​Two Things We give Our Children: One is Roots; The other Wings"

Why I Doula...

  Birth as it is today is filled with fear. We hear horror stories of peoples births that were long and painful. Some stories include things done to them or to baby without consent. Movies with birth scenes also paint an unrealistic picture of birth as well.  Sometimes even the things our care provider or family members say to us can plant seeds of fear.  This fear has an enormous effect on labour, resulting in a long painful labor which will lead to the need of pain medications.  This often starts the spiral effect of interventions.  I am not against using these tools when needed, I just believe they can be avoided by simply educating families and having proper continuous support.
       This brings me to why I became a Doula...
I have a passion for supporting families through their journey of parenthood.  I believe every birthing person deserves to feel calm, confident, and strong, going into birth and parenthood. I want your birth experience to leave you feeling empowered! The way this happens looks different for everyone. If for you getting an epidural and birthing in the hospital is how you will feel most safe and calm then that is what you should do. I support you in however you want to birth without judgment. I am here to educate you, support you, and advocate for what you want.  Through educating families about what to expect in birth and postpartum it removes the fear of the unknown. As well allows for educated decision making as the need arises. Empowering you to trust your body and your instincts. Our bodies are amazing and were made to birth! 

​What I offer...

​Childbirth Education Classes
Whether this is your first baby or not it is so important to get educated on the birth process. This class will be a 5 week class one evening per week. You will learn about all the tests and procedures leading up to birth and your options. We will talk about the stages and phases of labour and birth, as well as what to except immediately after the birth, how to prepare and much more. A 6th bonus class will be offered postpartum to meet and connect with other moms and discuss any postpartum challenges.
Birth Doula
​A birth doula is a companion who provides families with continuous support prenatally as well as during labor and birth.  As your doula I provide judgment free physical, emotional and informational support. From the time you sign a contract with me you have unlimited talk, text or email support. 
​Postpartum Doula
​The role of a postpartum Doula is to provide judgment free emotional and physical support to your family. This support will allow you to heal, adjust and embrace the newborn period as an extended part of the birthing process. Postpartum care will differ from client to client based on needs.
