My philosophy and approach as a doula:

A doula is a caring and supportive guide who will assist in the development and implementation of your birthing vision. I believe my compassion, understanding nature, dependability, adaptability to changing situations, and firm belief that childbirth is an empowering event make me an excellent doula. I seek to establish supportive relationships and work to engender a calm and comforting environment to best welcome your child into the world. Drawing upon the disciplines of massage, yogic breath, posture and meditation, my aim is to help women manage pain, overcome their fears, and feel confident throughout the birth process. I place a particular emphasis on relaxation and comfort techniques that assist my clients through both childbirth and breastfeeding. I am comfortable working with couples, single mothers, same-sex parents, and have experience working with midwives and doctors and both hospital and home birth settings. My role is to support mothers and partners in a neutral non-judgmental way on their journey towards achieving their ideal childbirth and postpartum goals.
