Why hire a doula?

You deserve continuous support—informational, emotional, physical and spiritual—during your childbearing year
You deserve an advocate who will remind you of your birth preferences and ensure your rights are upheld
You deserve to be seen, respected, and celebrated in your unique birthing situation
You deserve clear communication with your staff to help you make informed choices.
You deserve continuous reassurance, perspective, suggestions for labor progress, help with relaxation, massage, positioning and other techniques that nurses, OB's, and doctors simply don't have the capacity to provide
You deserve to be heard, validated, and applauded in your most vulnerable and intimate moments

What sets me apart?

I am a certified yoga and meditation teacher that invites mind + body connection into all aspects of birth preparation
I understand mindset, breath, movement, and emotional readiness for improving birth satisfaction and outcomes
I consider sovereignty and bodily autonomy to be of paramount importance and help my clients find providers that feel the same
I am an inclusive and trauma-aware doula with an array of tools for navigating childbirth to meet you where you're at
I am committed to helping you find meaning in the journey no matter what ends up being the destination
I am a personal mentor who specializes in overcoming and preventing trauma, finding your voice, and claiming your power
I am the creator of the Bhava Birth course, a holistic and non-judgmental path for birth preparation that celebrates birth as a rite of passage

I love working with birthers and families who:

are highly motivated and want to be actively engaged in the birth process
have strong preferences yet soft expectations for their birthing experience
are actively seeking educational opportunities in their birth preparation
value collaborative/multidisciplinary care between medical and holistic practices
are utilizing midwifery care or—if high-risk—are working with a mindfully chosen OB or Doctor
are in the first and second trimesters, as this gives us ample time to connect, schedule appointments, gain clarity, and build effective support plans.

If you feel like a good candidate, I warmly invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation. Spots are limited.
