Unequivicable Birth Support
As a birth doula, I help expectant parents before, during, and immediately following birth by providing:
- Physical Support
- Emotional Support
- Resources & Information
- Advocacy
Whether you are a first-time parent, or this is your 4th child, the presence of an experienced support person can help maintain a sense of calm and confidence, even in the most intense moments.
Build the best labor support team who will be there to hold you as you sway through each surge, provide counterpressure to each discomfort, remind you how amazing you are doing, guide your partner in being an active support person, and keep you focused on the finish line: holding your baby in your arms.

The Process: What To Expect
Initial Consultation
The first step is for us to arrange a time for an initial consultation. It is critical that you and your partner feel comfortable with every person present at the birth. This conversation allows us to get to know each other and ensure we feel like a great fit! Consults happen over a video conference and typically last between 30-45 minutes.
Prenatal Meetings
Once we have decided to work with each other, we will plan 2-3 prenatal meetings. These meetings allow us to review in detail what your preferences are, how I can best support you, and what to expect. We can talk through any questions, expectations, and wondering you may have.
Regular Check-Ins
Parents are encouraged to reach out at any point with any questions, updates, or comments. Depending on the parent’s needs, I will check in via phone/text once every 2-3 weeks until 36 weeks. After 36 weeks, check-ins will be weekly.
The Birth
Let me doula know when you begin to experience possible signs of labor. We will stay in touch with one another and I can ask questions and provide advice over the phone during earlier labor. That being said, I will you join when you feel you need me. For some people, this is earlier in labor and for others it may not be until things are more progressed. Every birth is different but my main goal is that you feel supported every step of the way. I will be present until your baby is born and for at least an hour past the birth, or through the first feeding.
Postpartum Meeting
About 1-2 weeks after the birth, I will check in either in-person or via Zoom for a postpartum meeting. During this time, we will discuss how the first weeks are going, review any questions, and debrief from the birth.
Evidence on Doulas
There have been 26 randomized trials that tested the effects of continuous labor support on more than 15,000 people giving birth. Overall, people who receive continuous support are more likely to have a normal vaginal birth and less likely to have pain medication, negative feelings about childbirth, and Cesareans. In addition, their labors are shorter and their babies are less likely to have complications at birth or be admitted to a NICU. In these studies, the best results occurred when the continuous support was provided by a trained doula—someone who was not a staff member at the hospital and not part of the birthing person’s social network.
