Attends hospital births? All Hospitals
Of my own 8 births, one needed to be at a hospital. I was able to navigate there and have the birth I desired thru effective communication, respect and good planning. I want to help do that for you and your family! I am here to help you have the birth you desire, and will help support you and navigate with you through your hospital birth experience. Whether your plan is to birth all natural, or with the help of drugs or other medical procedures. I'll help give you Evidence Based Birth information so you can make good informed decisions, and I'll be there through it all to give you continuous emotional, educational and physical support.

Attends birth center births? All Birth Centers
I am a trained Birth Assistant at a local Birth Center, so I know very well about giving supportive care at birthing centers and love working with midwives.

Attends home births? Any Home Birth
Having had 7 homebirths myself, I am very familiar with what it takes to have a successful homebirth. At this time I do not give support at "Unassisted" births.

Relevant volunteer or advocacy work

I have been a "birth nerd" for almost 30 years now! I have personally had 7 homebirths working with 4 different midwives and doulas. I had 1 hospital birth that by the words of my midwife, "Transformed her relationship with that hospital" and the nurses were saying, " That's how every birth should be!" My love of all things birth led me to help Mama friends over the years and I eventually became a doula. I also work with midwives at a local Birth Center as a Birth Assistant which gives me valuable training and wisdom. In addition I partner with my husband, Wade, who has been a L.M.T. for over 30 years, and he offers clients prenatal/postnatal massage and infant massage as well as Craniosacral Therapy. In addition to giving massages, he can teach your partner how to massage you and teach you both how to massage your baby. I work closely with various professionals in the birth world and can recommend a quality Lactation Consultant, Midwife, OB, Chiropractor, Massage Therapist, Placenta Encapsulator and Photographer...to name a few. I am constantly studying and taking new classes related to birth services always wanting to improve my skills and training. I have certification in Doula training, Breastfeeding Support and Postpartum Support. I offer the use of a Tens Unit for pain and can offer a water tub for your water birth needs. I am also certified in Neonatal Resuscitation. I would be honored to meet with you and be apart of your pregnancy and birth!

Fee Details

As your birth doula, I will provide 2-3 prenatals where we can go over questions you may have, address any fears or concerns, develop a birth plan and cover topics like nutrition, excercise, birthing positions and comfort measures to use during birth. On the day of, I will arrive when you need me, and stay for continuous support till baby is born. I can help with initial breastfeeding if needed and will stay for about 2 hours after the birth. I will schedule 1 postpartum visit for 4-5 days afterbirth to check on your well being, feeding and make sure you and baby are coping well and I will offer to bring a homemade meal. You may find yourself needing extra support and help during postpartum days, with maintaining household chores, cooking meals, caring for other children, and watching baby so you can shower, eat and rest. I charge $25/hr for care given from 7am -7:00pm and $35/hr for care given from 8:00pm-6:00am. Minimum of 4hrs per booking. I am NRP certified.
