Attends hospital births? All Hospitals
Providing continuous emotional, physical, and informational support throughout labor and birth. I work collaboratively and respectfully alongside hospital staff while supporting the birthing person’s preferences and helping them feel informed, comfortable, and empowered.

Attends birth center births? All Birth Centers
Happy to support clients planning birth center births. Support may include comfort measures, position changes, relaxation techniques, emotional reassurance, partner support, and continuous labor support.

Attends home births? Some Home Births
Available for planned home births attended by a qualified midwife or other appropriate licensed birth professional. Home birth support is provided within my scope of practice as a doula and does not include clinical or medical care.
