     Lactation Consultants – Experts who provide guidance on breastfeeding, pumping, and infant feeding challenges.

o     Pelvic Floor Therapists – Specialists who help with pregnancy and postpartum recovery, addressing concerns like core strength, incontinence, or pain.

o     Midwives & OBGYNs – Medical providers who oversee pregnancy, labor, and postpartum care. While I don’t provide medical services, I work alongside these professionals to support your overall experience.

o     Chiropractors & Physical Therapists – Providers who focus on body alignment, pain relief, and movement support during pregnancy and postpartum.

o     Mental Health Therapists – Specialists in perinatal mental health who support parents experiencing anxiety, depression, or the emotional challenges of parenthood.

​

I am happy to collaborate with these professionals and provide referrals so you can have well-rounded, comprehensive care throughout your journey.

I understand that birth can be unpredictable, and while it’s uncommon, unexpected situations can arise. To ensure you’re always supported, I arrange for a trusted back-up doula. If you’d like, you’ll have the chance to meet them beforehand.

There’s no perfect time to hire a doula—what matters most is when you feel ready for support. If you’re eager to start planning before you’re even pregnant, I’m here to talk through your goals and provide information. If you reach out just days or weeks before birth and I have availability, I’ll be by your side when the moment comes. Whenever you decide, my goal is to provide the support you need, exactly when you need it.
