Before having my first child, I was terrified of the act of giving birth. Pregnancy didn’t scare me nearly as much as the idea of having to birth that baby after he finished growing. I went through that pregnancy with the support of my husband and a friend with a passion for birth. After a long labor I ended up with an unplanned C section. My next birth was radically different. With the support of a doula and empowered to do the research I was able to have a successful VBAC, and then another. This experience led to a deep passion for evidence based, trauma informed doula practice; focusing on prioritizing both an ideal, rewarding childbirth experience and the life saving medical interventions sometimes needed in high risk patients. While I will joyfully join the birth team for any mom, and value, love, and support both low intervention hospital birth and homebirths, I have a deep love for high risk births. I will get into the nitty gritty with you about any and all recommended interventions to help you feel empowered to make evidence based decisions about your own care, and be a passionate advocate for whatever choices you make. I believe our bodies were made to deliver our babies. I also believe that no tool should be demonized or rejected, or likewise accepted, without due diligence. Overall I believe that every birth should be supported.

I would love to connect with you, and if you believe we are a good fit, to join your birth team.

Thank you for your response. ✨

One postpartum visit

After you deliver your baby and have settled in at home, I will come to debrief your birth experience with you. I will answer any questions you have about the experience, fill in any gaps, and listen to your birth story in your own words.

But birth can be unpredictable, so I will also include a “plan B” and “plan C”. These plans will outline your preferences and wishes in the event things start to change or you have to have an unplanned C section. By thinking through these things in advance you are able to stay in control and retain your autonomy in unforeseen situations. Finally I will also include a postpartum plan for your recovery nurses. This will include things regarding who you will allow in the room, If you are open for visitors, and if you want your baby to have a bath.
