The birth doula is part of your chosen birth team - regardless of where you choose to give birth.

Just a handful of benefits of having a birth doula include:

Moms are 9% less likely to use any pain medication

Surgical births (cesarean section) drops by up to 28%

Synthetic oxytocin augmentation (Pitocin) is less likely to be used in 31% of labors

34% of mothers are more likely rate their childbirth experience more positively

Research findings based on DONA International position paper: The Birth Doula’s Role in Maternity Care.

Whether you’re planning to give birth at home with a midwife, a free standing birth center or the hospital - I offer services to meet you unique needs.

At this time, I typically support two birth clients per month.

This is allows me to remain available and present for the families that I support throughout their birth journey.

I do have a dedicated “back-up” doula that I work with, if the need for her support would arise.

To date, she’s never had to support one of my client’s labors due to me have two clients in labor at the same time.

I am an approved provider for Carrot Fertility.

I am currently in the onboarding process with Blue Cross Blue Shield to be an “in network” provider.

Other than that, I do not work with any insurance plans.

I am able to accept and process HSA/FSA cards -however, there is a 2% fee that gets passed on to the client for processing a card.

Cash, Check, Zelle or Venmo are preferred.

I am able to accept and process debit, credit and/or HSA/FSA cards -however, there is a 2% fee that gets passed on to the client for processing a card.

Regardless of your payment method, you will be provided with a receipt for your payment.

I sure do! I have a dedicated doula backup, Annette, known on the web as Oma Doula. Annette has six years of experience as a certified birth doula.

We have very similar personalities, support style and you will get to meet her in advance if you move forward with hiring me.

Yes, absolutely! The doula doesn’t replace your spouse or partner, we work together as a collaborative team!

Your spouse or partner knows you really well. The birth doula knows birth really well. Together - you have your chosen birth team that will work together to support you through pregnancy, labor and birth.

In addition, if your spouse/support person needs to step away for a few minutes, your doula is still there by your side offering continuous support.
