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 one—no more than two—birth clients per month.

This is intentional, allowing me to remain fully available and present for each family I support throughout their birth journey.

I am an approved provider for Carrot Fertility- other than that, I am not “in-network” with any insurance plan.

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.
