Attends hospital births? All Hospitals
I have been a doula coordinator at Ashland Community Hospital in Oregon before doulas were commonplace, so I learned very early how to navigate the environment within the hospital in such a way that would be of most benefit to the mother and her partner, without creating conflict with the provider or the staff. I am very comfortable working alongside the birth team as we try to help you achieve the birth that you hope for.

Attends birth center births? All Birth Centers
I am more than happy to accompany you to a birth center to have your birth and I support your preference.

Attends home births? Some Home Births
Most of my births have been at the hospital, as I find myself advocating for women in that setting. I have only been to two home births, one in Oregon and one in Croatia.

Fee Details

I am a traditional birth doula and my goal is to help you have the most rewarding experience possible. I do this by helping you overcome your fears, give you supplemental childbirth education, and quality support during your birth. Regarding my experience, I have been a doula since 1992, and a doula trainer since 1997. I earned my Master's degree in Infant Family Practice from ASU, am a published author of a book called Christ Centered Childbirth, which is published in three countries. I charge on a sliding scale. Because I train new doulas, I can also refer you to students who are looking for experience if I am unavailable. To retain me as your Doula, I require half of the agreed upon fee upfront, and the remainder of the fee by 38 weeks. Get in touch with me and we can talk! Text is best at 480.332.6290
