I do volunteer work for a rural hospital in southern Zambia. It is my intention to provide birth doula services to women in maternity shelters near the hospital as a volunteer when I next return to Zambia, which I am tentatively planning for 2024. I sit on the board of the Global Welfare Association (GLOWA) in Cameroon, Africa. This organization is engaged in the fight to end human trafficking.
My standard birth package includes two prenatal meetings, 24/7 attendance at the birth, and one postpartum visit. An additional meeting focused on postnatal preparation can be added for an additional cost. Further, I am certified in the Body Ready Method, a system that prepares the prenatal body, through balance, strength, and resilience for an optimal pregnancy, birth, and recovery. BRM sessions can be added to the birth package or purchased separately.

This was our first baby and Debbie was absolutely amazing. I could not recommend her enough. She listened to our goals and was such a calming presence throughout our labor and delivery. I am so grateful she was apart of our birth and we will definitely be hiring her for our next baby!

Debbie was a fantastic and calming prescense during our pregnancy and labor. She was knowledgable, encouraging, and a great advocate. Debbie was with us the whole way and always had an idea/position at hand to help with the process. Overall, working with Debbie was a great experience.
