It's all about you, the mom.  At the end of the day, it is YOUR body, YOUR birth, and YOUR baby.  You possess all the tools to make this a wonderful birth experience.  Most of us just need a little support in the right direction!  If you want to have a completely natural labor and delivery, I will support you.  If you want to use every possible pain numbing drug available, I will support you.  You, and you alone, are the decision maker.  I plan to be there for you!

Including a doula in your birth team improves your chances of obtaining a healthier, more empowering birth experience.  I am a professional who will provide you with information, emotional and physical support.  My specialty is supporting you during your labor and delivery.

Extensive research shows that having a doula at your birth...

• drops your risk of having a ceaserean, forceps delivery, or episiotomy.
• improves your ability to cope with pain, therefore decreasing the need for pain medication.
• makes you more likely to succeed at breastfeeding your baby.
• helps you and your partner to grow closer.
• opens your eyes to how strong and capable your body really is.
